the swimsuit: opinions wanted

So almost every year I get a new bathing suit.

It’s just sort of a thing I’ve done ever since I was little. Like new school supplies for the start of a new school year, I get a new suit for the start of a new summer.

Usually I just go with a j.crew suit because I know they fit me and I know they are usually pretty flattering. They’re pricey, but tried and true. The above suits are my faves from j.crew online this season.

Are you a one-piece or a two-piece wearer?

I have a fair amount of two-piece suits, but over the past several years I’ve been leaning towards the one-piece. It’s both comfortable and timeless. Can’t go wrong when those two factors are concerned!

Which one do you like best??

  1. I do the same thing! except this year because of the burn I got on my chest last fall. it’s not allowed in the sun so I have to wear a shirt everywhere when in a bikini. no point in getting a new suit then! for the two piece I say the light blue polka dot, which I think would look great with your coloring (if you will). and then that floral one piece – its fun and different and pretty. I’m usually more of a two piece wearer but got a fun one piece last year and love breaking it out every now and then.

  2. I am having the same battle about this summer. My vote is for a one piece because polka dot one-piece swimsuits are awesome in my book. lol If I had to pick a two piece I’d go with the baby blue. Super cute! Good luck :)

  3. i love that first one piece– the gingham (i think?) one! so cute. but the polka-dotted one piece is pretty great and you’d never get sick of it.

  4. I say two piece just for the convenience.

    I normally hate bandeau tops but that green one is adorable.

  5. So many cute options! I’ve been looking a bit for a one piece, but haven’t had much long (long torso!). That navy and white polka dot one is darling, though!

  6. I love the polka dotted one, but you HAVE TO GET THE STRIPES! :)
    I’m a one-piece fan since a few years ago when I discovered the Miracle Suit! It’s the best, really good coverage and support and pretty, too.

  7. I haven’t worn a one-piece in ages but I really one to this summer! I believe it was ModCloth that had a ton of adorable ones recently….

  8. I’d say the one piece strapless floral print or the two piece light blue on the second row. Can’t wait to hear what you decide!

  9. Two piece for sure! I have enough awkward tan lines already

  10. I am usually a two-piece wearer. For some reason, I feel like one pieces display ALL my stomach flaws. Usually I’m also a Jcrew fan for swimsuits, but I’ve scored this year (for cheap!) from H&M and Gap!

  11. I’m a HUGE fan of J.Crew suits, too. I know just how they fit me and they hold up so well. I love one and two pieces… I especially love suit #1 – that floral pattern is so fun!

  12. They’re all really cute! I’m always into 2 pieces, mostly for comfort reasons (I don’t like having that wet material all around my middle, it bugs me!) You picked some pretty ones, I think the one on the bottom left is my fave!
