Shirring & Strutting

landsend.bmpLands’ 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:

    Land's End--the best!

    I have always loved these clothes. Pretty, smart and comfy.

    This would be perfect for me!

    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.

    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.
