Would You Wear A Belted Swimsuit?
We totally get why Halle Berry wore a belt with her bikini almost ten years ago in Die Another Day, she needed to keep her knife close at hand, so the belt was purely for utility's sake. But what about us regular girls, the ones that don't swim with knives? Would you wear a belt with your bathing suit? If so would you opt for one you could go swimming in (like a suit from Marc by Marc Jacobs), or a belt that looks like it's made of deck-chairing only leather (like Lanvin's runway look)?

Would you try a belted suit, or accessorize your suit with one of your own?

The blue Lanvin suit is GORGEOUS! I really like this look, but it's not really practical to have one that's not waterproof - I'm a swimmer. | |
The swimsuits with the belt looks very nice and stylish...but realistically, when I go to the beach I would be in the water for at least half the time so I don't know how comfortable it will be swimming with a belt tied around my waist. Also, gotta make sure the belt is waterproof or will have to take it off when I go swim. It sounds like a lot of work to me... | |
I would wear a wide one to hold in whatever jiggle I haven't yet sweated off in the gym, but as a style statement alone? Probably not. |
