Before I write the pros and cons of this piece, I'd like to start off by saying I absolutely adore it. It's one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe, that I hardly wear.
As a swim piece, it's a little impractical. American Apparel may be known to show your nips, but with this piece, you could be bearing all on the accidental. Maybe it's because I'm flat chested, but the deep V could fly open from time to time, especially when wearing the hood on. (Also, it's very Brazilian cut, personally this isn't in my comfort zone.) The perk to wearing it as a swim piece is the refreshing cool you get from a wet hood as it falls on your bare back. When it's hot out and the sun is burning down on your back, this could feel like heaven.
As a one piece, this is amazing! The hood is an unconventional cool feature and it allows for a completely backless look. Great with high-waisted bottoms. It's simple, yet edgy.
On more quality aspects, the material has withstood many wears and washes.
Love them!
i got this bikiny top over the website but when it came in , it was made out of cotton / t-shirt fabric... SERIOUSLY?? if i wanna play wet shirts on the pool/beach maybe... but that thing is not going to cover my "cold feeling" it was absolutely ABSURD!!!!!
They stretch out when i wear them but overall they look uber cuute.
So i got a two piece from aa and it was awful! FIrst of they run very small, second the quality is not very good...i went swimming and it got very loose and uncomfortable. im assuming this is how all thier swimwear is because they're all made of the same material...a very cheap form of nylon. would not recommend buying one.
i've always lover items from american apparel and the swimwear from there is absolutely a must on hot summer days :)

i've been wanting a one piece swimsuit that's like a monokimi but at the same time that doesn't look slutty and i found it at american apparel. and it was cheap compared to other prices.
