Consider your existing bikini draw and to an extent your undie draw (Yep! Your underwear draw). Make a note of what you do and don’t want from your next purchase by trying on a few of your current styles, undies included.
What do you want from your swimwear? Just like in your underwear draw, there are different styles for different activities. Think about what you want to do in your swimwear.
