I've had this Aussiebum Classic 1.5 suit for about a 2 weeks and never worn in water or anything,Just tried it on.But now that I take a pic today it looks looser than I thought.Should I buy a tighter suit???

Looks ok as an Aussiebum - but if tighter
style required perhaps go to anothe brand ?

(I've always found ABs tricky for making decisions on appearance
- probably not for me but many SLSC guys wear them well).

I think it looks fine. Aussibum nylon suits can be a bit loose. I see you have already taken advantage of the extra room! Seriously, it does look good on you.

Thanks Bostonspdo,I tried on the suit again and when I look in the mirror it looks fine to me,I don't always trust Pictures because cause of lighting,angles ect.and it looks very skimpy but not so much in the photo though.As Byron said its always hard to find for me personally to make a decision on aussiebum suits.If I had my choice I would be returning suits left and right to them to find the right one.

It looks fine. That is the beauty of nylon, it doesn't fit so tight and allows movement and a natural feel and look. Personally, I think you need to lower them a bit on your hips, they look hiked up a bit - but that is my opinion. You need to wear them where you are comfortable. Once wet they look, feel and fit better. Head out to the pool or beach and take them on a test run.

PSDave made a point that I forgot about. Nylon suits cling to you when they are wet. There is a much bigger difference between wet and dry in a nylon suit than in a spandex one, so you need to get in water to see how the suit will fit when wet.

It's not all about how it looks to others, but how you feel wearing it. Do you feel good in the suit, do you feel confident?
If you do then great head for the beach and the pool, if not then try another suit that makes you feel better.
