S/O: Bathing Suits

Where do you guys get your suits? I bought a suit last year, and I think I must have been drunk when I bought it, because I look like a grandma in it. It's a hideous floral, I have no idea what I was thinking.

Where do you guys go? Is it too late in the season?

Re: S/O: Bathing Suits

  • the only one i really like/look good in is a tankini from coco reef (usually macy's or lord & taylor carry this brand). they have the mix/match option and tops with underwire bras built in, which i absolutely need.

  • I bought 2 from shabbyapple.com, they were really cute and great quality, but I didn't love them on me, so I returned them because they were pretty pricey, IMO.

    I have 2 new ones coming from target and old navy.  Both websites had inventory left still.  I have found that going to an actual store, you won't have much luck, because they're already picked over.  I prefer buying enough to get free shipping and then returning to the store what I don't want.

    Check JC Penneys too, and Macys and what have you.

  • My recent favorites have been from Lands End Canvas, Athleta and J. Crew.

    I hate Old Navy suits. They're cheap, but they barely last a single season. 

  • As an aside, I might do this deal, and hope for the best. I was thinking I should go to a store and try stuff on, but I think SSWife is right, it's probably too late.

  • Almost all of mine are from Victoria's Secret. Huge variety and they always seem to run good sales online.
  • another vote for victorias secret. tons of styles and usually good sales (plus i buy so much other stuff from them i accumulate gift cards). also, i think the quality is pretty good. my suit that i bought for my honeymoon 5yr ago is still in good shape (though I've since bought more suits so it's not getting as much use).

  • when do the swim suits go for the end-of-summer sales? I'm still BFing so I want to wait to buy a nice one, so I was thinking August?

     

  • I buy my (gigantic) cup sized suits from figleaves.com.  I will never shop anywhere else now because their suits look 100x better than anything else I've found on my body.

  • Athleta and I went to Belk here in Central VA (don't know if they are in NOVA area) and bought a suit by 2Bamboo.  I have also looked at suits from Title 9
