Am I too old for this bikini?

I really love this bikini. I’ve been on mounjaro.
Gotten down to a size 8 and I’ve been really fortunate not to have excessive loose skin. My tummy is a little crinkled around the belly button though. I don’t have much of a chest anymore. I’m 46. I do have a tan skin which I think helps with the skin texture a bit.

What do you think? I really don’t want to wear a similar style to my mum yet 😂 and hate patterns. My husband says buy whatever I like, but I’m so hesitant, despite loving it.

I don't think age has anything to do with wearing a bikini i think its more about body shape a slim 60 year old will look better then a 20 year old with a big belly. I don't wear bikinis anymore because I have a fat stomach but if I had a flat stomach I absolutely would

Of course it is 🙄

In case you hadn't noticed already, you're outnumbered. 🙄

It’s so tiresome that women are still asking questions like this

I’m 10 years older than you, size 8 like you and have just worn a bikini in Italy.. as we’re all the others my age. I looked ok but to be honest I just want to be comfortable in heat so that looks perfect to me!

I think its colour could make people do a double take and think u are not wearing anything if u have a tan.

On holiday last year there was a lady that I imagine was in her eighties wearing a fabulous bikini. She looked fabulous and you will too.

Jeezo, have we not got over this shit yet, of course you are not too old for this bikini or indeed any other you wish to wear! Wear it and enjoy it. Anyone who feels women are at some point too old for various items of clothing are perfectly at liberty not to wear them themselves, and should keep their antiquated views to themselves..
