Gap Swimwear Daily Deals

June 2, 2008 01:00 PM | | Posted in sale, gap, swimwear, summer, skin, nautical, tankinis, bandeau, cut out suits, one piece

“THIS SALE HAS ENDED”

The Deal: 25% off women’s swimwear at GapBody until June 12, and their SummerWear campaign ends June 8.

The Lowdown: Find your summer suit both online and in stores. We’ve never understood the $300 bathing suit. Unless it’s covered with Louis Vuitton signature print, you can’t tell that it’s designer. The only requirement should be that it looks great on you. The best swimsuit is the one you don’t feel self-conscious in. If you can lay out on the beach or by the pool feeling at least fairly confident that your swimsuit complements you, you’re successful. There are so many mix and match suits to choose from that they flatter practically any body type. Their site has: triangle tops, halter tops, bandeau tops, tankinis, string bikinis, hipsters, skirt hipsters, boy shorts, and one pieces. We see trends all over their site—polka dots, animal prints, and nautical. Put together your favorites for as little as 20 bucks.

Pictured at top: Cut out one pieces are especially popular now—here’s Gap’s version for $37.50.

Fashion Trend: Nautical

May 22, 2008 05:59 PM | Comments (2) | Posted in fashion, fashion trend, nautical, alloy.com

As summer approaches, it seems that the perennial nautical “trend” is once again making the rounds. Sea-worthy colors and details are all over, and even if a Cosmo on board a 100’ yacht is nowhere in the near future for you, you can still indulge style-wise. Red, white and blue are the colors to consider (though beware of looking like a walking Fourth of July banner), and mostly we like the nautical-inspired details—like rows of buttons, cut canvas skimmers, and boat-ready bags. Some nautical picks to have you sailing into summer (sorry, that was bad . . . ):


Nautical Rope Bag,  $26.50, Alloy.com.

Xhilaration Sally Canvas Skimmers,  on sale $10.49, Target.

Piping Sailor Short, $21.50, Wet Seal
