A popular family holiday resort in United Kingdom is now taking a more conservative stance when it comes to proper swimwear attire.

According to reports, the Alton Towers Resort will no longer allow men to wear skimpy swimwear such as Speedo in their premises in a bid to prevent embarrassment among other patrons of the holiday destination.
Some popular celebrities such as Ronaldo and Rod Stewart were seen in the resort in the past wearing these skimpy underwear but the times have changed.

The resort officials stated that it is now focusing on maintaining a family-friendly atmosphere which means that children can easily go around with parents no longer worrying if they get to see men wearing next to nothing.

Alton Towers Sales and Marketing Director Morwenna Angove said that it has been noticed that there’s an influx of men wearing skimpy swimwear in the past few years which prompted their Waterpark team to do something about the situation and the growing complaints among parents.

She suggested that at this point, men should start wearing more conservative swimwear such as shorts or board shorts before taking a plunge in the resort’s pools.

Former “Baywatch” star Pamela Anderson is one of the stars that will grace the New Zealand fashion week this coming September. As expected, this sexy mom will strut the catwalk in skimpy swimwear for the delight of the male audience.

The organizers revealed that Anderson will be using her own swimwear line during the event. The swimwear line is a collaboration between Anderson and friend Richie Rich. In order to keep up with pro-animal and vegetarian beliefs, the products are said to be eco-friendly and animal-friendly.

Despite this highly-anticipated appearance, Anderson’s publicist Brian Long is wondering whether the Kiwis are ready to see a celebrity in a skimpy swimwear considering that they are known to be a bit more conservative than others. He added that the swimwear might surprise some conservative individuals in the country.

He stressed afterwards that the eco-friendly theme of the line may still win the Kiwis over.

Other fashion lines that will be featured at the Fashion Week are from Kate Sylvester, Karen Walker, Zambesi and Trelise Cooper. Fashion designers from Australia such as House of EXIS and United Constructions are also expected to participate in the event.

There are an increasing number of women who prefer wearing less revealing swimwear. Some say that they prefer modest swimwear due to religious reasons while some say that they just don’t feel comfortable revealing “too much.”

This unexpected need for modest swimwear prompted two French-born Orthodox Jews to design a line called Sea Secret. The undertaking started a year ago in Israel and the designers have consulted with a respected rabbi in order for the products to meet the standard dress code.

The popularity of modest swimwear is gaining worldwide. According to reports, there are new lines flourishing in Australia, Middle East, Asia and even in United States.
Online blogs and journals have started featuring these modest swimwear to its readers thus increasing awareness of the product through viral marketing.

Major companies have started joining the bandwagon. British swimwear giant Speedo has started selling a long-legged swimwear plus neck-covering for a little over a hundred dollars on its website.

Despite the emergence of new players in the field, Sea Secret owners revealed that their sales are still up and that they will still continue designing modest swimwear for modest women everywhere.

The summer is near and that’s the best time to relax and spend quality time at the beach. Bikini season is definitely here but who says it’s only for those with model-like bodies?

Experts say that every woman can be part of the season. All they need is confidence! It doesn’t hurt to eat some healthy food to feel good and look good during the sunny season. Here are some advices given by the experts:

• Self-acceptance: Wear a bikini and stand in front of a mirror and check yourself out. Focus on your good features and accept your flaws. No one’s perfect. If you focus more on enjoying life, then you’ll feel really good.

• Eat vegetables and fruits: It aids in losing weight but the most important reason behind this is for you not to feel bloated when you wear your bikini. Aside from that, fruits and vegetables prevent body dehydration especially when you are under the heat of the summer sun.

• Size is just a number: Know and understand the shape and size of your body. Go for a bikini in your size. If your a big boobed girl choose freya or panache. They are made for curved bodies. This builds self-esteem.

International Swimming Federation or FINA has reportedly rejected about ten advanced men’s swimwear proposed for use in upcoming swimming competitions. Australian coach Alan Thompson said on Wednesday that this development would mean difficulty in upholding the new world records set by two swimmers from France.

The ruling body made the decision to reject the men’s swimwear on Tuesday. Included in the ban are swimwear made from polyurethane, the same material worn by French swimmers Alain Bernard and Fred Bousquet. The two swimmers set world records during a competition in Montpellier in France last month.

Bousquet and Bernard used an Arena “X-Glide” swimwear that propelled them to set 50 meters and 100 meters world records respectively. The previous record holder was Eamon Sullivan of Australia.

However, with the decision at hand, it’s highly possible that the new records will be voided as FINA recognized that the swimwear technology aided the players’ wins and not solely by athlete’s achievement.

The men’s swimwear can still be approved if necessary alterations will be made subject to the approval by FINA. In July, the Rome World Championships will take place and the swimsuits can be used if the stamp of approval has been made.

Due to the credit crunch consumers are spending less. We can already see the impact on the high street shops. But what is the impact on sales of products like swimwear? A report is published about the swimwear market in 2014. The report looks at technology, style and shapes, brands and labels.

The clothing industry is suffering from the effects of the credit crunch for a while now. This also means that the swimwear growth will decrease from 5.32% to 1.69% between 2008 and 2014. And if the situation gets that bad, it will affect the huge amount of present brands.

Brands dominate 60 to 70 percent of the value in western country markets. That equals between 38 to 43 percent of the units. The sales is dominated by a few specialist businesses, like Victoria’s Secret in America and Marks and Spencer in Great Britain.

Some other conclusions:

• Due to the aging population in the western countries, the style of swimwear will be influenced as swimming is slowly being accepted as a relaxing leisure time
• The older woman will cause the popularity of figure supporting swimwear
• Younger people will start wearing swimwear outside the pool and beach
• Retail sales in traditional shop will be surpassed by Internet swimwear  sales
