[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]American here. I was thinking it over, and realized I never wore a two-piece until I was 13, and then it was a sporty tank bra top. I may not have gone full bkini until 17. I also was encouraged to never wear black, and thought it was risque when I finally did, as a teenager. My mother was appalled at young girls wearing heels, and I didn't do so until 12-13. Also, pierced ears, etc. It's a conservative culture, about girls' bodies, except when it's not.

I don't have a girl, but I would get her a two piece whenever she asked for it. I think it's more practical for a girl to have a one piece in sporty situations, but if she wants a two piece for playing, I think that's cute. She will grow up to be a female, after all.

I have a boy, and he understands it's ok to have his top off. I do not know exactly how I would tell a little girl she can't have her top off other than "you're a girl." I am not ready to fight all that, unless the kid is ready to fight it. For example, kid is trans, they can decide about top on or top off.
