Your Search (and Mine!) for the Bathing Suit Needle in a SwimWear Haystack is Over!

 

red and blackThe start of spring means it is bathing suit season! While the mere thought may inspire a myriad of reactions, ultimately, the goal is the same: look and feel great in whatever styles and suits suit you!

Admittedly, like most women, finding flattering swimwear can be challenging. Tried looking for a needle in a haystack? I have. It’s torture. I’m short-waisted, long legged, top heavy and exposed tummy averse. It’s a mouthful and yet, it’s all packed into my five-foot frame.   Whether you share in one, some, or all of these features, it’s rare to find a suit that highlights all of my assets while simultaneously doing justice to the parts of my body I’d like to downplay. But, in preparing for the swim event this weekend, I’m delighted to report that the tides have turned!

While I’ve always enjoyed the variety Athleta provides, they’ve raised the bar this year – and then some. There is truly something for everybody – and my body—in this collection. Whether you prefer a “sun-bathing” suit, the suit that ensures you catch the perfect wave or the perfect moment wading with your little ones on the shore at the beach or in the pool, there’s a top, a bottom, a one piece, a tankini, board shorts, a dress (!!!) and more in a print, a solid, or both, just for you.

And the best part? Everything is interchangeable! With over 15 solid colors and tons of prints to choose from, start mixing and matching to your heart’s content and make your swim look your own!

Highlights include the new Aqualuxe collection: the tops are (wait for it….) supportive – and sexy – two features that are no longer mutually exclusive. The Kaimana tops feature underwire styles that are as supportive as they are flattering; and the Aqualuxe molded cup tops – they provide that extra boost every woman doesn’t know she needs but won’t want to live without! There is an endless array of bottoms – from tie bikini bottoms to board shorts, they’ve got your legs covered – in every sense of the word!

Gone are my needle in a haystack days. The toughest part now is not finding one that fits – it’s deciding which ones to keep!

I can’t wait to help you find your perfect combo Saturday when I host Athleta’s swim event, from 10-12 pm, at Athleta Corte Madera. Come join me to find the suit that suits you best so you can make your own, unique statement this summer!!

I now spend my days helping others -- men and women--do the same.
