10 Swimsuits That Will Make You Trade Your Krispy Kremes for Carrots - Stylehive

The weather is still nasty frigid, but that won€™t stop the invasion of the swimsuits! Whether you€™re gearing up for spring break, a mid-winter vacation, or simply for the fabulousness that comes with a change in seasons - it€™s time to leave the comfort of Denialville and accept the fact that the days of hiding behind piles of chunky layers are numbered.

There€™s always a silver lining, though. And in this case, it€™s the fact that there are tons of really fabulous swimsuits out there, due in part to the fact that some of our favorite designers, including Marc Jacobs, Diane Von Furstenberg, Milly, Badgley Mischka and more have ventured into swim-wear.

As a bonus to help you gear up for the swimsuit season, here are some of my top tips for bathing suit shopping:

Never ever go when you're feeling blah. Be it bloat, a breakout, whatever the case, if you feel bad, bathing suit shopping will be agony!
Speak up! Don't be afraid to ask the sales-girls for help, they know more than you think. I know this because I used to BE a sales girl. Trust me, they've seen and heard it all. If you want a suit that will enhance your bust, or want something to camouflage your hips, or want to look a little more curvy ASK and you shall receive!
Bring a friend. Just don't over analyze her every utterance when you ask 'how do I look.' If she's a good friend, just trust that she won't let you expose yourself in public looking ridiculous.
