“Many times there is a clear divide between the fashion world and the real world, and this is clearly one of those instances,” said Brandon Wade, CEO and founder of MissTravel.com. “Men love to see a woman’s body, and this style covers up some of the most attractive parts of their anatomy.”

Fashion is fun and there is no harm in trying out new styles, but those who are looking for a bit of summer lovin’ might want to avoid this trend.
