In fact, I'm eyeing that silver one myself. I like the idea of being able to take it off and still have a cute bikini or one piece underneath. After all, beach vacations can get pretty hot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-the-swimsuit#post-833159 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 13:31:00 +0000 Archer 833159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae - don't believe you have ever been huge but I agree with your description of the bathers. They are quite lovely in themselves but I agree with rute. I think you might look more relaxed (read fab @ the beach) in a vibrant, groovy patterned bikini or boy leg bottom togs, and a rash vest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-the-swimsuit#post-833138 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 12:52:25 +0000 Thistle 833138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 the best that you linked to. I think they are flattering and pretty.</p> <p>That said, the silver one Rae linked to seems more you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-the-swimsuit#post-833065 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 11:41:13 +0000 Raisin 833065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are really cute, and I think it's very important to protect your skin in the sun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-the-swimsuit#post-833050 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 11:10:18 +0000 kkards 833050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>aesthetically speaking i like #1, but some things i think should also be practical. while these suits will cover you up, i think they would be a pain to get in and out of. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-the-swimsuit#post-833040 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 11:02:42 +0000 Jjsloane 833040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Rae, very gymnast looking (and honestly not flattering on the models to my eye so not sure what a real person would look like in one) I love the silver rashguard top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-the-swimsuit#post-833039 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 11:01:44 +0000 Lyrebirdgully 833039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rashies FTW! good to hear someone else covers up near the beach, AG.<br /> I suspect the horizontal waistline on the onepiece may be unflattering. Also, critically, where is the built-in bra? too much risk of droop and sag, in my view, for anyone past their teen years, except for those with a triathlete's build.. I'm guessing a bikini top underneath would be a must.<br /> I think the following could also align with your style:<br /> <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/rashguard-cynthia-rowley/vp/v=1/845524441961669.htm?folderID=2534374302067619&#038;colorId=21749&#038;extid=affprg-2178999" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/rashgua.....rg-2178999</a><br /> <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/flourishing-snake-rashie-zimmermann/vp/v=1/1595570199.htm?fm=search-viewall-shopbysize" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/flouris.....shopbysize</a><br /> <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/bells-rash-guard-basta-surf/vp/v=1/845524441961261.htm?fm=search-viewall-shopbysize" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/bells-r.....shopbysize</a><br /> <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/brightside-rashie-zimmermann/vp/v=1/1526226299.htm?fm=search-viewall-shopbysize" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/brights.....shopbysize</a><br /> <a href="http://www.cooliessurf.com/rashguards/womens-long-sleeve/WLS-PL200.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.cooliessurf.com/ras.....PL200.html</a><br /> The zip front type below is stylish (if you can find a colour you like), because you put it over a bikini and wear it open occasionally.<br /> <a href="http://www.sds.com.au/product/oneill-zip-through-ls-rash-vest-by-oneill-in-aqua-grey-lilac" rel="nofollow">http://www.sds.com.au/product/.....grey-lilac</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-the-swimsuit#post-833036 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 10:54:07 +0000 ManidipaM 833036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked all three of your selection, and I liked rae's pair too, though I suspect you're better off with the longer sleeves? Personally, I prefer one-piece suits over bikini plus rashguard, but that's just a subjective preference. FWIW, theseea lot doesn't make me think of leotards... maybe the patterns are much too fashionable and interesting to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-the-swimsuit#post-833021 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 10:04:47 +0000 rute 833021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are cute, but strange to go to a tropical place where everyone wears bikinis...<br /> Maybe a rash guard top with a nice bikini bottom? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-the-swimsuit#post-832996 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 09:18:29 +0000 ElleH 832996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the one piece swimsuits you linked to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-the-swimsuit#post-832950 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 06:03:37 +0000 jayne 832950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 alot and the first one rae showed...never heard of a rash guard before....but thinking to my last snorkeling experience with what seemed to be tiny sting things in the water....it would have been useful </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-the-swimsuit#post-832934 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 05:22:24 +0000 deb 832934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the rash guards better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-the-swimsuit#post-832917 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 05:01:37 +0000 lyn* 832917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the silver rash guard (?) in Rae's post - it's very Bond Girl </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-the-swimsuit#post-832914 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 05:00:33 +0000 rae 832914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cynthia Rowley?<br /> <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/rashguard-cynthia-rowley/vp/v=1/845524441961669.htm?folderID=2534374302067619&#038;colorId=21749&#038;extid=affprg-2178999" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/rashgua.....rg-2178999</a></p> <p>Silver metallic?<br /> <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/short-sleeve-rashguard-pret-a/vp/v=1/845524441960814.htm?folderID=2534374302067619&#038;colorId=45900&#038;extid=affprg-2178999" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/short-s.....rg-2178999</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-the-swimsuit#post-832911 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 04:57:46 +0000 rae 832911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meh. I think you'd look cooler/better/more fashionable in a rash guard. These just look like gymnastics leotards to me... although I was a huge gymnastics fan when I was little. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-the-swimsuit#post-832907 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 04:51:38 +0000 Beth Ann 832907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these! My favorite is #1, but I can see you looking terrific in #2. I had a basal cell carcinoma years ago --- and have been fashionably pale ever since! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinion-on-the-swimsuit#post-832900 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 04:44:36 +0000 annagybe 832900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whenever I go somewhere tropical I swim wearing a rash guard. I had a skin cancer scare a few years ago, complete with big scar on my back. I wonder if this would solve that issue. </p> <p><a href="http://www.theseea.com/collections/one-piece-suits/products/hermosa-one-piece-scarlet-brown-shell" rel="nofollow">http://www.theseea.com/collect.....rown-shell</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.theseea.com/collections/one-piece-suits/products/hermosa-one-piece-teal-stripe" rel="nofollow">http://www.theseea.com/collect.....eal-stripe</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.theseea.com/collections/one-piece-suits/products/hermosa-suit" rel="nofollow">http://www.theseea.com/collect.....rmosa-suit</a></p> <p>My current rash guard is a basic black I bought from Quicksilver in Australia. </p>
