Swimwear Worthy of You

Is the luxury swimsuit worth it?

In a word, yes. Just like a great pair of boots or the perfect winter coat (minus all those insulating layers), luxury swimsuits tend to cost more money for practical reasons. First of all, López points out that, compared to the rest of her warm season wardrobe, "her swimsuit lasts a lot." Swimsuits should stay in place during a lot of movement, from swimming to jogging and those jumping-in-the-air group photos that are mandatory on most family vacations or girls' trips.

"A high-quality suit will be able to provide support, fit your body well in the ch*est, h*ips and bu*ttocks, stay in place once wet, and last the entire swimsuit season, if not years," says Lopez. In contrast, "cheap swimsuits can be easily damaged, especially by chlorine. They are often partially tran*sparent or not lined properly and do not always fit the body despite bulky bra p*ads or ties, clasps or additional hoops".

If you're looking for a classic swimsuit with support, Andie Swim has you covered. The brand designs one- and two-p*iece suits with a focus on fit so you can spend less time pulling, straightening and adjusting your swimsuit and more time enjoying yourself without anxiety about slipping. The brand also prioritizes sustainability. Their packaging and labels are made from recycled materials and a large selection of their suits are made from recycled nylon.
