Going Fur a Swim
The closest thing you can get to Naked in Mink and still remain G-rated. This is wearing a fur coat or wrap with a swimsuit (either one piece or two piece). It also doesn't matter if the fur is real.
Obvious Fan Service. Used for many purposes (aside from actually swimming of course). An obvious purpose is in advertising, regardless of whether the product is the fur, the swimsuit or something else entirely (often a car).
Some publicity photos for movie starlets in the Golden Age of Hollywood had the actress wear this kind of outfit.
Naturally one of the blatant forms of Fetish Fuel.

Real Life

- A later Miss USA pageant had the swimsuit competition with white marabou coats.
- Some of the other nation counterparts to Miss USA do this with their swimsuit competitions, like Miss Russia and Miss Japan.
