Bathing Suite Recs

[BoardC3]

Ive been having a tough time finding a decent bathing suit or two, anyone have any recomendations for good looking bathing suits (preferibly one that I could get in nyc tomorrow afternoon before heading to the beach tomorrow)

Go to Barneys CO-OP and I'm sure you'll find something. Maybe even on sale.

Go to Patagonia, in Soho or on the upper west side and get some plain board shorts. They will last you years, and work well, plus the cuts they offer are great.

just go to the quiksilver shop in soho, most of the good suits at the co-op are quiksilver on markup anyway. they are knee length, not particularly baggy and reasonably priced (~50).

I decided to go with a roaring 20's inspired one-piece this summer.

The old ball & chain convinced me to drop $160 on a pair of Vilebrequin trunks. I went with the traditional (shorter) cut that hits about mid-thigh. The shape is really nice, and the suit actually does have features that help justify the price:

- limited runs on all designs

- comes with an airtight plastic wallet for the pool

- some technology to prevent bubbles and rabbit ears (pockets hanging out)

- plastic travelling to bag in case you have to travel with a wet suit

- 15-minute drying time -- or so the saleswoman said. That's proven to be bullshit though.

All worth $160? If you're a sucker for premium brands, probably. If your a tech nerd, definitely not.

Ultimately, I'm still getting used to how colorful they are. They've definitely grown on me somewhat. Fortunately, I don't chill in the Hamptons, where I'm led to believe that every moneyed douche bag owns a pair of these.
