Jesus_lol Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) You are under no obligation to dress modest to suit the "needs" of overly sexually repressed people who become aroused at the sight of a shapely pear, or when a gust of summer wind passes them. Dress how you feel is right, according to how modest you think you should be. Believe me, there will always be some weirdo who "cant help himself" from ogling, whether you are in a tankini or a parka. Jesus left it up to them to police their own lust, you are not responsible. tl:dr, tankinis and bikini bottoms/boyshorts look really good without showing too much. Haters gonna hate.

Papist Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 “politeness … is everywhere understood and nowhere defined.†G.K. Chesterton Similar can be said for modesty.
Groo the Wanderer Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 i think all people over 350 pounds are obligated to wear speedos
TheoGrad07 Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 [quote name='MissScripture' timestamp='1338169370' post='2436051'] Um, have you looked at most women's swimsuits? Most of the bottoms are like that... And you can get different bottoms, like a skirt or board shorts. In that regard, tankinis are way better than one pieces, because you can mix and match. [/quote] Yay for tankinis! LandsEnd has some cute options -- last season I managed to get a cute skirted bottom & sports tank top that satisfied my husband's modesty requirement. Although I'm not particularly tall, I went with the "tall" option because the skirt is longer, and I feel comfortable spending a day in this suit.

Odin Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 But I don't think it's necessarily evil since it is not your intent especially.
