I picked up this month’s April issue of Glamour Magazine <\/a>filled with wonderful articles and came across this feature of the 10 Biggest Swimsuit FAILS,\u00a0 and wanted to\u00a0share in\u00a0a good laugh. I have to admit, I have done most of these myself.<\/h3>\n

1) DON\u2019T do the walking-advertisement bikini thing.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Not only does this lady look likes she\u2019s on the job for Corona, but she\u2019ll also inevitably be forced to defend herself against Jersey<\/em> Shore<\/em> look-alikes who might mistake her for their favorite beverage. MTV addicts, attempt this Swimsuit<\/strong><\/em><\/a> look at your own risk!<\/p>\n

2) DON\u2019T wear a swimsuit with a zillion and one strap.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0Sure, we\u2019ve all been tempted by the sexy, strap-ilicious one-piece <\/strong><\/em>swimsuit<\/strong><\/em>,<\/a> but be forewarned: A bathing suit like this one is going to leave you with a maze of trippy tan lines. Try matching those<\/em> with your cutest summer dresses<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

3) DON\u2019T go for a Cover-up<\/a><\/strong><\/em> that doesn\u2019t, you know, cover<\/em> you up.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Less isn\u2019t always more. These two lovely ladies have proved that theory multiple times over. When thinking of what to wear over your swimsuit<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, keep in mind the dress code of the nearest restaurant\u2014chances are, if you\u2019re spending a day in the sun, you\u2019ll get the munchies around high noon. (Hint: These two getups most definitely<\/em> won\u2019t fit in with the universal \u201cNo Shirt No Shoes No Service\u201d rule.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Bikini Don’t – Cover Ups that Don’t Cover Up!<\/p><\/div>\n

I am sure at some point; we have all been guilty of at least one of these Don\u2019ts. Take a look and see which one of these don\u2019ts you\u2019re guilty of?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

4) DON\u2019T adjust your bathing suit in public (unless you can keep it on the DL).<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Straps get untied while tanning,\u00a0String\u00a0bikini<\/strong><\/a> bottoms are woefully underprepared for water sports, and the ocean is a nasty monster when it comes to keeping the girls in place\u2014we get it. At the risk of sounding like your grandma (or some Emily Post lifeguard), might we suggest popping into the bathroom if you\u2019re having a serious swimsuit <\/a>wardrobe malfunction\u2014as X-rated contortions are rarely flattering.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Bikini Don’t – Too abvious Adjustment<\/p><\/div>\n

Honestly, I am not so sure about this one. Sorry, but if I am coming out of the water and my Bandeau top<\/strong><\/em><\/a> is around my waist, I am going to do what I need to get it in place as fast as I can. The same goes with my bottom.\u00a0The idea of strutting across the beach, walk into a bathroom then make an adjustment will most likely get me arrested for flashing or public nudity. Don\u2019t think so!<\/p>\n

\u00a05)\u00a0DON\u2019T wear a swimsuit that could double as lure-him-in lingerie.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Some looks are best kept inside<\/em> the bedroom. While your boyfriend might be appreciative, leave a little to the imagination by keeping the lingerie back at the hotel.<\/p>\n

Vegas anyone? Hey, I\u2019d wear one of these Lace Bikinis<\/a> in a heartbeat sitting at the Bellagio pool. I think it\u00a0depends on the location, situation,\u00a0and\u00a0mood I’m in, don’t you?<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n

6) DON\u2019T forget the sunscreen. Really. It\u2019s not worth it.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Ouch! Yes, we\u2019ve all been burnt before, but if you want to keep your skin soft and supple\u2014and wrinkle-free!\u2014you must, must, must slather on the sunscreen. You don\u2019t want to risk melanoma\u2014or having to uncomfortably shift in your seat 42 times during dinner later that evening.

7) DON\u2019T bring your super-high dancing shoes to the beach.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>In a word: impractical. Music-video vixens make it look easy, but there\u2019s no way you can walk on the beach in those high heels<\/a>. If it\u2019s glitz and glamour you crave, just bedazzle your flips-flops to keep things comfy, chic and sane<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Come on, ever been to South Beach? Platform High Heals is an accentual part of your Bikini wardrobe walking the Boardwalk. No, not my style and wonder whoever came up with it, why and what were they thinking but, South Beach wouldn\u2019t be the same without it! It\u2019s a girl opportunity to show it off like walking the Red Carpet. What else would you wear sandals or Flip Flops?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

8) DON\u2019T do an itty-bitty bikini<\/strong><\/em><\/a> bottom on a public beach.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>As a rule of thumb, the bottom of your bikini <\/a>should be thicker than the straps holding it together up top. Regardless of your shape or size, an X-rated swimsuit<\/a> like this is simply a no-no. (While we\u2019re at it, can we ban Speedos for men, too?)<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have a problem with young girls and women who are fit wearing one of these in public. Come on, if you got it, show it off, why go somewhere where no one’s looking. I just don\u2019t want to see this!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

9) DON\u2019T dress up for Halloween, three months early.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Tutu-accented skirts<\/a>, Betty Boop-esque getups, and other costumes are best left in the closet until October rolls around. \u2018Nuff said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

10) DON\u2019T buy a too-small swimsuit top.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>We know better than anyone how frustrating it is to find the<\/em> perfect swimsuit<\/a><\/strong><\/em> (have you seen our swimsuit style stories<\/a>?!), so trust us when we say a little extra time in the dressing room or cruising around online is totally<\/em> worth it. Look for a mix \u2018n\u2019 match bikini<\/a><\/em><\/strong> where you can buy the top<\/a><\/strong><\/em> and bottom<\/strong><\/em><\/a> in different sizes\u2014so you can get something that fits and flatters your cute figure to a T. (And if you\u2019re on the fence about a style, maybe even bounce up and down a bit to guarantee a flash-free fit, before you take your suit out for a spin.)<\/p>\n

I agree with most of their points but there are a few that I am not so sure of. Let me know what you think and let me know your worst bikini moment?<\/p>\n

Maybe your top decided to malfunction at the most inappropriate time or forget your sunscreen. Whatever it is, we want to hear about it, share it! ! Butterflies and Bikinis!\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
