Non-boring swimming costume

6 replies

I think my bikini days are over, sadly, as I have crepey skin on my abdomen that won’t away (barring a tummy tuck).*

I’d like a swimming costume for beach holidays that doesn’t look too practical ( like the sort I use for lane swimming)- something that feels a bit glam
and bikini-ish without being a bikini.

Any recs? Happy to spend a bit.

*Of course I know I could wear a bikini if I wanted and everyone should wear whatever the like- just mentioning this to give a bit of context.

Look at Joe browns, lovely fabrics and vintage style

By glam do you want pretty or sexy?

There are plenty of swimsuits that have cut outs, low cut chest or a cheeky bum. Alternatively the pretty vintage styles are visually interesting without being as revealing.

Oceana is a good sparkly glam brànd. Not cheap!
