Definitions and meanings of "Burqini"

What do we mean by burqini?

A head-to-toe swimsuit, enabling women to conform to the Islamic dress code when bathing on a public beach.

A variation on the "burqa," which is a full body conservative Islamic dress for women who want to hide all their features while outdoors. The burqini is a full body swimsuit which disguises the curves of a woman (especially at the hips and thighs), and also covers the head, but leaves the face exposed. It allows Islamic women to swim a little freer than having the full burqa on in the water. Urban Dictionary

A burqini is a redesigned burka designed to allow muslim women to "swim" without violating sharia law for decency. Also is one of the most rediculous looking outfits ever designed with intention of water sport as the end activity. The suit is made of loose fitting material that covers the entire body minus the face. Due to the loose fit and covering of both the hands and feet this garment is extremely dangerous to wear in the water for even experienced and fit swimmers let alone someone who can't even swim. Basically it was a failed attempt to give the impression that women in that culture have equality. Urban Dictionary
