Default Swimwear colors

Are you particular in selecting swimsuit colors and prints?
When I started wearing Rio style and smaller, I was always conscious to select masculine colors such as blues, black, turquoise and prints such as geometric shapes and patterns. I avoided pinks and floral designs.
This was due to the real or imagined stigma that florals and pinks were too feminine. Now I find those are some of my favorites.

I like to wear anything from solid colors to bright prints. Mostly wear rio bikinis or thongs on the beach

I currently only have solid colours though have toyed with the idea of florals. Always imagined my old aunt making me a tiny bikini out of left over dress material and wearing it infront of her. Those look great on you btw.

Default Prints = camouflage

Thanks. I like my suits small with a pouch front. I think prints break up the outline. Then again, sometimes the pattern can be a focal point.

yes indeed. the more complex the print will get people looking and if the suit is tiny then the bulge will be more in focus.

I usually stick mostly with solid colors, not too bright although I've tried a few that attract a bit more attention.

I started wearing women's bikini bottoms specifically for the selection of prints. I love feminine florals and colors, and they do tend to show less anatomy than solids do.

Default If you like prints

If you like prints, check out BeachnDance. I have never found a better selection. I have many of their microsuits and thongs. I have read complaints about customer service but I have never had an issue.

Red face red!

I love red the most - nice with contrast side panel/ stripes. It feels erotic and the bright colour doesn't hide the bulge as compared to darker colours. And it draws a lot of attention at pool sides... inside the changing room also of course!

When I did the colour of the month challenge a couple of years ago the only colour I had difficulty with was pink. Some of my white, yellow and ice blue suits are too see through when wet to wear in a public pool, neither are some of my bikini briefs and thongs suitable for public display, but there are always quiet beaches to wear them on.

Pink is a statement, it says either you are camp or are so macho that you don't care if you wear something camp. It's easier to swim naked than to be seen wearing pink swim briefs.

My favourite swim brief turned out to be yellow Arena Santa Maria's, bright yet comfortable to wear anywhere yet last well in chlorinated or salt water.

Once we are over covid and the pools are open normally should I rerun the speedos colour of the month challenge?
