And there was much rejoicing.
It may still only be spring, but summer is right around the corner, and that means everybody’s favorite summer activity is coming: Slipping into swimwear and getting wet and wild!
One Japanese fashion company’s summer lineup skirts the line between swimsuit and undergarments like never before. Yume Tenbo, a maker of women’s apparel, recently released their Dear My Love collection, a set of four swimsuits based off lingerie and camisole designs.
▼ Now you really can wear your underwear to the pool!
Or…you can wear your swimsuit to bed too, I guess, if that’s what you’re into.
Each set costs 5,900 yen (US$53) and comes in medium and large sizes. The pieces are meant to make the wearer “feel like a princess from a fairy tale who will be beautiful and loved forever.”
Do the swimsuits accomplish that goal? We’ll leave you with some more samples to decide for yourself. For, uh, science.
▼ Here’s the flower corsage bikini. (Awesome hat unfortunately not included.)
▼ The “babydoll” camisole bikini, for when you’re having a sleepover
at the beach and only have room for one change of clothes.
▼ The lace frill “lolita” bikini, complete with ribbons and heart-shaped buttons,
to show the world how ready for summer/slumber you are.
▼ And finally the cherry and strawberry cream one piece,
for those who gravitate toward the more fruity things in life.
Suddenly feeling interested in getting an underwear-inspired bathing suit for yourself? They’re all currently available for preorder at Yume Tenbo’s website and would make a perfect summer gift for your sweetheart, significant other, or uh, other special friend.
Don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone if you buy one for your life-sized Evangelion figure or monster-size Totoro plushie. You just do you, friend. You just do you.
