What Men Really Think About Your Bikini

                                                                              

One of the most popular swimwear styles on the market happens to be the one with the least amount of fabric. But what do men really think of the skimpy suit? 74 percent were fans of the triangles-and-string ensemble, while 26 percent thought it looked too revealing and left little to the imagination.

Women wanting to make a statement on the beach may opt for the Monokini — a one-piece suit in which the sides are completely cut out, giving the appearance of a bikini, with the top and bottom sections connected by a thin strip of material. Only 22 percent liked the look. The most common response of the 78 percent who hated it?

Few women sport one-pieces despite the traditional swimwear's resurgence on the runway and despite the fact that the majority of men like them. In fact, 65 percent prefer the look, as opposed to only 35 percent who don't. The only rule?  Men said they like the style as long as it's still sexy and doesn't look like the woman is trying out for the Olympic swim team.

Vintage-inspired bathing suits have been quite the comeback in recent summers. One-piece bombshell suits and high waisted two-pieces allow women to show off their curves while still remaining more than a bit demure. Of course, demure is not a look most men have come to expect poolside, so only 21 percent gravitate to this '50s-era style. The rest, 79 percent of guys, want to see more skin.
