Honestly I am much more comfortable in a one piece bathing suit but the last few summers I’ve enjoyed all the stylish options when it comes to shopping for a two piece suit. There are so many stylish one pieces and now with the high-rise bottom trend and a vintage fair, I feel like women over 40 have a lot more to choose from along with being comfortable.

Boys & Arrow Leopard top paired with L-Space bottoms.

This two-piece from Tory Burch was a great summer find. The straps detach so if you decide to go for a swim or paddle boarding you’ll be ready for action. This shell necklace is from Mala By Love

The bottoms I’m wearing here are from Cami & Jax and again I paired it with the Boy’s & Arrow Leopard top. Cami & Jax is a local brand created by two sisters from Hawaii and I adore them! The bottoms have that vintage feel and I’m a fan of that style, especially if you no longer choose to wear a bikini. If you have a chance stop by the boutique in Santa Monica you’ll have a one on one experience to find the suit that’s right for you.

I look for swim suits that move around as much as I do (that’s a lot) and stay in place. The brands I’ve shown here are practical, classic and fashionable. The top I’m wearing is from Ereś, their suits are timeless and the wrap is from Hermes. Investing in a few high-end items will take you through years of sunshine and rosé.
