What to look for in a swimsuit? The cover-up, of course! Don’t leave the home without it. We like a swimsuit that lends itself to a flattering, even suntan, so avoid one shouldered, halters and the like, unless you are not planning to go in the sun. In our opinion a strapless suit that has an attachable strap for swimming or a suit with straps that you can take down easily, are the best for style, comfort and ease. This is a universally flattering suit, whether your shape is apple (larger on top, smaller hips), pear (larger on bottom, smaller thighs), or banana (straight up and down). For more details on choosing a flattering style, see the video below from Flare.com. Meanwhile we went to SAKS.com and found this amazing selection – ALL ON SALE!
