It was fun attending Lands End preview to get me more excited for spring/summer to hurry up and get here and my cruise, which I just booked. It also helps me to start shopping early and planning my wardrobe for the new year. I was excited to see what was in store this time for their swimwear. I’m going to make it my business to get to the beach a lot more next year. How could I not with the amazing collection that Lands End delivered ?
I’ve always loved a good Tankini top. There’s the Scoopneck with higher neckline and wider straps, the v-neck that ties at the neck and enhances the bust and the Halter Dresskini top which is the coverage of a swimdress which you can wear over your swim bottoms.
Speaking of bottoms the High-rise bottoms caught my eye which is 1 1/2″ to 2 ” higher than mid rise bottoms for more coverage and available with tummy control. New item the Adjustable Mini Swimmini has adjustable side tie changes, attached panty and also tummy control. Love this! Another new item are the boy shorts in deep sea or black eclipse dots or plain colors.
Lots of paisley and deep sea patterns, stripes and polka dots.
The Long Sleeve Swim Tee is new and fashionable with UPF 50 sun protection. It’s designed to wear over your suit top and us as soft as your tee. Lightweight even when you’re in the water. Also a great cover-up for cool air. Attendees received one of these as a gift. I love the multicolor stripe.
The Adjustable Swim Tunic, another favorite is another must have. I love clothing with side ties. This can be worn in or out of the water. It’s so cute I’d probably wear it out of the water. The Sleeveless Swim Tee (new) is great for being active around or in the water and comes with the nautical embroidery on the bottom right hem.
For over 30 years the Tugless Tank has been fans favorite. Fits and flatters almost every body and doesn’t ride up or shift out of place.
The Slender Tunic provides extra coverage for hips without a full skirt.
Slender Grecian provides modest coverage. Shirring around the middle helps flatten and flatter right where you want. The new style Blackberry Paisley is one of my favorites.
Sandals, flip flops and slip ons are perfect for the beach and boardwalk.
Gatas Shoes are sandals that were made for quick getaways. Just slip on and go. The molded, EVA footbed protects your toes from the hot pavement. Comes in a slide or slip-on. Cork-wrapped flip flop has the lands end branded logo medallion. A ribbed rubber outsole helps avoid skids on a wet boardwalk. I don’t know who doesn’t love comfortable sandals. I can’t wait to sport these on my feet.
For the active woman on the move who loves swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding and beach volleyball there are plenty to choose from. Fabric made with Xtra Life Lycra spandex fiber that is resistant to chlorine. Also superior shape retention means an active, long life for your suit. The Triangle Bikini Top has a deep V neckline to enhance the bust. Love this!!! Multi colored. Zip- front Rash Guard that you wear over your swim top for extra coverage and sun protection with longer elbow-length sleeves. Cover-up shorts comes with or without panties.
The nautical look is personally one of my favorites with a Lands End. Now with the new textured fabrics that hides imperfections I’m on cloud 9. The V-neck one piece is drop dead gorgeous there is a band at the waist and twisted cord ties at the center front. It comes in Rosa Red and Navy Storm. I’ll take one in each color. The Sweetheart Tankini Top has stripes under the bust that add visual interest. Also, the V-Neck Tankini Top laced deep V adds a modern edge. You can reveal or conceal with the adjustable front tie that lets you choose the level of coverage.
I hope to have a few of these on my cruise and for the summer of 2015 and beyond.
