In my first year, sweaters became the only outerwear I needed. I discovered sandals were almost always acceptable. I delicately chipped away at my clothing until what remained was simple but thoroughly me a.
I embodied Cali-casual…but, apparently, not when it came to swimsuits. It wasn't until a girls' trip to Palm Springs that I realized there was something I'd somehow missed. My girlfriends' suitcases were stuffed with bikinis. It was as if they'd swim in one and magically emerge from the water in a completely different suit. West Coast women have what is intimidatingly referred to as a "bathing suit wardrobe.
For example. Although there may be one or few reasons behind owning as much swimsuits as possible which we will probably look out somewhere in this article but before then lemme quickly say this. A lot of persons tend to have so much of them but the real questions should be, how many do you actually wear? The love we have for anything can make us wants to go extra miles just to get that thing.
Same goes for swimsuits enthusiast. I once met a lady who is so obsessed with bikinis despite having tons of them. She went further to add that they make her feel extremely confident about herself too. Weird right? I once had a friend who bought 10 swimwear for a 2 weeks vacation cruise. That alone should give you an idea of how much people spend buying swimsuits during vacations. Just like undies, there are some persons who are sensitive to using one piece of swimsuits twice due to chlorine and salt build-up and as such, they tend to buy more swimwears at every given opportunity.
You'll need two suits in your typical taste and style, so that you always have one available while the other might be drying. For the third suit, you will want to consider bringing a modest one-piece option, as it may be more suitable for group activities or in a number of other situations. It is always best to purchase your swimsuits prior to travel, as that they may not be available in your size or particular style at your final destination.
Plus, swimsuits are always overpriced in hotel gift shops or in tropical destinations. When I travel, I am not one of those people who pack a different swimsuit for each day of their vacation.
Usually, I pack two sets, so I can wear one while the other dries, or in case some sort of emergency happens - losing your swimsuit from the hotel balcony is a very real thing! When I go to the seaside, or to a place where I expect to soak in a lot of sun, I go with a two-piece, since I want to get tanned as much as possible.
I often remove my top part when I am laying on my chest, so my back can get evenly brown. My current two-piece is a plain white one without any prints or sparkly details. I am fond of plain clothes in general, plus I think that once you get tanned, the white contrasts very well with your skin.
One-pieces are very versatile and I enjoy the freedom of movement they allow for, without having to worry that something might slip out of them.
When traveling to a waterfront destination, I recommend taking a minimum of 2 swimsuits, but you may want more depending on what you plan to do while there!
If you pack 2 suits, you'll always be able to wear one while the other is being washed and dried. This will keep you more comfortable no matter what kind of water you're around - whether it's a chlorinated pool or the salty ocean, you'll want to take care of your suits and wash them with a gentle soap and dry in between uses. With 2 suits, you can swap out and keep both looking and feeling great. If you plan to be very active on your trip, consider packing 2 active one-piece suits that you can really move well in without fear of wardrobe malfunctions - if you're planning to do a lot of kayaking or snorkeling, for example, or expect to be swimming with dolphins, boogie boarding, etc.
In contrast, if you're mostly going to be in a cabana or lounging by the pool or beach, pack 2 suits that make you feel fabulous - a great bikini and a monokini or other fun suit, for example. If you may be doing both, pack 2 suits of your preferred kind and 1 that you can switch up with - for instance, I'm usually more active on my vacations, so I'll pack 2 tank-style or athletic one-piece suits and a single bikini or tankini for when I'm lounging.
That gives me multiple options and still doesn't take up too much room in the suitcase! When preparing for a holiday packed with time in the water, I pack 3 to 4 swimsuits. In addition, I make sure to bring a rash guard that I can put over my bikini top for added sun protection.
Plus, you can pick different bikinis for different things. I bring one skimpy bikini for tanning or romantic beach outings with my boyfriend and a sportier swimsuit with full coverage bottoms for water sports like surfing and kiteboarding. I love beach holidays and preparing for them.
Trying on a new swimsuit makes me think of the next holiday and brightens my day, even the gloomiest winter one.
I prefer bikinis as I want to get a good tan. I don't want to lose part of that swimsuit with the first wave. I always bring two bathing suits with me, no matter how short the trip is. More than that, we all like to take a lot of photos on a holiday, so I don't want them all to look the same. Have you been collecting bikini tops and bottoms for years and now have a drawer full of them?
