Is this swimsuit too grannyish?

[scrappydappydoo]

I need a new swimsuit. I am size 18/20 and don't do bikinis or tankinis so it needs to be a one piece. I have large norkage and don't feel 'safe' in a halter neck. I'm also on a budget £30 absolute max pref under £20.
Those are the criteria however a lot of suits in those categories are too 'granny on a cruise' . I have no sense of style so need massive help - I saw this what's the verdict? Or any other suggestions?

Hi scrappy, the style is lovely however the colour of looks like it's been used for years on holiday and has been faded and bleached lighter by the sun and chlorine

I like the shape, but not the pattern, sorry.

I have this and really like it. The blue seems to be in the sale in a size 18

Oops- meant to be 'colour of it'

I like the Marisota one. The first one is a good shape but it's a lot of pattern. Very memorable too if you wear it most days of the holiday. The Marisota one can be styled with different colour sarongs and you won't get bored.

The marisota one is nice.

I've got the Marisota one in black. Not grannyish as it's quite cleavage showing but keeps everything where it should be. I'm the same size as you and it's fine, only irritating thing is if you drop your straps to avoid a tan line while sunbathing you have to be watchful of the cups going awry as they're not moulded.

You might find some inspiration here?

I really like it, the colours are lovely and summery

How about this one from sports directs? I've got it and it's quite comfy and flattering

I much prefer the one in the op

I agree, the op's choice is the nicest!

Now I'm confused! I like the marisota one - it's similar to my current one but I feel I should be adventurous even though it's not in my nature.

I am an 18 and looked at that swimsuit in sainsburys today OP but there is ZERO support in the cups, I don't think I'd even fit my boobs in it so I shoved it back on the rail. Style is nice though.

I like the op one too. I think those colours would look great on a hot sunny afternoon. Casual, like a great pair of cut off jeans. A great alternative to the colourful suits with brightly painted nails and makeup. This is a suit for beach hair!

I like the one in the OP too

Also I find patterns are more flattering than plain colours (I think they hide or distract from the less than perfect bits)

I got one same style but In navy and white stripes from next. Boob area also bigger than that one looks

The Sainsburys one is gorgeous, I love it! The Marisota one looks much more granny-esque than the OPs. The pattern on the Sainsburys one is fun and vibrant, much less OAP!

I got one from Debenhams a couple of years ago. it has slight rucking/extra across the stomach area which somehow diminishes any excess you have there! Saw they have some nice ones again this year. Something like this

I got the above 2 from TKMaxx and they are both very supportive and flattering.
