Boston Mamas: Shirring & Strutting

Lands’ End is my go-to source for Laurel’s summer tankinis and action sandals, but I also dig that they offer women’s swimsuits with a few magic details to inspire beach strutting confidence. Offering suits for all shapes and sizes, their Slender Suits - which create sleekness via slimming fabric and shirring - are particularly handy to cope with residual winter excess. And the ability to search for suits by body shape helps take the guesswork out of which styles will flatter your rectangular or triangular proportions. The collection does tend toward conservative and I’d love to see LE eventually work more modern prints, but when in doubt, you can fall back on black, or opt for a pretty classic pattern such as the Damask Floral.

Want to win a $100 gift card to Lands’ End*? Here’s how:

I picked out a great tankini, but could afford it. This would give me the opportunity to have a top and bottom that actually fit. They really do have great suits at good prices, just still too much for me right now.

Haven't had a new swimsuit in 20 years. Now, I have lost weight and "Lands End" suits are perfect for my new, albeit pear-shaped body!

I like the mix and match style; the tie side bottoms and the Damask v neck top. That's whats so great about Lands End; they know we are not all models! AND...it's the only place I can buy jeans for my boy.
I do so hope I win this....

My favorite swimsuit is the customized V neck underwire tankini. It is so nice to have the option of a swimsuit with some actual support for those of us who are more busty. Thanks for the fun giveaway!

This would be great as I have to wear a 2-piece to cover my tall frame, but can never find one modest enough for my liking. Therefore, I would select the Women's Regular Beach Living Chainlink Mini SwimMini™ in black/turquoise and the Women's Regular Custom Solid Non-padded Underwire Triangle Cup Tankini Swim Top in black if I were to win.
