Topless bikini????
 

I was browsing through the bathing suits at VictoriasSecret.com and I came across the "topless bikini". This is honestly one of the most bizarre, and slightly hilarious things I've ever come across.

Who buys a bathing suit like this? And, more importantly, where? I guess, a nude beach, but then, why not just go all the way?

I'm not sure my sensibilities are offended or if I admire the chaputz of anyone who'd wear a bathing suite like this.

ROFL! That's hilarious! I wouldn't have believed it unless I had clicked on the link.

Even if I had that model's body, I wouldn't have the guts to wear that thing. I'd always be looking down wondering if my boobs looked funny.

hahahahahaha! My sister works there, I'm going to make fun of her for this simply because I can :)

the first image that came to mind was that scene in "Borat" where he wears that terrible speedo...
Did you notice it was 68 bucks? You'd get more fabric from a hair scrunchie.

Wait........what? hahaha. I don't care how skinny I get, I couldn't wear that. I think it would almost be better to just be naked. lmao

I saw that and thought it must have been in style, and was scared! Glad to see it's not, haha!

I wouldn't want that model's body...and the suit is just silly!

lmao 1st of all ... that poor model has ZERO boobs to begin with. :rolleyes: Why not at least have a model with some kinda boobs, model for a 'topless' bikini lol stupid on their part.

2nd ... I would say this is more for peeps who go to nude beaches. And if that's the case, why wear anything at all?? lol :dunno:

edited to give chicka a slice of pizza! lol - looks like she needs it :jeno: :jeno: :jeno: :jeno:

Imagine the tan line. Not a good idea.

Haha... I don't get it either. If you go to a nude beach and don't want to show it "all" just wear bottoms!

My DH would say that the model in the ad needs to eat a sandwich.. haha. He likes girls with curves.. good thing for me. LOL

Maybe their thought was 'topless' bikini = 'topless' model lol. But then most runway models would fall into the 'topless' category.

What weird tan lines...

I agree -- nude beach just go nekkid or wear the bottoms.

But for me, I stick to racerback Speedos for laps in the pool. I'm not much of a sunbather.

A.

Lol. That is funny. It does come with a bandeau top too as a second piece though, so if worn that way it is no different than a bikini.

my first thought was....

isn't that just some sort of marketing strategy to sell bikini bottoms as something "new"

but then after i clicked on it, i realized i guess it's just some sort of new style of revamping the old school bottoms.

wow, that's ummmmm, different. the suit with the bandeau top is kinda cute although I wonder what the back looks like, the description said the back was minimal so it's probably a thong. Without the top the tan lines would be really weird.

LMFAO!!! Hilarious!

While not necessarily useful in the U.S., there are plenty of topless beaches in popular tourist destinations. You can't go totally nude--they basically just allow women the same right to go topless as men have at beaches.

Maybe b/c you wouldn't want sunburn in your nether regions?

:) I'd never go there...If I was going to a nude beach, I'd just wear bottoms. I mean...really...

That's the most ridiculous suit I've ever seen. I wonder how many people have actually bought that?

that was just weird looking. horrible tan lines & minimal back coverage? i'll pass!

That thing is hideous, however, I do think that VS has some super cute suits!

Most Victoria's Secret suits are VERY cute. And I love that you can buy the tops in bra sizes not just "S M L XL." I guess the only real applicable place for this suit would be a topless beach... So, if anyone feels like baring almost all on their next Euro vacation...?

And the suit with the bandau top isn't bad, but they have lots of other "monokinis" that are similar without removable boob coverage. Maybe so you can transition from normal beach to topless beach with ease?

Also, Victoria's Secret makes the bulk of their money selling clothing items that are, ah, for private viewing only ;) I doubt I'd ever have the guts to go to a topless beach even if I was in France or Canada, but if I had a boyfriend with a pool or hot tub I might consider something like that.

And Google search tells me there are actually small topless beach areas in San Diego and South Beach. So, technically one wouldn't even have to vacation out of country.

I would imagine that suit would just be uncomfortable...but maybe that's just me. i mean....that string...I can only imagine it would feel weird to have that between your boobs. lol.

That's just ridiculous. If I was going to a topless beach, I'd just wear bottoms.

>.<

:rofl: Too funny.

I wouldn't have believed this either if I hadn't clicked the link. What an odd "swimsuit".

For some reason I really like it with the bandeau top. Of course I wouldn't wear it unless, like someone else mentioned, I was hanging out in a hot tub with my husband.

Oh darn! I don't have the hair to buy that suit! I would need it to get covered up all the way!

hahaha! Amazingly, a lot of the stuff online is definitely not what we sell in stores. If a customer came in and asked for that, I would have looked at them like they were insane.

LOL, I don't think it looks great on any body. Something about that long skinny bit makes me think there's a front wedgie going on even if there isn't. Just a weird shape.

That's what I would do.

:rofl:

Topless beaches in Europe...I was in Sardinia ( an island off the coast of Italy) last summer and all small girls 0-7ish and probably 18 and above sunbathed topless.

i reminds me of what Cora Corman wore in that concert in Music and Lyrics xD

This cracks me up! As others have said, even with the "perfect" body, I wouldn't wear this without HEFTY payment! lol Talk about leaving nothing to the imagination...goodness!

Its not the revealing part that bothers me so much as I think its really ugly and would be pretty unflattering on most people. IMO, its not even that flattering on the (airbrushed) model.

Well, now there's a right of passage :o

I just don't think the cut of it is very flattering. If I wanted to go topless I'd rather just wear traditional bikini bottoms. That said, I have been topless on a beach. Alexandria Beach in Noosa National Park (see avatar) is clothing optional. I was honestly MUCH more nervous about people seeing my belly than my boobs. Then my roommate snapped at me to stop being so American :lol:

Ew...I wouldnt feel comfortable wearing that ever..I think the line between your boobs would feel weird.

Yeah. If I was going to go to a nude beach, I'd go topless and just wear normal bikini bottoms. I wouldn't wear the weird "boob thong".

:lol:
