Jen Aniston: Why I've Worn the Same Bikini for Years

Jennifer Aniston is a repeat offender and proud of it!
In a new interview with Glamour mag, the actress, 42, defends her tendency to wear the same articles of clothing over and over again -- like the bikini she's been photographed in for two years straight.

"I'll wear it for as many years as the strings still tie!" Aniston tells Glamour, adding that she's not a fan of elaborate two-pieces worn by some stars.
"Bathing suits now have so much hardware on them that they singe your skin. When you take your bikini off, it looks like you've been branded with crop circles and lightning bolts and words like Gucci!"
Aniston shares the Glamour cover with Demi Moore and Alicia Keys; the trio collaborated to help launch Five, a series of films about women and breast cancer set to air on Lifetime October 10. Aniston directed one of the short films.
In the chat, the star -- dating Justin Theroux since March -- also sheds light on her ideal relationship.
"I would say I couldn't be in a relationship without equality, generosity, integrity, spirit, kindness and humor. And awesomeness," says Aniston.
The Horrible Bosses star -- who's had a string of box office hits and recently had a handprint ceremony at Grauman's Chinese Theater -- says she's never felt better. "Being this side of 40 feels like what I should have felt being this side of 25: in my body, in my heart, happy with my life, and OK with whatever bumps in the road present themselves," she gushes.

Not that Aniston isn't nostalgic about her early days in Hollywood. "When I was 22, I was having a ball! I would have nothing to say to myself. I was living in Laurel Canyon with my best friends...and we were dreaming of creating things like Five."
Tell Us What You Think
24And not one person mentioned that Alicia Keys is standing right next to her... A woman who met her current husband while he was married.
It really says something about the crass materialism that rags like US espouse to its readers when they feel we'll be shocked that someone has the gall to wear something twice. Oh, the horror! Makes Jen sound like a normal person, to me.
I hate it when people say who cares in the comments. Obviously you cared enough to click on the story, read it, and then comment. After losing 3 women in my family to breast cancer, I think it is fantastic that Alicia, Jen, and Demi took on this project. I also think the cover picture looks fantastic!
she is soooo beautiful! LOVE HER
At first glance I thought Demi was Courtney. They look alike.
Her movies are decent, they make me laugh. She isn't out to win an Oscar. Marley and Me was good and her last movie was a big hit Horrible Bosses, and very funny. She has won critical acclaim for half dozen movies, and made big bucks for another half dozen, and doesn't even try. Comedies are very difficult to win awards for.
:a string of box office hits"?? Really???? i wouldn't call them hits & I wouldn't call her a movie star. Is she pretty, yes! Does she have a great body, yes. Is she is a good actress who does good movies...NO!!!
Good for her for recycling and not being the dumb fashion-estaa most shallow women are.
I don't know Sarah what your point is. It has nothing to do with anything. Looks like a great photo shoot.
What does that have to do with anything, Sarah Stevenson or Janelle? She probably doesn't know a thing about Alicia Keys. Unless you're a fan of her music and, therefore, POSSIBLY her personal life...you wouldn't even know who the heck she's married to. I have heard the guys name before but did not know that sordid history anyway. What's the point??
Good photos, very upbeat. A good acceptance of unconditional friendship. They all look great.
Agreed 100000% with Sarah Stevenson
I think it's kind of ironic that Jen is in a picture and hugging a woman (Alicia Keys) that did to Swizz Beat's ex wife what Angelina Jolie did to her.
SERIOUSLY WHO BLOODY CARES, ANISTON HASNT DONE ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT SINCE FRIENDS, AS FOR THE BIKINI...MY GOD .. ITS BLOODY AWFUL
She looks great in the bottom picture, but that top one is rough. She looks older than Demi.
Terrific photo shoot!! All look fantastic.
Great photos. They are all friendly, and very upbeat.
Great cover. All look good..refreshing.
This woman is so dang boring!
Ewwww crotch rot...thanks for sharing lmao jk
