Spring Break Swimsuit Guide: The Best Suits for Every Shape (OF COURSE there are pictures)

Fox News ^ | March 3, 2009 | Sabrina Newman

Spring break is coming up, which means it's time to invest in a sexy new swimsuit.

If you’re Jessica Alba, you can get away with just about anything. But if you’re not, we’ve got some great advice to make this year the best spring break beach experience ever.

Yes, going to the gym and toning up is important because swimsuits, by virtue of their form and function, tend to leave little to the imagination.

More important, however, is learning which swimsuits work best for your body type. Cuts, shapes, fabrics, prints can have a major impact on how your beach-bod looks, so it's important to be well informed before you buy so you get it right! No matter what your problem area, there's a style that's perfect for you.

Equal time for the Ladies!!!!!! Why are there pictures of Teddy Kennedy????? We need pictures of David Beckham!!!!! I do not know how to post pictures and I asked my Husband and he did not want to do it. The Emporio Armani Ad with David Beckham in his briefs, would work nicely. It is always tatas and bum parade with nothing for us Ladies to look at./Just Asking - seoul62......

My daughter goes to Lipscomb. She is thinnish. 5’3” 105 pounds

Her sorority sisters are overweight....at least 75% of them.

I just went thru Ole Miss this weekend and actually ate at Newks (southern Deli chain) and walked around campus (where I went)). The girls are heavier...not Wal Mart heavy but I’s say 10-15% thicker.

Myself and DC2000 went there in the 70s and the women were nearly all slender and fit and many were gorgeous. They are still pretty but just fatter.

And there is a lot of pressure there to look good. didn’t get the chance to review but I’d bet most Tri-Delts, KDs and Chi Omegas at Ole Miss are still fairly proportional...and often blonde...lol

I bet SMU in Dallas or University of Alabama, the schools most resembling Ole Miss demographics are similar today too.

Made love with a Chinese woman once.

An hour later I was horny again.

Given that Free Republic is not a Socialist site that pretends to enforce jackbooted 'equality' in every thread, there will naturally be some threads which appeal more to some than others.  The Fox News article which this thread is derived from is entirely and exclusively pertaining to ladies' swimsuits.  It's an article devoted to assisting ladies in selecting the proper suit for their body type, and FReeper men, being legendary for their kindness, benevolence and fashion sense to name but a few virtues, are of course delighted to assist in this worthy cause.  Nowhere in the article are men's suits addressed.  Therefore, it's to be expected that the responding posts in this thread are also addressing the essential topic of ladies' swimsuits.

That being said, Free Republic, being an equal-opportunity Capitalist-oriented site, offers you an equal opportunity to create your own thread pertaining to men's swimsuits if you so desire.

Thank you and all noted./Just Asking - seoul62......

Any tech savvy FReeper want to turn those 12 pictures (4 across x 3 down)into a nice wallpaper picture?

I'm torn between thinking that that's more information than I needed to know, but also thinking that that's a very interesting observation.

Hmmm...

Ok...you asked for it...kinda....here are some handsome Korean muscles, courtesy of Bae Yong Joon.

[seoul62]

Very nice, thank you. Other honorable mentions: Mark Dacascos-*(did you see his performance as the character: Mani in the movie-*( Brotherhood of the Wolf? He could stop traffic with that face and body)*, Russell Wong and Dhani Jones./Just Asking - seoul62.

[Tamar1973]

I’ve only seen Mark Dacascos on Iron Chef America, IIRC. He is quite nimble, although a little thin for my taste. I prefer Russel Wong is a stronger presence.

Dhani Jones certainly has the body of a true athelete but I don’t have cable TV and I don’t follow sports so I had to google him to find out about him.

[seoul62]

I find male beauty in every nationality./Just Asking - seoul62......

[MarkT]

Me, please.

[Travis T. OJustice]

OH YEAH!

[Redcitizen]

So not guilty!! Court has been adjourned!

[rmlew]

I think my gay coworker just went straight looking at that set.

[rmlew]

Stop showing off. You've got a pretty wife and daughter.
Actually, your daughter looks like she'd age well. I'd be happy to escort her around town as would many other NY freepers.

"5’3” 105 pounds"

She and I could share clothes but, at my age, I would look ridiculous! ;o)

Sorry to hear that the girls are hefting up.
Bet they are still prettier than most, though.

[Hot Tabasco]

Come on, show me some fat women! Real, real FAT women! Fat enough that they’ll suffocate me!
