'Modest' swimwear back in style in U.S.

Some serious health club workouts for a few months would encourage skimpier swimsuit wearing, I warrant. Worked for me.

The same in japan.go to any jusco..all suits hide the womens curves.very boring

Let's get serious - the largest group of Americans is the Baby Boomers and that group could really use some more modest clothing. Ladies in their sixties, despite having come of age in the sixties (best period of cultural history, no question) are less willing to show off the saggy flesh of today than they were to show off the - well, great flesh of then. As for men - well, I'm not particularly eager to flash my extended belly nor my bandy old man's legs to the world, either.

I think that it is the fashion industry trying to make woman part with their money. That is why clothe¥ing styles change every 3 months.****

They might as well be wearing wet suits. Looks like the same thing.

Next up, stripey coms for men, waxed 'taches and a straw boater perched at a jaunty angle for those gentlemen strutting their stuff on the beach.

“I see a lot of women who would never walk around in their undergarments and then do just that on the beach! It is crazy,”

I've seen women walk around with nothing on, in the bedroom and at the beach. Crazy? No, they seemed quite sane to me. It was I that experienced other than normal pulse rate, thought processes etc.

Ladies may be getting tired of waxing.

“There are a lot of women who need to wear one, including myself,”

Confusing "needs" and "wants", I reckon.

This is a religious thing with these suits. There are plenty of more normal-ish swimsuits available pretty much anywhere in the US if people want something less skimpy because they are fat or old. Walmart sells them big enough to stuff an entire day care full of children into one suit.

Hahaha, if they have it, who wouldn't want to be ogled?

This sucks! And where are all the bare midriffs??? There're supposed to be bare midriffs now...

... and in fact according to what I recall, God got pissed off at Eve/Adam for trying to 'hide' ? ? Hmmmmm

I thought Adam and Eve were born naked ?

Something tells me this isn't just a matter of religious dummies, but the obesity of 'Merkins.
