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.










why, to catch some fish of course!
Well, it might be useful if you have a sunstroke but you still want to go swimming. That being said, I still think the swimsuit looks rather silly.
Or to keep the sun off your face / prevent sunstroke. Just a shame the front of the swimsuit is so hideous.
Actually, American Apparel has been selling a hooded swimsuit (or bodysuit, can’t recall) for a few years already. I can sorta appreciate the look.
Meant to add: except the whole superhero-cape tied at the throat thing that this one has going on.
could be wrong due to the hideousness of this suit blinding me, but i think the tie goes behind your neck as a halter tie for the suit…the hood seems to be attached to the strap grommets…which might mean the hood is removeable?…much better option IMO
It’s for teen girls who are addicted to their hoodies.
It would actually be ideal for me. When swimming, my body is under water but my head is not. I get sunburnt very easily (especially on my scalp) and are prone to sunstrokes. So, I would wear it out of practicality – but OMG it is ugly.
Oh My God. Who thinks of these things?

I actually like the idea. Perfect for those of us who burn regardless of sunscreen. But this is a terrible way of going about it.
Personally, I think it’s a health hazard. Surely a hood increases the likelihood of drowning.
There is no reason for this…this…this TRAVESTY! This ugly, ugly travesty!
Just looking at this confuses me.
I can identify only if you can actually remove the hood. Yknow.. go for a swim, pop the hood on, stroll down the beach, take it off and swim again?
