Euro Bikini Girls 033

Types

In an indoor pool, bathers will typically wear lycra briefs (men) or lycra one-piece tanksuits (women). On a beach, especially an urban beach, however, something more substantial is preferred by most. For men, this may consist of beach shorts that are long enough to come down almost to the knees, and sometimes beyond; on an urban beach, men will often wear beach shorts, which look like regular outerwear, but are made of non-absorbent, fast-drying fabrics. Dark colors, such as black, blend well with warm-weather business attire, and can also dry quickly in the sun, since dark color absorbs light. Women's beachwear often consist of a pair of shorts and a tank top.

Nowadays, however, beachwear is becoming more and more like swimwear, i.e. trunks for men and bikini for women, and may be worn elsewhere too.
