Look Ma! No Tan Lines!

Bikini Without Tan Lines

A bikini that doesn’t give tan marks?

What so many people have (so surprisingly) missed in the latest J. Crew catalogue is the ingenious addition of items # 39916/39917, a charming little bikini that purports to circumvent the whole issue of tan lines.

Meaning: the ability to attain that all-over Ban de Soleil tan without offending Giuliani.

Meaning: the necessity to apply sunblock in all those hard to reach places.

Meaning: the boys’ version is sure to follow.

(And, a note: before all you male subscribers decide that DailyCandy is some drippy chick site because this is a “girlie” item, think about it. You’re likely to appreciate this stride in bathing suit technology too.)
