Thanks so much for reading Chic Shopper Chick! Sadly, this giveaway is now closed, and a winner has been chosen via Random.org – congrats to Sarah!
I know. You’re reading the title going “there is no such thing as a perfect swimsuit, Erika!” and well, I’m mostly inclined to agree. Mostly. Last year, Land’s End approached me and offered to let me try one of their swimsuits. You can read last year’s post about the horrors of swimsuit shopping, and how a Land’s End Swimsuit changed that all for me. They approached me again this year, and I thought, ok, beginners luck the first time – let’s see if the second swimsuit is just as awesome. Well, it is. Since then, I have become a die-hard, Land’s End swimsuit loyalist and enthusiast. I own a grand total of three swimsuits now, all of them Land’s End.
Here I am last summer with the munchkin – enjoying our beach time in my Land’s End suit.
Here are the top reasons that I love my Land’s End Swimsuits:
1. Coverage. I’m tall and curvy, and most suits that I try on make it look like I forgot that a bathing suit should actually provide some amount of coverage. Not so with Land’s End. Plenty of coverage, without making me look like a maw-maw (with all due respect to any of the maw maws reading this!)
2. Durable. These swimsuits are fully lined and very well made. 2 of the suits that I have, I’ve had for over a year now, and the still look like new. I couldn’t believe how thick the material was, and how, even in a white suit (of which I have 2!) I felt fully *ahem* covered.
3. Sexy. Let’s just be honest. No one puts on a swimsuit with the hope of looking dumpy. I feel sexy and confident in all three of my Land’s End suits, which is a much better average than almost every other suit I’ve tried. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I’ve only owned maybe one other suit in my entire life that I feel this good in. I feel fortunate to have 3!
4. Modern. Whomever is designing the suits for Land’s End not only understands the curves of a woman’s body, but they understand how to translate that into modern looks and cuts. All 3 of my suits have hardware in them, like my Island Morada Ring swimsuit. There are lots of other fun, modern cuts, while still providing the things I mentioned above.
Update: We just got back from a week at the beach with my family, and I, of course, rocked my Land’s End Swimsuit the entire time! You can see all of our pictures on Flickr, but here are three of my faves!
Win it! So, here’s the scoop! I want you to see for yourself why I love Land’s End swimwear so much, so Land’s End has graciously agreed to give one VERY lucky Chic Shopper Chick reader her very own Land’s End Swimsuit!
