From the beach to the wardrobe
To some people, bathing suits are the waterproof equivalent of underwear; basic coverage only appropriate at the beach or the pool.
Well to those stuck in that antiquated mentality: Welcome to 2008!
Bathing suits are now a fashion statement. Peppered with details and in an array of styles, bathing suits are now a new section of one's wardrobe.
By searching around for a bathing suit that falls in line with your style, flatters your body shape, and has enough durability for the activities you need it for, it will become a lasting addition to your closet collection.
