Southwest Florida has everything you need to enjoy a day in the sun – beautiful beaches, waterparks, boats, watersports and swimming pools. If you’re looking for some gorgeous resort wear or designer swimwear, your first stop should be at one of the Swim Mart or Swim City stores in the area. These local stores were recently named “Best place to purchase swimwear” by Reader’s Choice magazine.

New Styles of Beachwear
Recent fashions in resort wear include a wide range of mix and match separates that will take you from hotel room to pool or frombeach to lunch while still looking stylishly dressed. Brands stocked include Sunsets, Eco Swim and many others.

Bikini tops and one-piece swimwear come in a variety of strap styles including halter neck, cross over, triangle tops or bandeau styles. It’s good to have a choice of different options to avoid getting a nasty white line spoiling your sun tan if you wear the same strapline every day. Choose an underwired top for support and definition, or a longer T-shirt style tankini or cami to wear as a cover-up with matching or coordinating bottoms.
Bikini bottoms come in high cut leg, side tie bottoms, shorts, hipsters, ruched or banded styles. Those with larger hips and thighs will find swimsuits with a short skirt or ruffle disguise those less-than-perfect parts. Look out for skirtinis for the most flattering styles.

As well as bikini separates in a variety of different styles and leg cuts, you can add a matching sarong or a semi-transparent beach dress to wear over your beach separates. Look for loose caftans for the latest style to match or co-ordinate with your swimwear.

You’re sure to attract a second glance with your new resort wear whether you are enjoying a cruise, at the pool, participating in watersports or lounging on the beach. If you are fortunate enough to have a boat, looking good is all part of the pleasure of a day on the water.

Once you’ve settled on the perfect look for yourself, be sure to check out the men’s and children’s sections so your entire family will be looking great when you head to the pool or beach. Finish your retail therapy by throwing some vacation accessories into your shopping basket, such as fluffy colorful beach towels, sun hats and sunglasses (a must in Florida!) Add a pair of wedge sandals or designer flip-flops to complete the look.
