Inappropriate Beach Attire

When my wife and I travel to sunny destinations, we like to take lots of pictures. Unfortunately, that means that sometimes we catch people in the background of our shots who should be on the beach version of "What not to Wear". As painful as they sometimes are to our retinas, we also get a good laugh out of it.

Below are actual pictures from some of our travels, with everything cropped out of the picture except the subject matter at hand.





First of all, why, in this day and age, are men still wearing the “banana hammock”? It’s mostly European men, and I suppose things are different in Europe. But seriously… Nobody wants to see that.












Here is a man waiting -inside- the hotel lobby in the checkout line, letting it all hang out. How classy.












The thong. OK, they look great in rap videos or “Girls Gone Wild” commercials, but why wear them at family vacation spots, especially when you don’t have a thong-appropriate body like this lady?













Here’s a banana hammock and bad thong combo having a leisurely stroll together. What a happy couple.






Now don't get me wrong; I do like thongs... when they are on the right kind of body. But here's the thing- although they won’t get many complaints from the guys in the area, should they really be showing off the “shanks” to the little kiddies at poolside? This would be OK at an all adult resort, or whatever.





And this one… it looks like it’s gonna fall off any second… Somebody get some duct tape. It's kind of distracting when you're sitting there waiting for an accident to happen.
