For £705 / $1,102 we think we’d want the WHOLE sweater, not just the top half of it, and we don’t care if it IS knitted with unicorn hair.

Unsolved Mysteries: Hooded swimsuit from River Island

hooded swimsuit1 Unsolved Mysteries: Hooded swimsuit from River Island

Why does a swimsuit need a hood?

No, we’re being serious: WHY DOES A SWIMSUIT NEED A HOOD?

Unless you actually ARE Lady Gaga (or, OK, Rihanna), and are planning to wear your swimsuit for non-swimming related activities, WHY DOES IT NEED TO HAVE A HOOD?

We’re opening a new case-file on this item, which can be found at River Island. Your input would be appreciated.
