Nothing is more challenging as we pass through certain milestones than trying on a bathsuit – forget actually wearing one out in public.  We have all been at the beach and noticed a few of our fellow women warriors making some pretty grievous style choices while we sit glued to our chairs enveloped in the “cover up” – hastily purchased before exiting the department store.

Not here today to offer any inspired solutions but to simply say that we stand with you, but here are a few tips that friends have suggested.

  1. Never buy a bathing suit in February.  If you are going to a warm climate, use last year’s. Or buy one when you get to your destination and your legs have even just a hint of a tan.
  2. Golf shorts made of some almost bathing suit like material make an acceptable look and cover some of the generally difficult “areas.”
  3. Midi dresses that are thankfully in style, work – until you have to swim so be prepared to move quickly from chair to water source.
  4. Unless you are really good at draping, stay away from the large pieces of chiffon that the sales team so deftly folded around you at the store – you can end up in a tangled mess.
  5. There are no good choices so simply buy the least expensive and go live your life.

We all have pictures of our Grannies in some of these looks and really we can not look any worse, can we?
