Beach Report: Bikinis Are Out, Maillots Are in, Wear Whatever the Hell You Feel Best in
LatestAccording to the fashion forward folks at the New York Post, bikinis are out and one piece swimsuits are in. This is because… well, Kim Kardashian wore one once? And, as we all know, she’s an arbiter of good taste. OK, that’s unfair on both accounts, Ki-Ka can certainly rock a LBD, and maillots do appear to be a trend on the rise. In fact, designer Quentin Smith says that “maillot mania” is most likely due to “the 1950s pin-up resurgence we’re seeing in many areas of women’s fashion.”
I can get behind that, there are some 50s swimsuits that are sizzling hot. My entire bathing suit repetoire is made up of ModCloth fatty-friendly styles. This green one with my red hair? HIDE YOUR MAN AND YOUR LIBIDO BECAUSE MAMA LOOKS GOOD.
