help with choosing new bikini

happy35

I am looking to buy 2 new bikinis for my holiday in August this year and fancy a bandeau style.

I wondered if anyone could advise on whether they think the new style bikini bottoms with the frill are flattering? Geri Halliwell has some nice bikinis in the Next catalogue but dont know whether these will be very flattering or actually make me look wider than I am.

I have noticed that quite a few of the High Street stores have also got these styles but do not offer bra size swimwear.

I am in my mid 30s and dont know whether this style is more suitable for someone younger than me

thanks

I'm a man but I have noticed that women come in all different shapes and sizes. What suits one woman does not necessarily suit the next.

I think you will need to give a bit more info on your figure and height etc. before anyone can give any meaningful advice.

Isn't Geri Halliwell in her mid thirties?

Can you post a pic of bikini bottoms. I don't know what you mean?

I think bandeau tops are fine for women with smaller breasts. I wouldn't wear one as I like more support.

Why don't you go and try one on, have a look in the mirror and see if you can make your mind up then?

I've got a few undies like that, but until I've done the 30 day shred will be sticking to one-piece. The key to looking good, is feeling good in yourself. If you feel confident now, wear it! Go on!

thanks for your replies, will be brave and go an see if they have them in my local Next tomorrow

i find the whole bikini thing horrendous and feel really self conscious for the first couple of days on holiday but then get to the stage where i couldnt care anymore

If you're that unconfident, why not buy a skimpy/sexy one-piece?

Lifes too short. Get a bikini on and strut it!!!!! Every other person will either be thinking: Cor, her legs are better than mine or he will be going phroar!!!

The only way is to try it on. I'd go for it.
