Nude swimsuit - I can't find one!

I've been wanting a nude-coloured swimsuit (I'm fair but tan pretty easily) for a couple of years, and now apparently the fashion gods are smiling upon me and they're a thing. Trouble is, there are none in the shops and the only ones I've seen online are around £300 ( my budget's around £100) or almost entirely arseless! Have any of you style and beauty mavens spotted this rare beast, the nude swimsuit that features bum coverage?

you do realise that from a distance you will look naked

I think Cos have something. Not 100% sure

You will look starkers from a distance!

I've never seen a nude swimsuit! Won't you just look......nude? Shock

Why not just put elastoplasts over your nips and foof?

Cheap and practical. Make sure you use waterproof ones though, or else it could get embarrassing. And remove them very slowly.

Woman had one on next to me by pool last week. About 50 people walking into the complex or past it were doing double takes as she looked starkers. I think you'd only be able to get away with it if you were incredibly fit and toned or it'd looked pretty dreadful.

I think they'd look great on black skin for example but no, if you're white it just looks like some weird modern interpretive dance ensemble

God what a hideous idea. That asos one looks like one of my gran's support garments

IHaveBrilloHair · 22/04/2017 12:54

They look great on the models assuming they are going to some fashionable beach resort, not so much me bobbling about the local baths with pissy water and floating foot skin.

AllTheWittyNamesAreGone · 22/04/2017 12:56

I saw one at the swimming pool, the young lady was fit and toned but still looked like she was wearing sausage skin

WaitrosePigeon · 22/04/2017 12:59

Why?!

TakeASipOfDancingJuice · 22/04/2017 13:00

I met up with my friend a while ago and she had brown leggings on. I must have been staring as she walked over to me cos the first thing she said was 'I look like I'm not wearing any trousers don't I'
She really did, they were the exact colour of her skin. I've never seen her in them again!
I wouldn't wear flesh toned leggings for the same reason. I don't want to look nekkid.

Wondermoomin · 22/04/2017 13:03

Takeasip 😂 I rarely chuckle out loud when reading MN but that did it

OP, interested to know whether you are still in the market for a nude swimsuit now?

MerryMarigold · 22/04/2017 13:09

Most of those swimsuits are little more .

But seriously, what's wrong with a nude swimsuit - everyone loves nude shoes and no-one says it looks like you're wearing no shoes!

I was thinking of the 'Chandelier' music video too!

Penguin27 · 22/04/2017 13:13

I had a nude swimsuit when I was about 10... never been so embarrassed in all my life!
