Oh no it’s worse than a Speedo!
Is American Apparel clothing even supposed to be flattering? It’s sheared ill-finished jersey at exorbitant prices. I was born in the 70s so I witnessed and even wore the unfortunate nylon short shorts (While roller skating to “Freeze Frame” mind you!) They were ugly then and they are still ugly today. Lamé hot pants?! No thanks!
Now AA offers weird-looking bathing suits too!
This style looks like a bad out-take from a 1982 Sears catalog. Here’s what someone has to say about this style: “a drawstring could come in handy, especially when diving in the pool.” Another: “If you wear these for anything other than lounging (LIKE swimming..) don’t buy this… after a few times swimming, the front nylon fabric gets very distressed and saggy, it’s really not worth 30.00″. I appreciate how American Apparel has unflattering clothing AND comments on their site.
I used to think the AA ads looked artistically unkempt but people who wear that stuff actually look like that! A friend lives above an AA store and I must admit I adored the in-shop ‘Old Jewish Retirees in the Pool’ photo campaign from last winter. If I want more I guess I can always visit my mom in Centennial Village, Florida.
