    To all those thinking the style isn't the best, which style should I go for? I need support, so the ones that aren't underwire don't usually work. I tried these on but they didn't feel right. 5k0azsnx2ozs.jpg9wh70uu3sbdi.jpg

    Oh see I like the maroon one

    Yep, I like the maroon one as well.

    The maroon one is super cute, but you should go up a size on the bottoms. They look like they're cutting in a bit.

    I didn't get the bottoms- they were high waisted and not flattering so I just rolled them down a bit (hance the cutting haha)

    A halter-style underwire top is going to be your best bet for support. Something like this, maybe, judging by the other styles you seem to like:

    At Target. It's available in regular bra band and cup sizing, which is nice.

    Everything about your posture (feet turned in, toes curled under, hand flat on thigh) says you're not comfortable in these suits (or at least not taking your picture in them :smile: ) Whatever you decide on, just be sure you can relax and have fun in it!

    purple one, its about as complicated as I'm prepared to like. I don't understand all these fancy designs on bikinis, surely they're so you can get a tan and enjoy the weather? I wouldn't want a tan with all these odd patterns all over the place!

    Not trying to be mean, but I never liked the "grandma kitchen window treatment" style of swim bras.

    You look beautiful and as for the suit, wear what you want and feel comfortable in. Personally I am not a fan of that top, but if you are, that's all that matters.

    To be fair, it's been a while since this pasty girl got a tan on purpose :laugh: Tan lines are far off in my almost-forgotten past lol

    I love the maroon one! It looks great on you!! It still shows a bit, but in a good way. I've never been a fan of the style in the first picture, but I am probably almost twice as old as you! :smile:

    You look great! Have fun!

    You're too sweet man. More men should be like you.

    Maybe just buy what you like and don't care what anyone else says.

    I think I'm more curious what makes someone think it's "trashy". If you like it, then it shouldn't matter what other people say.

    As for my opinion (since you were asking us), while it's not a style I would wear, I think it looks great on you. Would look nicer with a matching bottom or some boy shorts, I think.

    Why do you think you need to lose weight to wear what you like? It's not like you're trying to squeeze into a suit that's too small for you. I think as long as you don't have to fear accidental boob spillage, you're fine.
