Sharyn GreensteinWith Memorial Day weekend upon us, many BA50’s will start heading to the beach, lake or pool. If you haven’t already, it’s time to bring out your swimsuits from last summer and check to see if they are still looking fresh. As most only last for a few years before stretching out or fading, it may be time to replace one or add a new style to your collection.
Aerie, a brand formally reserved for youngsters, now has expanded their swimwear collection to appeal to all age groups. Many styles are made out of recycled plastic or nylon, so they are good for the environment too. Most are on sale for under $50 right now, and some styles come in tall sizing. Lands’ End has partnered with Reece Witherspoon’s Draper James brand and has some beautiful offerings in plus sizing. Read on for my curated selection of swimsuits with coordinating cover-ups to flatter all shapes and sizes. Happy Summer!
