Hi, everybody. Sorry , but I have a problem with my computer. This time in Enlgish. Just a question. The word "swimsuit" is just for women, man or for both? Thanks in advance. Nice weekend |

Swimwear is for everybody. Women wear swimsuits, bikinis, swimming costumes, (shortened to cozzies), tankinis, burkinis... Men wear trunks or shorts. And I have heard of mankinis. |

This might be a BE- AE thing, but growing-up in the USA we used "swimsuit" to refer to any kind of swimwear (male and female). |

We said swimsuit for both boys and girls, too. A google search on boy�s swimsuits revealed that it is still used by retailers such as Target and Old Navy in the US. |
