Lots of people in swimsuits and bikinis at Coachella this weekend. ---

What am I missing about the sheepskin footwear worn with swim wear? :dubious: Can’t wait for swimsuit weather! (for me that’s boardshorts and a tankini ) ---

Outside of the beach in the one month it’s warm here, I never see swim suits. It’s a shame, but it does save me from inflicting my beer gut on the world. ---

> [@chela](#): > > And do tell, how many were wearing Uggs with their bikinis ala Kate Hudson? None that I saw. Uggs aren’t optimal when the temps are nearing triple digits. ---

Nope, except at swimming pools or when we go the lake or something. Oh, and Silver Dollar City, since there are wet rides. The temp does get into the triple digits a week out of the year, but most people just seem to not go outside or specifically go to the pool. And a swimsuit while in good A/C is just silly. ---

You don’t want to stick your wallet into your Speedo. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-ever-see-people-walking-in-public-in-swimsuits/578858.md?page=1)
