Oldie but Goldie: a plea for the swimming costume

How I came back to the one-piece out of necessity and why I no longer want to do without this summer trend.
First published on 22 June 2018I remember exactly how proud I was when I got my first bikini as a teenager. I felt incredibly grown up back then. I would never have even begun to think that one day I would voluntarily give it up again. In my eyes, a swimming costume was only for grannies and toddlers. Far from it!
Last year, I was proved wrong. The reason: I wanted to wear a backless dress for my wedding in late summer. The dilemma: How do I get through the summer without bikini tan lines on my back and without giving up sunbathing?
My best friend had the brilliant idea: I needed a swimming costume with a low-cut back. I hesitated because of my stupid prejudices, but I didn't think it was such a bad idea. Unlike my partner, who was reluctant to accept my new swimming outfit. I, on the other hand, couldn't get enough of it. On the contrary: I now own five different models that I wouldn't want to be without. At last, nothing slips when I plunge into the cool water.

3 reasons in favour of a swimming costume:
Trickery allowed: The one-piece not only stretches, but also cheats away small fat pads. Depending on the leg cut-out, your stilts will look endlessly long.
Practical: Going to a bar after swimming? No problem! A swimming costume can also be worn as a top, just like a bodysuit. Just throw on a pair of denim shorts and your trendy look is complete.
Striptease: I finally cut a good figure in the Unterer Letten lido. Because swimming in the "rake" is quite a challenge due to the strong current. With a bikini, it can sometimes happen that you emerge topless.
These cuts are anything but staid...

Let's take a deep look
Now you have to be strong. If you have a lot of wood in front of your hut, you have to say goodbye to this model. The risk of unintentionally showing too much skin is definitely too great. [[product:13190671,9355317,10261929]]
Cut through? Not at all!
Cut-outs are a type of deliberate "cut-out" on the swimming costume, preferably at the back, décolleté or waist. If you tend to have love handles, you should steer clear of the latter. [[product:12661494,8942582,12598892]]
