Why women should wear bikinis no matter their age or shape
IF you think you should hide your body this summer - think again!
Fabulous Magazine’s Fashion Director, has
Times have changed since 2015 when Protein World spent £250,000 on an ad campaign of a slim 20-something bikini clad model asking the reader “Are you beach body ready?” The uproar that followed about the objectification of women was global. Branded offensive, irresponsible and harmful, the verdict on the campaign and the social media uproar was well documented, and rightly so.
Now, I am happy to say that all sizes of women are represented in swimwear across the media landscape. Brands like JD Williams, In The Style and New Look, to name just a few, all work with models of all sizes and ages to promote their swimwear.
My social media feed is also full of ladies of all ages and sizes looking Fabulous in their swimmies. What started out as a trickle of shy bikini-clad selfies has now become a body-positive movement that makes us all feel good to get into our swimwear.
And why shouldn’t we! Our bodies are all completely different and we should be celebrating that fact.
At 53, I love bikinis, I love having an all over tan in the summer with as few white bits as possible. I don’t want to dumb myself down as I get older, I want to celebrate that I am still here! My aim is to keep on wearing bikinis well into my 80s if I am lucky enough to get there.
I have learnt to love the aging process. I will never look like I did in my 20s again, but I do enjoy looking after myself way more than I did back then. A better diet, more exercise and a lot of self-care makes me feel good on the inside as well as the outside.
I love that other cultures like to celebrate their elders. I think we should embrace this in western society instead of just fetishizing youth.
Aging isn’t something to be feared but embraced.
Wear the damn bikini, I am going to!
Alongside a love heart eye , a third commented: “Bikini all day long.”
Whilst someone else gushed: “ for sure.”
Not only this, but another of Sue’s admirers beamed: “You’re a goal.”
