Bikinis and one-piece bathing suits... are they the only options we have to splash about in this summer? Let's explore bathing suit alternatives that still keep you looking chic.
In today's video I discuss various bathing suit styles that are ideal for being active and out in the sun all day.
Let's have a look first at the tankini option. Tankinis are great because they can be paired with whatever bottom style you like... traditional swimsuit bottoms, skirt bottoms, or short bottoms. There is often ruching in the tummy area and support in the bust. I love this tankini from Lands' End paired with this mini skirt option. To check out all of Lands' End's swim suit options, click here.
If you plan to be in the hot sun all day and want to protect your skin, or if you are going to be very active (think waterpark, or beach volley ball) consider a rash guard. These come in varying sleeve lengths and give your skin extra protection from the sun. I love this rash guard that is inspired by the classic Breton stripe. I am wearing it with beach shorts.

Lands End has always had awesome swimwear. You can mix and match every style of top and bottom. I wear a tankini top with high-waisted bottoms with modestly cut legs, but they have everything from high-cut bikini bottoms to boy shorts to your swim skirt. When I first saw your swimsuit, Jennifer, I thought you were wearing their one-piece swim dress. I also have a Lands End tank suit that's at least 25 years old and the stretch and elastic are like brand new. Love all the choices. You can really customize your swimwear. Reasonable prices, too, and frequent sales.
Dear Vierka, thank you so much! ♥️
DD- Yes! Lands' End is such a great resource. I buy a lot of my children's clothing from them too and always look for the sales.
Dear Jennifer, thank you for great blog and books! I hope you do not consider my comment too intrusive but I think in order of transparency, you ought to inform the readers about why you do not promote bikinis or traditional one piece suits. You talk about 'chic' alternatives to bikinis etc and I find it hard to believe that being chic is the only issue here. Modesty does not equal chic, not always anyway. I do respect that some individuals choose certain type of fashion but others are not free, but forced to make modest choices. These individuals are often women. On your blog you are of course free to promote any content you wish to promote but I would appreciate your honesty about reasons behind it, out of respect for your readers, who then can make a choice if your brand is compatible with their beliefs.
Long term supporter- I don't understand your comment. I have no problem with bikinis and one-pieces and own some myself. I am using this post as a way to share alternatives for people who are looking for them. Thanks and have a great day!
LLBean has some really cute tankinis with skirts, shorts etc, similar to Lands End. I feel comfortable around anybody in those styles and don't need to worry about body parts popping out or showing more than most people probably want to see. Love the style of that white dress too!
Here in Australia, a "rashie" is an absolute necessity if you are in the sun for any length of time. I was interested to see yours was quite loose, I'm used to them being much more form-fitting. I pair mine with medium-length swim shorts - super comfortable and carefree.
