Heading off on holiday soon?
Before you go shopping for that perfect swimwear, you might want to take a look at this Epic fail bathing suits Pinterest board.
It contains a few lessons in the perilous art of dressing for the beach.

1. Beware of horizontal stripes. Vertical is always more flattering.
