No Fashion Police For These String Bikini Girls

Perhaps on Malibu or Sunset Beach in California the string bikini fashion police are on red alert for girls with less than perfect silhouettes, but last weekend on the beaches of the Costa Tropical in southern Spain the freedom of string bikini girls was in full swing with no fashion or body critics in sight.

Living and Loving Bare Skin

The Mediterranean scene, at least on the beaches of small Spanish towns, isn’t about showy bathing suite strutting or pretense, but about the most unlikely string bikini girls, from ages 10 to 50, basking in the sun and bathing in Mediterranean waters, oblivious to rolls of abdominal flab, almost unconscious of large breasts bursting from skimpy tops and unworried about the size of hips. And those with almost no breasts remain seemingly unconcerned about pushups or under-wires to accentuate their deficient bosoms. From grandmothers in bright yellow bikinis, showing less than perfect bellies, and mature women in floral print tankini bottoms (who saw no need to wear the tops), to little girls in ruffled ensembles splashing their friends with salty water and tumbling in the sand – that’s what being genuine string bikini girls is all about – uninhibited living; loving the sun on bare skin; covering what’s essential to be comfortable themselves. And how do the men react? They spread towels on the sand, spray tanning lotion on their bikini girls’ backs, rub their shoulders and exposed thighs, no matter how large or small or how flabby or toned, and then sip sangria or red wine, tend to their beach barbeques; expose their own naked bellies to the sun and enjoy. It’s a Sunday. It’s not about fashion or picking up a string bikini babe, it’s not about the sexiest tankini bandeau top or form fitting bikini bottom. It’s about bare toes in the sand, legs (this or muscular) and backs and butts (cellulite riddled or perfectly formed) exposed to the sun and air; about salty sea water dripping from eyelashes and noses; about good food, good wine, and simple pleasures.

What About Tankini Swimwear?

Funny thing about the more modest tankini swimsuit styles that have become very popular of late. Along the Spanish coast, although you’d expect it to be the older ladies, and less shapely gals, who sport them, it seems to be the younger girls who make more use of this attire. Perhaps it takes years and age to be comfortable enough to need less coverage because, oddly enough, it’s the ladies (who could go naked and be delightful eye candy) who use more forms of cover-ups and modest swimwear, like the tankini tops and full coverage bottoms, to conceal themselves.
