Know the right season to shop for a bathing suit

The best time to buy a swimsuit is during the off-season. If you live in a cold climate, you'll find the best deals on swimsuits in the winter.

If you live in a warm climate, you'll find the best deals on swimsuits in the summer. This is simple: retailers are trying to get rid of their stock before the next season, so they mark down prices significantly.

Look for sales

Another great way to find affordable bathing suits is to look for sales. Department stores and boutiques often have end-of-season sales where you can find designer swimwear at a fraction of the original price. You can also sign up for email newsletters to be notified about upcoming sales and promotions. Do an email and submit it on their website to receive all notifications.

Online or store bathing suit shopping

If you're not comfortable going into a store to try on swimsuits, shop online instead. You'll have a much larger selection to choose from, and you can take your time browsing through all the options. Just read the product descriptions, fine print, and check the size charts before purchasing.

Advantages of online swimsuit shopping:

  • You can shop from the comfort of your own home

  • There's a greater selection of swimsuits when online shopping than in stores

  • It's often cheaper to buy swimsuits online

Disadvantages of online swimsuit shopping:

  • You can't try the swimsuit on before you buy it

  • It can be not easy to find the right size

  • You have to pay for shipping and handling

Advantages of store swimsuit shopping:

  • You can try the swimsuit in their dressing room before you buy it

  • It's easier to find the right size in a store

  • There's usually no shipping or handling fee

Disadvantages of store swimsuit shopping:

  • It can be more expensive to buy swimsuits in stores

Pay attention to the fabric.

When you're trying on swimsuits, pay attention to the fabric. Some fabrics are more comfortable than others, and some will hold up better over time. If you plan to wear your swimsuit a lot, spending a little extra on a suit made from quality fabric is worth it.

Get a good fit

It's important to find a swimsuit that fits well. Just like dress sizes, swimsuit sizes are different. If it's too big, it will be uncomfortable, and it won't look good if it's too small. Try different sizes and styles until you find something that fits well and flatters your figure.
