How to shop for the perfect summer swimsuit with the help of Johari!

Before you get lost between the numerous racks and racks of swimsuits in your favorite department store or boutique, there are a few things you should be mindful of to save yourself a huge headache.

The first most important thing you should do is give yourself plenty of time. Don’t rush into buying a bathing suit. Give yourself some time to explore the styles as well as which style looks best for your type of body. Here are references on how to pick the best bathing suit for your body type.

While you search for your beach and pool side suit is: go alone. Save your friends the headache. As much as you would like their comments and opinions, you’ll be better off judging for yourself what looks best on you. After all, some things are meant to be done alone.

Don’t stick to only one store simply, because you trust they have all your fashion needs. And nevertheless limit yourself to one type of swimsuit. With the time, allow yourself to explore as much stores and choices as possible. You can be very surprised at what you can discover on a perfect swimsuit hunt.

Amy Romanowsky, head of swimsuit at J.Crew, offers some useful tips to Glamour Magazine on swimwear do’s and don’ts. She says, “Elle Wood’s signature pickup move in Legally Blonde works [for swimsuit shopping] too.” While in the fitting room, you might want to try a standing squat to see if the back gives you a wedgie. Romanowsky also suggests to, “Raise your arms to test that the top is secure and bend over to make sure there’s not chest spillage.”

Lastly, the fabric of the suit is very important. Some nylon fabric thins out quickly, making your swimsuit not last as much as you’d like; you’ll then have to go through this whole perfect suit shopping experience again, and you most certainly don’t want that. To start your swimsuit hunt, you begin by randomly picking one of Bloomfield Avenue’s boutiques such as Johari, located on 465 Bloomfield Avenue. The swimsuits are already up on the racks ready to be exposed under the bright yellow sun.
