I love these. I think the floral one looks better but both great.

ClaredeBear · 02/04/2026 15:27

Love the flowery on you. Others are fine though. Have a lovely time!

I love the flower one!

hellswelshy · 02/04/2026 15:29

No they look great. Much better than a one piece in my opinion. Enjoy your holiday!

ImFinePMSL · 02/04/2026 15:31

You look great! And glad you’ve got a confidence boost 😄

Just a warning though, when I’ve had swimwear from SHEIN, they take ages to dry. Even when left on the balcony overnight they’re still damp the next day. So the quality isn’t that great tbh.

I’ve got a pair of these high waisted bikini
bottoms from Boux Avenue and love them!

I think you'll look better in one piece but they're not bad

My thoughts exactly. If you are choosing between the two in these photos, l think the stripey one is more flattering.

Imonlyhereforthebuffet · 02/04/2026 15:35

You look lovely OP. I like the flowery set best 🥰

dollyblue01 · 02/04/2026 15:36

I like them both on you and think they suit your figure I’d keep them both 🙂

Whippets81 · 02/04/2026 15:38

I think you look great you’re a similar shape to me. Going against the grain I prefer the stripy one slightly but I think both look good.

Winewolfhywls · 02/04/2026 15:39

The flowery one is lovely

Twiglets1 · 02/04/2026 15:39

Like nearly everyone else it seems, I prefer the flowery one.

But both look fine!

IMustDoMoreExercise · 02/04/2026 15:41

I think that the striped one looks great on you and suits your shape.

Sorry don't think the other one suits your shape.

fruitfly3 · 02/04/2026 15:42

Not at all, but I think you’d suit a stronger set of colours. I’ve had my eye on the floral set - gorgeous!

Yerroblemom1923 · 02/04/2026 15:43

Love the floral but whichever you feel more confident in is best. A one piece would be more flattering, perhaps, as others have said it would flatter your great waist and curves. I wish I had the confidence to wear a bikini!

Hi, OP.
Speaking for myself, I feel these threads get lot of deleted comments and vulgarities from posters.
You asked for an honest opinion.
I wouldn't be happy with myself, looking similar.
As per PPs, as long as YOU feel comfortable and confident.
Everyone is different.

SirChenjins · 02/04/2026 15:44

You look great! I think you've got the perfect body shape for a retro fifties style one piece, if you fancied a different style. Have a great holiday Smile

handsdownthebest · 02/04/2026 15:47

I actually agree with @Asiana .
I like the florally one on you but I think a bikini with less coverage would look better on you .

EvangelicalAboutButteredToast · 02/04/2026 15:48

I really like the floral one.

Hesma · 02/04/2026 15:48

They look good but it’s about how you feel. If you don’t feel comfortable then treat yourself to something new, maybe a play suit style cossie.

NotThisAgainSunshine · 02/04/2026 15:49

Very nice.
I prefer the flowery ones.
The black and white ones will look lovely with a sun tan though.
(But look after your skin 😊)

Your comment seems to be the most “vulgar” here so far.

Imagine telling another woman that you’d be unhappy if you looked like her. Do you honestly think that’s a helpful thing to say?

Dollymylove · 02/04/2026 15:50

They are both fine but the flowery one is more flattering in my opinion

WearyAuldWumman · 02/04/2026 15:50

They don't look bad to me. My preference is for the floral outfit.

LadyMacbethWasFierce · 02/04/2026 15:52

The flowery one looks fab. The other looks perfectly fine. You have an in proportion figure, nice skin and great legs. Enjoy your holiday if that’s where you are off to.

Funny that, every other comment on this thread has been helpful and supportive and then you came along
