Summertime is just few months away and women are already shopping for a new swimwear. Everyone wants to look the best they can for the upcoming beach season.
I was pleasantly surprised to find a lot of new styles and colors in Macy's, where I went to shop for a swimsuit.
There are few private labels that work for Macy's. Some of them are in "better" category, like INC, Alfani, Morgan Taylor and some in "moderate" - Jennifer Moore, Innovation Sports and Style & Co. However, only INC represents Macy's in their swimwear department. This section has a name "Pool Colors" and locates on the third floor, by the back wall (behind outerwear), between lingerie and a junior section.
The INC has three racks on the floor and surrounded by different brands, including Calvin Klein, Speedo, Nike, Jantzen, Nautica, Polo Sports, Anne Cole, Adrienne Vittadini, Miracle Suite, La Blanka, Sirena, Roxanne, Dotti Cover-ups, Wearabouts, VM Sport, Delta Burke, IT Figures and many more. Styles and fabric vary depending on the designer or the company that has made it.
The INC has two major styles this season: solid plus the matching skirt and two-piece, also available with the matching skirt. The solid swimsuits come in different colors. Black and sangria with a mesh top is made from 84% nylon and 16% Lycra spandex.
Other colors include silver gray; purple, red or black with white trimming; royal blue, cyan with a white line across (same style is also available in sangria and pink with a baby-blue line and red and hot pink with an orange line). Some have a plain cut and some have spagetti straps that are crossing on the back. All of them cost $ 74.00
The two-piece comes in black, royal blue with white or cyan trim; purple and pink; turquoise; gray; blue and white colors. The price for this swimsuits is also $ 74.00 and the matching skirt costs $ 38.00
