That first one is REALLY cute.

Glad you think so because I just bought it! :jumping
Last summer I wasn't in the best shape, so I don't think I wore a swimsuit once.
But I'm excited for this summer and this bikini! :woohoo


Just a curious question, how many bikinis do you all own?

I ended up chucking all my old ones because they were fading and worn out so this is now this new one is the sole swimsuit I own, I have a feeling I should have more than one so I can rotate them....

^ I only normally have 1-2 at the time. :rofl

Emily, I don't know about that particular VS suit but I have others and I always wear a small in their bottoms. I am a size 28 for reference and I do have a butt.

And that Seafolly suit is gorgeous!

 

[emilyLOVESlime]

Wow, maybe they run large then.

I only have 2 swimsuits right now, and i dont really wear one because its got a crisscross back and I don't want weird tan lines :rofl

 

[Rivkah]

I have 2 "main" bikinis but I don't throw out old ones. So I actually have 2 other bikinis and a Speedo (from when I thought I would do laps -- I hate swimming). Plus 2 suits at my parents' house.

Around 60-75. Actually...probably more. I should count. I have about 20 that I have ordered since Fall that I haven't even tried on yet. lol

OMG!!!!!:rofl

OMG!!!!!:rofl

I know :ashamed It's awful.

Before boobs and before losing weight I had like, maybe 10 at a time. The amount of bras and bikinis I own now is ridiculous.

 

[emilyLOVESlime]

Holy crap Amber :rofl

 

[DaisyDuke]

I literally had over 300 swimsuits at one time. I donated two huge Glad bags full of nothing but swimsuits:ashamed
I think I have about 100 now give or take.

I LOVE that VS suit. I saw it in the store but I like the yellow embellished. Not sure I want to pay $60 for it, in the store it was $58.
Years ago I couldn't wear any VS bikinis because they ran HUGE. Smalls legit were really a medium/large. I tried them again last year and they fit fine now. I haven't gained weight or inches, so I'm assuming in some styles they run normal while others they run big. The two I have that fit are "cheeky" bottoms. The ones I found to run big were the more fuller coverage.

Edited to add: If you REALLY like a top such as this one that goes by bra size. You can always buy the top at VS and bottoms somewhere else

[emilyLOVESlime]

Thanks Erica!
I ended up buying the Avocado one yesterday. Now that more suits are on sale I might just buy a couple more if that one doesn't work out.

I'm slightly pissed that they are having this sale right after I used my code though

 

[liimegreeen]

I wish I had a need to buy a new bathing suit :cry Currently I have ONE. I live in the city, don't have a pool to go to, and go to the Jersey shore like once a year.

How about for men? What do you ladies recommend for someone with an athletic build?
I was looking into these so some feedback would be great:

^noooo...don't like. too short, too tight.
Guys should stick with board shorts.
Even swimmers only look good in spedos when theyre actually racing.

Really? Even Daniel Craig in Casino Royale? Hmm...know of any cool "board shorts" you could recommend to me?

 

[**fancy**pants**]

No. Just no.

not unless you like men.

idk about board shorts. something plain, not too flashy.

No no. I just simply know that women went pretty crazy over his 'swimming scene' in it.

How about something like these? They look pretty nice.
