The flowery one looks very nice on you.
The check one isn't as good, I think because the strong colour makes too much of a contrast with your pale skin and it is a little bit tight. It's fine but you could find something better.

The striped one is the better of the two. The floral one is a horrible colour for you and it gives you two flowers right on your boobs. I'm another one saying get a one piece or a more structured bikini. Also yes to some fake tan. You can't go cheap with swimwear when you need it to work for you.

I hadn't noticed the flower nipples
the point is however - your body is FINE and no one looks good in your bedroom in April all pasty white
Find a colour that suits you in clothes and but it in bikini

I really like the flowery set as well. I don't think the black/white set fit you as well - the fabric seems to bunch a bit on the top.

Flowery one is better on your skin tone as well. Great choices, OP.

DandyDenimScroller · 02/04/2026 18:12

I prefer the flowery ones too. Have a lovely holiday.

Franpie · 02/04/2026 18:15

I really like the fit of them on you but I’d send the striped one back. The horizontal stripes cut you into 3rds and so not as flattering. The floral one looks great on you.

Happyjoe · 02/04/2026 18:15

Love the retro look, they look good!

PenelopePinkerton · 02/04/2026 18:20

The flowery one is great.

namechange864 · 02/04/2026 18:22

You look like a normal human being in a bikini and you should wear what you like. If you wanted suggestions about what might make you look even better then I’d say you’ve got good boobs and a bikini top with a bit more of a support/lift effect would accentuate that, or maybe just a lower cut top. Also, the high waisted pants and longish top just highlights your tummy instead of drawing attention to how your waist nips in. A one piece or lower cut pants might look better.

Triskellion75 · 02/04/2026 18:27

I like both but the flowery one makes you look like a 50s bombshell. Gorgeous!

Any need to be this harsh?

Reginette · 02/04/2026 18:40

You look super cute! I think both suit you.

wellfuckadoodledoo · 02/04/2026 18:40

I’m another one that thinks the flowery one looks great.

(And I think one pieces are less flattering, btw. They certainly are on me!)

Did this comment make you feel better about yourself? Bully.

Itsnotallaboutyoulikeyouthink · 02/04/2026 18:55

I personally don’t understand why anyone would wear a two piece tbh so I’d say go for a one piece . But ignore me I have never ever ever worn a bikini and wouldn’t whatever size I was.

Dullmary · 02/04/2026 18:55

You look bloody gorgeous! Please don’t feel self conscious, your skin is amazing. I wish I looked like that in swimwear instead of mass of dimpled cellulite.

slapmyarseandcallmemary · 02/04/2026 18:57

They look lovely on you x

midlifeattheoasis · 02/04/2026 19:00

Yes

HardyEustace · 02/04/2026 19:00

Neither are great OP. I think you can do better.

Doihavetogotoworkdotcom1 · 02/04/2026 19:03

You look gorgeous in both of them. I like the stripy one best, but both look lovely on.

ArwenUndomniel · 02/04/2026 19:03

It's difficult to tell from a static photo but the top (on both of them) looks as if it might roll up at the hem and be quite uncomfortable. It also ends right on your waistline and obscures the fact that you do actually have one! My advice would be to go for a bra-style top with a band just under your bust. The style of the bottoms is fine as is.

MrsTravelBug · 02/04/2026 19:08

They both look fine on you, hope you have a great time!

clarepetal · 02/04/2026 19:09

My fave is the flower one, but am partial to a floral! You look great in them both.

Isadora2007 · 02/04/2026 19:16

Treylime · 02/04/2026 16:47

Going against the grain here but i much prefer the black and white one.

I agree. As the flowery one has flowers at the nipples and once you see it you can’t not see it.
