Sometimes I break down and buy a patterned suit, but then find it never gets worn. Maybe its because a Speedo sized patch of bright pattern just interrupts the line of my body too much? Maybe its because patterns hide the overall shape and curvature of the body? Or maybe its because all the nylon Speedos of my youth were plain colors? Not sure why, but I look in the mirror and grab something else. As long as we're discussing preferences, l also avoid those suits that are all black except for little bright colored side panels.

To my eye, a plain color - any color - beats a pattern. Your preference may vary!
