Triangl suits, like the one on the far left, are similar to other brands, so much so that many cannot tell the difference. The true difference is in the materials in which the suits are created.

It’s finally returning to “that time of year” again. The time when the sun is hot, the grass is green and people start flocking to the pools or various vacation destinations.

The most simple yet underrated item that you need is a bathing suit. While bathing suits last a long time, it is nice to revamp your swimwear wardrobe every few seasons.

Here are a few stores that carry a large selection of swimwear in many different styles for a very reasonable price. You can mix and match tops and bottoms, or get entire bathing suit sets for whatever occasion it may be.

Some of these are online-only stores, and some are both online and department store shops.

Pros: Inexpensive, lots of variety, good fit

Cons: Quality is not the greatest, might only last one or two swim seasons

Pros: Quality, lots of selection both online and in stores.

 

Cons: A little pricier per piece

Pros: Last a long time

Cons: Pricier, not a ton of variety in store, have to primarily shop online for swimwear

Pros: Inexpensive, lots of options

Cons: Online only — takes a while to ship, not the greatest quality

While there are many retailers that sell swimwear, these are a few of the greatest options for women in the college-age range considering different components.

Hopefully these options will help you consider the pros and cons of each retailer and help you make the best decision for you when it comes to purchasing your next summer bathing suit.
