Why You Should Invest In High Quality Swimwear
Being a store that prioritizes bikini selling, we have learned a lot through the years – how to find the right fit, discerning between good and bad quality swimwear, how to keep bikinis lasting forever, and every other issue you could possibly encounter when it comes to bikinis. Experience is everything, and we have over 30 years of it! And because of that, you should trust us at The Bikini Shoppe when we tell you: Invest. In. Your. Bikini.
We’ve all been there. You go on a trip but pack at the last minute, and you end up scrambling through your suitcase for a bikini that just isn’t there. After Googling and traveling to your nearest bikini shop, you parse through the cutest newest styles only to have your eyes bug out at the price. All of that for this tiny scrap of fabric? Absurd. You ask the employee, why is this bikini top so much? And she will tell you.
Paying Quality Attention
Besides delicates, swimwear is the most fragile piece of clothing a person keeps in their wardrobe. The material and elasticity may trick you into thinking it's impermeable, but you need to pay attention! Department store swimwear is often constructed with less meticulous effort. Due to having looser regulations when it comes to patterns and consistency, as well as being made of cheaper materials, the price point often matches the quality of the piece. Next time you hit Walmart or Target, pick up a suit and take a closer look. Is there only one layer of fabric with no inner lining? Are the seams single surged or are the threads fraying? How durable do the strings seem to be? Will you have to buy a new suit in six months? These are the things you want to watch out for.
Care in Construction
Higher priced swimwear is made with more durable materials and are often lined on the top and bottom, as well as double stitched – made to stay beautiful forever. You can feel the difference. Bigger brands use better quality materials, like Vitamin A using EcoLux fabrics. They also have more regulations and quality checks when in the inspection part of the process, ensuring every piece comes out perfect. And besides quality, these pieces are often more unique and intricate, something you would want to keep on your body forever. Plus, every brand tells a different story! Luli Fama, for instance, has an in-office designer so every one of their patterns is unique, bright, and bold. Frankies Bikinis is a brand so recognizable, as soon as you step out in one of her sets you’re an automatic It Girl. L*Space and PQ Swim make classic staples in beautiful colors, the most flattering swim for when you want to feel gorgeous. In Billabong or Roxy, moderate swimwear made for watersports, you’re the athlete you’ve always wanted to be.
Grabbing something off the rack at the grocery store down the street will never make you feel as good as stepping into a store made for swimwear. Getting personal assistance, trying bikinis on and figuring out your styles can’t be beat. With these tips, you will find something that fits you perfectly and makes you feel like the girl you were always meant to be!
