Where is the flowery one from @Fundraiser12345 ?

You look great btw

viques · 02/04/2026 15:04

Are they comfortable? Can you move in them without pulling and readjusting? If both are yes then they are good. They a)look fine and b) are fit for purpose.

have a lovely time wherever you are going.

canisquaeso · 02/04/2026 15:04

IMO yes but it’s not you, it’s the grandma cut bikini. I also thought they looked awful of TSwift and she’s built like a model.

dailyconniptions · 02/04/2026 15:04

I like them! Possibly the stripey one has the slight edge but they're good OP.

facethemusical · 02/04/2026 15:07

I much prefer the black and white one on you unlike everyone else!

The flowers are quite mumsy IMO and there is a flower over each nipple which I wouldn't want personally.

MrsPottscloset · 02/04/2026 15:08

The flowery one looks best, if I'm being honest I think you would look better in a one piece swimsuit but they do look nice.

patchysmum · 02/04/2026 15:09

No but think you would look better in a one piece

levitational · 02/04/2026 15:09

Personally, I don't think the black and white one is at all flattering - the fabric and cut make the bikini bottoms look a bit nappy-like. But the floral one is very cute on you, that's def the winner. Fake tan definitely a good idea, as you suggest, as think will make the tones of the floral one look even better on you.

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 02/04/2026 15:12

I would personally look for a one colour one, I’ve got an Australian tankini in bright red which is super flattering.

bunnyvsmonkey · 02/04/2026 15:13

I think you need more boob support. If they were properly supported and hoiked up it would change your whole shape.

watchingthishtread · 02/04/2026 15:15

I agree with the pp. While the idea is good, I think a bit of support in the boob area wouldn't go amiss.

Catsanddog · 02/04/2026 15:15

Both look good. If you aren't confident in them, maybe look for bottoms with a skirt attached? Have a lovely holiday x

AmberFawns · 02/04/2026 15:16

I think you look really good. You’ve chosen a style that suits you. I agree that the flowery one looks particularly nice but I’d keep both as I think the style works for you. Ignore people going on about a one-piece. They’re projecting their own insecurities.

DesperatelySeekingHelp · 02/04/2026 15:16

No not at all.

Goldfsh · 02/04/2026 15:18

The flowery one is nicest! I also think you'd suit a darker red retro style two-piece...

tartyflette · 02/04/2026 15:18

It’s nice to see two 2-piece swimsuits looking good on a normal sized and shaped woman and not just on a swimsuit model.
And the floral one is very pretty.

PumpkinsAndCoconuts · 02/04/2026 15:21

They definitely don’t look bad!
And you look really good in the flowery one!

The black and white stripes are fairly high in contrast end emphasise your paleness in an (in my personal opinion) unflattering manner. I‘m also pale btw so definitely familiar with the struggle 😅

horizontal stripes are also surprisingly unforgiving (horizontal stripes make my chest look maaaassive) so I personally wouldn’t... And vertical ones come with a whole host of other issues ime…

Sassylovesbooks · 02/04/2026 15:21

No, I don't think you look bad, in either of them. However, it's not what we think on MN, it's what you think, that's important.

allthingsinmoderation · 02/04/2026 15:23

Do you like them?

Cheesegrapeschutney · 02/04/2026 15:24

I think you look lovely too, the first one has inspired me to have a look for a floral/more colourful swimming set as all mine are a bit boring.

DrunkOnYourVine · 02/04/2026 15:25

The black and white one seems to give you bit more support but the colour of the floral one is better with your skin colour. On the floral one, the placement of the red flowers on the top is a little unfortunate. 😬

I think you could find swim wear that looks better so I would try some different ones if I were you.

LaurieFairyCake · 02/04/2026 15:25

I also think they’re very flattering

SerenitySeeker4 · 02/04/2026 15:25

No

WonderingAboutThus · 02/04/2026 15:25

If I would look at you at the swimming pool (I wouldn't), it would be because I would think you look nice in those bathing suits and they're nice suits also.

mochimoons · 02/04/2026 15:26

They both look really good!
