If the definition of wetlook is any clothing not considered to be conventional swimwear, then the burkini would be wetlook now, but eventually will become part of the gamut of "conventional" swimwear.
Personally, I don't consider it wetlook because it's intended purpose is swimwear. Traditional muslim street clothing - including burkas, etc. would be wetlook when wet. However, I don't think either burkinis or conservative muslim womens' clothing makes for good wetlook because it's too concealing.
I'm a wet business suit fan, and although some folks would argue that business suits are quite concealing, I don't think that's necessarily true. At least one can admire face, hair, stockinged legs, and to some degree a shapely woman's figure even when she's dressed for business, but that just aint so for a burkini or a burka. Let's face it, those outfits are purposely designed to conceal every aspect of a woman's appearance which a man might find appealing. Business suits are supposed to be "conservative" but still allow for some visual appeal.

By sjakie - Wed 27/02/08 20:19:59 GMT Some public pools in the Netherlands refuse to let the muslim women swim in a burkini. A dutch women reporter tested some public pools and test the reaction from the people in the pool. She said it is like swimming in clothes, and she feels the weight of wet clothes, when she is coming out the water. But it dry very quikly and it is made to swim in. look for yourself

Most of the people in the pool are not happy with the Burkini. The muslim man at the end is mad and said that the Muslim women must do the same as the Dutch women, swim in a bathing suit.
