Of course he SHOULD say you look great in whatever you wear. But, what is really inside your guy’s brain?
Most importantly you should pick a swimsuit that flatters your body, and go from there. If your guy likes a full booty and you are flat as a pancake back there, you may want to forgo the thong bikini to save yourself the humiliation. If your guy likes a fuller bust, try a plunging neckline or possibly a push-up.
Full Exposure:
If your guy likes the whole package, why not flaunt one of these sexy swimsuits on the beach? When Marie Claire asked 1000 random guys what they thought of this barely-there ensemble 74% enjoyed the style. Only 26% of men thought that much exposure was better reserved for the bedroom.

The Classic 2-piece:
This swimsuit has a little more substance than the string-bikini, but still showcases ALL of your assets. It’s also a great way to showcase your savvy sense of style with different styles and shapes to choose from. When surveyed 93% of men approved of this option while only 7% were opposed.

The Bandeau Top:
(My personal least favorite)
Men seem to like this simple strapless 2-piece ensemble. 89% of men were pro no straps while only 11% weren’t impressed. Honestly, I am not impressed with this style either. I think it does nothing for large and small chested women alike and somewhat risky as far as a nip-slip.
Limited Exposure:
The Notorious Monokini:
This stylish hybrid swimsuit is guaranteed to cause awkward tan lines, but makes a big statement. It is the ideal suit if you want to show off but have a little tummy. The suit to choose how much skin to show ( with more full coverage options and some resembling the string bikini).
Tankini:
The Tankini is a toss-up between men 53% percent like the look while 47% weren’t so fond of it. This suit gives you the coverage of a one-piece with the look and versatility ( the option to mix and match tops and bottoms) of a 2-piece.
The One-Piece:
The majority of men prefer this more modest look with a surprising 65% of men while 35% preferred to see a little more skin. This is my personal favorite for two reasons:
1. When I go to the pool/beach I actually enjoy swimming and being active.
2. With the right cut you can look super sexy while still leaving some things up to the imagination.
The Retro:
These come in two different options. There are 2-piece or 1-piece choices. I also like these from a fashion aspect, but this was the men’s least favorite with only 21% impressed by this style and 79% who felt this style was too modest.
Picking the best swimsuit that makes you feel sexy and confident should be your priority. Like I said in my last blog, confidence is attractive.
