I may have left my string bikini days behind long ago, but I still want to look nice on the beach. If you're like me, your ideal swimwear is not only flattering and comfortable but also affordable. Take a look at some of this season's swimwear offerings; perhaps you'll find the perfect swimsuit right here.
Blair Handkerchief Boy Leg Suit
This bathing suit proves you can find a flattering, comfortable suit that's also a bargain. When you look at this swimsuit, you may think it's a two-piece suit, but it's really just one piece with a lining that helps hide tummy bulges. The pretty floral print draws the eye upward, and the boy short bottom is both flattering and comfortable.
Carol Wior Splice Swimsuit
I own this swimsuit and I have loved it for years. The colors are still as bright as ever, and the suit really flatters my figure. It's a bit tricky to get into because of the hidden control panel, but certainly not impossible. You can wear this swimsuit to a water park or on an elegant cruise ship and feel confident that you look your best.
L. L. Bean Sarong Tank
I really like the look of this suit, even though it's no longer available in rose. The V-neck draws attention to your face, while the sarong drapes beautifully over your tummy and thighs. This swimsuit comes in regular and long torso sizes as well as women's sizes, so you can order a suit that truly fits well.
Land's End Ruched Tank Swimsuit
I love Land's End swimwear. I've had my trusty Land's End bathing suit for nearly a decade, and it's still going strong. This V-neck tank suit comes in trendy brown as well as basic black. The ruching flatters nearly any figure. If you have a short torso or are long-waisted like I am, you'll really appreciate Land's End's sizing options.
Land's End Halter Swim Top
Some women prefer two-piece bathing suits. They offer more freedom of movement, and you can choose from various styles and sizes if, like me, your top and bottom aren't perfectly proportioned. I like this halter swim top because it's colorful and flattering. If you're on the petite side, you can order the swim top in a short torso size so you won't be swimming in excess fabric. Best of all, you can pair this top with Land's End's fun SwimMini, below, or with traditional bathing suit bottoms. Note: The product descripion says, "short torso," but you can select the regular torso length when you purchase this swim top.
Land's End SwimMini
Even my ten-year-old daughter likes this swimsuit combo! Pair a SwimMini with the halter swim top above or with another swim top for a classy look. This swim skirt comes in several colors to coordinate with both solids and prints. While the SwimMini / halter swim top combo doesn't come cheap, you'll get not only Land's End quality but also a great-fitting two-piece swimsuit.
