Summer is right around the corner! Are you ready for bathing suit season?

I am not, but that doesn't mean I'm not bathing suit shopping! What's my go-to for a day at the beach? A black two-piece swimsuit.

Herewith: my choices for this season.

1.
OldNavy

Old Navy, has, without a doubt, the best selection of inexpensive mix and match tops and bottoms.

They aren't heavily constructed or overly complicated but they are servicable and stylish and the prices are incredible.

2.
JCrew

JCrew has dozens of options. Always on trend, not overpriced, JCrew's swimsuits are beautifully constructed and flattering.

3.
LandsEnd

Year after year, Lands' End provides an amazing array of choices for those of us who want to cover up just a little more. Well known for customer service and lots of fit options, Lands' End has an extraordinary reputation for quality swimwear.

4.
LLBean

LL Bean suits are American classics from a company that provides unsurpassed quality and service. Bean's suits are more traditional and offer flattering, comfortable fits at reasonable prices in a wide range of sizes.

5.

Looking for a little more comfort with slightly more coverage? Always For Me offers gorgeous suits in plus sizes with great customer service and terrific prices.

There are options out there for each of us and you can't go wrong with a black two-piece, so...hit the beach!

I too usually opt for a simple black bikini ...they always look simple yet chic. I have a drawer full of bathing suits but always reach for the black one. And this year, I actually bought three new suits with some color ...but each have a black base, lol

I LOVE LE's swimsuits! They're flattering, they're not overpriced (especially since they have sales all season) and you can order more than one to test sizing because Sears takes the LE returns. No need to bother with shipping to send back unwanted items.

I am a HUGE fan of Lands End suits... be sure to check out their OVERSTOCKS section, I found a DARLING black and white print tankini for $30!

I've almost always worn black bathing suits! I'm kind of excited that the Assets line by Sara Blakely has a swim dress that's super cute and much more reasonable than the Spanx line (in black, of course). After two kids in three years I think I'm a wee bit beyond the bikini for this season, but maybe sometime in the future I won't feel that way.

Definitely check out Essential Swimwear as well. They have some great tankinis and everything is seperates. I am large on top and small on bottom so I have to get an extra large top and a medium bottom. I love their styles too.

I've been thinking about getting a black suit this year. I usually wear great bold colors, but I think I want something simple/sleek to add to my bathing suit options this year.
