Like Proust with his madeleine, swimsuits are often portals to our past. Kate Guadagnino, deputy digital editor at T magazine, said, “The ideal, I think, is for my regard for my suit - and for myself in it - to outweigh whatever self-consciousness might linger from my teenage years.” We want our bathing suits to satisfy us functionally, and maybe more important, emotionally. Though she wanted to be “one of those women at the beach in a two-piece, bump grandly and a little subversively protruding out in the sun,” early on in her pregnancy, she was put on medication that prevents blood-clotting, a daily injection that left her stomach so bruised that the two-piece wouldn’t work. I’m comfortable in my own skin.” Yet she hasn’t found anything she likes enough to replace the shapeless one-piece she’s been wearing for the last five years.Įmily Weinstein, editor of Food & Cooking, told me that her favorite bathing suit was one she wore while pregnant. Wearing a bathing suit isn’t a fraught issue for me. I’ve broken bones and I have the beat-up, slightly lumpy body to prove it. “I’m almost 60,” said Tina Jordan, deputy editor of the Book Review. Once you find a suit you like, it’s hard to let go. “So many places sell mostly bikinis or tankinis with ridiculously revealing cuts and too little support that it seems like manufacturers think that the swimsuit-wearing population is only prepubescent girls.” Pui-Wing Tam, deputy business editor, bemoaned the online-shopping minefield. “There are deal-breakers and non-negotiables: It must have a flattering cut, provide enough tension to uphold the bust and not result in weird tan lines.” “The perfect bathing suit is much like the perfect relationship: Trust is essential,” said Dodai Stewart, Metro writer at large. Several of my colleagues at The Times share this lament. I wish I could say this was unusual, but I find myself in this position every summer around the Fourth of July: still in need of a thing to wear in various waters, irrationally unhappy with all available options. If you’re like many people I know, stupefied by the bounty of bathing suit options and paralyzed by complex emotions and low-key dread, you may not yet have managed to find a solution. Rather than lizarding out on lakeside rocks or splashing in the surf, you’re more likely to be preoccupied with your appearance. But if your bathing suit isn’t what you want it to be, you’ll be focusing instead on your body, and what’s showing - and to whom. So I know I can't get in trouble for indecent exposure.Summer has the potential for relaxation and freedom, and swimming is one of the purest distillations of those things. I do not "tuck" and the suits I own hold everything in place even for me, being larger then average it shows no more then what a regular men's brief would show.

I also really like that my backside fills out the bottoms quite nicely aswell. I also have very fit legs and I really like showing them off so I like the that they are a little bit higher cut around the legs vs a water polo brief which fit low at the hips with regular brief cut. They also cover more of the body so I consider them to be a bit more conservative (I guess is the word) then wearing a water polo or swim brief. I personally I find them a lot more comfortable to wear I do honestly feel I'm more attractive in them as well as more masculine. The reason why I ask is because I own a few and have worn them in private but I now want to wear them in public. What do you lady's think about guys wearing a one piece suit out in public? Would you find it acceptable? Would it gross you out? Or would you find it more attractive? What kind of body type do you believe a guy should have to wear one? All this and anymore advice you lady's have on this topic would be awesome. Not monkinis scrunch bottom cuts or anything exotic like that.

I'm also talking about a full coverage suit like women's water polo or full back racer suit. I also am mostly waxed on my arms legs bikini line and my chest is kept very very short and neat.

Before I continue I want to point out that I am a swimmer and a water polo player at my JC so I'm used to wearing swim briefs and I'm fairly fit.
