    Are girls who wear one piece bathing suits perceived as boring?
    I seem to have a preference for one piece bathing suits, I find them more flattering and I like the way they hug my curves. But it seems to me that most girls just wear bikini's nowadays, even if they look hideous in them.

    I am a size 10, with measurements of 34 24 36 and when I get the right type of bikini, it looks great on me, but my preference is a one piece. I also prefer to leave a lot to the imagination.

    I think one pieces are more classic and flattering on a girl than bikinis.

    Hi!

    I think one piece is coming back and it's absolutely trendy. I have seen amazing ones in the summer collections

    Wear what is comfortable, not what is perceived to be the right thing. Confidence and being comfortable are the important factors, that and you personally liking the clothing.

    No, I just feel that they're better suited to the 'larger' woman. One-piece bikinis also provide better coverage and allow you to receive the benefits of a two-piece bikini without all of the negatives, IMO.

    There's nothing wrong with one pieces.

    I absolutely love swimsuits, I'm not into bikini's I will maybe wear one occasionally but 99% of the time I will wear one of my many many swimsuits I have collected, I have a good sized draw full of them and collection is still growing,

    I personally find swimsuits more comfortable and flattering and I think that more girls should wear swimsuits more often than bikini's,

    Swimsuits are coming back in to fashion again and hopefully will pick up faster as they are better, I think however that some girls suit bikini's more than swimsuits however the majority of girls suit swimsuits more and suit both. There are quite a few girls though that should definitely not wear swimwear and should stay properly covered up i.e. obese girls

    Some one pieces are quite boring. However, some can be pretty hot - I don't see how you could call styles these boring :p:

    If it's swimming in the UK then I might consider a one piece, but when I'm on holiday I like an all over tan and not a white belly or weird tan lines from a cutout swimsuit.

    anything more than zero piece is unacceptable.

    No, I'd categorise it as in keeping with the time period.

    Yeah, and you'd probably walk around awkwardly looking at the ground.

    For swimming, a one piece - for beaching a bikini.

    How about you grow a pair and wear what you want?

    To be fair, if she did indeed 'grow a pair', both options wouldn't be very flattering and she should go for shorts instead...

    I think one piece swim suits can be a lot more flattering than two piece bikinis which can seem to make fat spill out of all of the wrong places on the slimmest of girls. Also, as you said, it leaves more to the imagination, which is surely more desirable than having every inch of flesh on display for everyone to see?

    Given the thread title, I would suggest that if they grew a pair, they should wear Speedos to offer optimal bulge. Nothing boring about that.
