The Best Swimsuit Tips: Beach, Pool & Beyond

Swimsuit season is upon us, so here are the Manhattan Wardrobe Supply best swimsuit Tips. It’s time for us to dust off our tankinis, find our bikini bottoms and go to the beach (or pool, or maybe just your porch). Sometimes, though, you can’t just throw your swimwear in your bag with your towel, sunglasses and sunscreen and go. You might need a little help to make everything look perfectly beach ready.

Best Swimsuit Tips: Buy Online

Swimwear shopping is never fun. The dressing rooms have terrible lighting, I always seem to do it right after a big meal (why?!). Buy suits online instead.  You can try things on in the comfort of your own home.  Your lighting is great.  You can use all of the tools at your disposal — like the ones below– to make sure your suit looks amazing before you commit.  Many places have return policies that include free return shipping!  Once you find that perfect suit, there are some ways to make it even better.

Best Swimsuit Tips: Be Discreet with Bring It Up Nipple Covers

These are great under string bikini tops, in particular.  They keep anything from “showing” when the breeze blows or after you take a dip in a cool pool, as well as helping to “lift” to add a little more support to the bikini top.  You can use them under any suit, but they are particularly good for minimally lined and minimally supported swimwear.  Bonus: they’re reusable!  These are also great if you’re going braless under a sundress or tube top.

Best Swimsuit Tips: Enhance Your Bust with Braza Swim Shapers

Sometimes, the “girls” just look a little… down.  Lift them up and create cleavage, shape and lift with Braza Swim Shapers.  These are great because they’re waterproof — just slip them into your swimwear top (these work particularly well in suits with underwire or with a shelf bra) and you’ll look a lot perkier and be more confident.  They come in triangle (for your string bikini tops), round and full (for more full-coverage swimwear) and in cup sizes from A-D.

Swimwear Tricks: Keep Your Suit in Shape with Activewear Mate

You need to wash your swimwear every time you wear it — yes, even if you’re on vacation. Spandex can be damaged by chlorine, salt, sweat, sunscreen and sand.  We like Activewear Mate, which will clean, strengthen and soften your swimwear (or gym clothes!) in just three minutes, with no rinsing.  Plus, your suit won’t smell like the pool — it will smell like citrus!

Best Swimsuit Tips: Protect Your Modesty with Braza Camel-Not

How many celebrities have been caught with the dreaded camel toe? Don’t be like them! Braza Camel-Not is an insert that sticks to your swimwear with double-sided tape, ensuring that your anatomy stays where it ought to whether you’re swimming, lying by the pool, or walking around a resort. There are three in a pack, and they are hand washable and reusable (just pack some extra double-sided tape in your bag).

Best Swimsuit Tips: Dry Your Suits with Notched Chrome Hangers

Do you want to keep your swimsuit’s shape without having to sacrifice horizontal space?  Try Chrome Notched Hangers.  You can hang your swimwear tops, no matter how thin the strap, without it falling down, and the chrome is rust-resistant, so it won’t damage your suit.  These are great for storing your suit too– this keeps the suit from getting lost in your lingerie drawer.
