Swimsuits

So I have two tankinis that are three years old. One that I wear a lot is faded on the trim. I saw an article that there's been a shift away from bikinis to one pieces. I have not seen a lot of tankinis out there.
These two caught my eye:

The feather-print is pretty but I really like the cat for you!

I love the feather print! The location of the cat's eyes would bother me.

Ooh, I like both a lot! Feather would be easier to wear, but cat is super cool.

I'm a bikini girl personally. My proportions are weird for most one pieces, and tankinis roll up and give me muffin top.

I like a one-peice myself, and I find them really hard to find! Most real stores have 99% bikini's. I have a bikini, but I always like a one-piece, especially when swimming with my kids....they get handsy! haha!

I think the feather one you linked is really cute!

One is pretty - in a good way & the other is very dramatic. I would wear #1 but I love the other one for someone who would feel comfortable in it.

I like both of those, Anna!

I was really happy in my Freya suits last summer because they gave such great bust support. I could be really active and never worry about falling out or adjusting straps, etc. But if you aren't concerned about heavy-duty support, those are both beautiful choices.

I like the feather print better. The matching cover up is beautiful too.

Swimsuits are one of those things that I really don't care so much about what's in -- I'm all about flattery!

That said, the cat is cool but I agree the eye placement would make me uncomfortable. The feather print is really nice, reminds me of a Liberty print, but how are you with thin straps like that? I can only do them if the suit has a good structured bra cup in the top for some support.

I am either a bikini or one-piece girl. Tankinis don't work well on me, maybe because of my short torso. I love the swimsuit makers who have started actually doing bra cup sizing -- that's been a lifesaver for me!

I'm actually leaning towards the cheetah one. My stomach has too much apple tendencies for a bikini. Though I remember when I was in Mexico there was a woman at our hotel who was very overweight sporting a string bikini at the pool. I do not have that level of confidence.
When I'm actually swimming, I wear a rash guard, because I had a skin cancer scare a few years ago. On the shore I wear a sleeved cover-up. The feathered suit cover-up doesn't have sleeves.
