Things I like: - They sell separates, which (although expensive) allows me to buy a larger top and smaller bottom. - Their separates work well to mix-and-match; for example, if you buy a print top, you could choose the matching print bottom or a matching solid. You could choose a standard bottom, a skirt or boy shorts. - They sell D cup swimsuits. - Their things really last. I have Lands End swimsuits that're over a decade old. - I also really like their tee-dress type cover ups. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LindaD22 Posted March 3, 2023 #8 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I only buy Lands End. They last forever, are modest and comfy, and usually on sale throughout the year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slidergirl Posted March 3, 2023 #9 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I'm on the hunt, too. I'm an Athleta swimsuit person. Different size tops and bottoms of different coverage. Title Nine has some cute pieces, too. My paddle shorts are Title Nine. I'd like to see if I can find a 1-piece this year, but finding one that fits on my size 14-16 top and size 10 bottom could prove "interesting." Land's End was a go-to back in the 2000s, but my body type has changed enough that they just aren't right. I'll even buy a top from one brand and a bottom from another if the fit is right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samasquatch Posted March 3, 2023 #10 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I like Calypsa. Lots of choices with separates to choose from in a variety of sizes. I also love all of their modest options. They're on the pricey end, but hold up really well and are completely worth it in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badtwin Posted March 6, 2023 #11 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I love my land's end and miracle suits but on our recent cruise in the Caribbean, the Land's End suit with its lovely supporting panels would not dry. I hate putting on a cold damp swim suit so next cruise I will forego support and shaping for something that might dry - like a speedo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lands End suits -- as much as I like them -- are a little thicker than most suits; I assume that's necessary for the extra support they provide. As a result, they do take longer to dry. I totally agree that putting on a cold, damp suit is no fun, but my answer to this is to bring several suits so I can always have one that's bone dry. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUSIEK Posted May 4, 2023 #14 Share Posted May 4, 2023 I've been buying La Blanca and Bleu Rod Beattie suits. They are made very well and don't seem to fade. Marshalls and TJ Maxx here in Florida carries a really good selection of suits and coverups. Living in Florida....I have many suits. I do bring several when cruising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondoggie Posted May 18, 2023 #15 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Lands End tankinis for sure. 14 top 12 bottom. ALWAYS fit--for the last 30 years. I live in a beach town, so will periodically buy either a new swim skirt or a top--no need to go through the horror of a fitting room!!!!! Yes, their 'sales' are phony, so buy at the end of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye7 Posted May 19, 2023 #16 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I am loyal to LandsEnd for swimsuits as well. I did, however, just buy this suit at Costco for a very low price and it’s surprisingly well- made. Thicker like Lands End and a very nice fit. I have a black short sarong that I’ll wear with it. https://www.amazon.com/Nautica-Womens-Cross-Swimsuit-Castaway/dp/B09TJTTJHZ/ref=asc_df_B09TJTTJHZ/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=596474166135&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11683808765871562679&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1023640&hvtargid=pla-1657886612825&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplelife Posted June 9, 2023 #17 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Just ordered 2 from Lands End. I am short and they still offer the Tugless Tank suits in the shorter torso option. Thye come in tomorrow and I an anxious to see how they fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slidergirl Posted June 9, 2023 #18 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I custom designed my suit this year. I bought the black Riptide tanking top from Athleta and coral paddle board swim shorts from Carve and an agave Nalu swim shorts from Title Nine. I just like board shorts now. I have a black print bikini bottom if I want, but I like the versatility of the shorts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zauberflote Posted June 25, 2023 #19 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I'm a Land's End tankini fan too. I tend to get the solid dark bottom and have fun with the tops, although I find that the tan that matches my clothes "lines" the best comes from the simplest top-- straight-across cut bodice, thin straps. Very comfy but as others have said, take a while to dry. I don't much mind a damp suit if it's sunny out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
