Swim wear for the summer?

Options
It's already starting to get warm and I thought what kind of swim wear do people most like of. What do you want to see or do you just prefer not to go at the beach at all?

Replies appreciated.

    I was thinking of basic shorts or something humorous. Not sure yet though. Time will tell what happens here.

    Baldrick, does it have to be this way? Our valued friendship ending with me cutting you up into strips and telling the prince that you walked over a very sharp cattle grid in an extremely heavy hat?

    Sitting here freezing, contemplating having to work outside and the normal summer temperatures of the north east coast I was thinking thermal vest, leggings and fleece. As for activities, shivering and having lots of hot drinks tends to be the norm :D

    being fat, i cover up as much as possible on the beach - if swimming, wear a swimsuit and sarong, otherwise fully clothed. I always feel a burka would be appropriate wear for me! Bought a swimskirt this year to further cover up.
    Don't like to see fat old women topless, sadly this is all too common. Aargh. I feel qualified to comment as I am one myself. I especially feel its an insult to other mediterranean countries who put up with it out of politeness but goodness knows what they think of us Brits.

    Like to see - people wearing stuff that suits them - if tummy a bit fat, you look better in a one piece. Old men shouldn't wear speedos.

    Rant over.

    I could not agree more - nothing worse than seeing a size 20+ wearing a bikini under the rolls of fat!

    I used to wear a bikini but would not dream of it now, feel bad enough about wearing a one-piece at size 12 (complete with stomach!!) and age 48!
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    I don't. I have a belly, and after years of being told I look far better in a bikini, have eventually conceeded. It made no rational sense that I'd look better in a bikini, but all a one peice does is make me look like a pregnant kangaroo.

    When I'm in a bikini, the first thing you notice about me is my other "generous" curves. A couple of years back, I discovered the joys of a naturist beach on a small, laid back, unpretentious Greek island. Once I got over the initial terror, it was bliss. :T

    I was thinking something like this please don't look at the swim suit at all, if you're just going to yell that it's advertising.

    My wife said that would be funny and I've been thinking of that since then. What do you others think? Would it be funny or just sad?
