Is 38 too old for a bikini?

I don't want to look like I'm desperately hanging onto my yoof. Do I need to resign myself to a naice one piece or can I get away with it for a bit longer? I'm 5ft5 , size 10 and quite toned.

And if you've seen anything you like - please share!

lol - got the mental image now - how does hair defy gravity like that - I'm always trying to beat mine into submission.

Been wearing the Gap trews you recommended with converse. So comfy that I wish I'd bought 2 pairs though.

have you ???

lovely that I could recommend something

I wear mine a lot...but they do kinda go a bit baggy after a little while though

I think I needed a size 11, tbh < humpf >

err, do I know you under another name ? No need to say if you don't wanna

Well, thanks, because I'm crap at choosing stuff like that.

Mine fit fine now since the camel toe has gone I lost some weight.

No, I don't think so.

I am past 40 and size 14 and wear a bikini.

Feel like a right fat frump in a swimming costume tbh

swimming costumes are so HOT. I would wear a bikini and sod what anyone thinks, but would chuck on a vest for parading around

those tankini things are slightly less horrid than swimming costumes but only slightly.

I am 50 and size 6, (but not in a good way)

My mum's 64 and still wears one and I think she looks fab

changefortoday · 20/04/2010 13:29

nope

I haven't read all the replies but if Helen Mirren can do it at 62, and look great, then 38 is a mere child.

Bikinis aren't about age- they are about body shape and skin quality.

why on earth do you think 38 is OLD?
