Why Thrift for Swimwear

Second hand swimwear offers a host of benefits that go beyond just saving money. Here are a few reasons why you should consider checking out a Discovery Shop for your next swimsuit:

  • Affordability: Find swimwear at a fraction of the cost. Spending less will allow you to splurge on other items for your trip or summer activities. HINT: Occasionally, you might find designer swimwear at a fraction of the original price, offering you high-end fashion for less.

  • Unique Finds: You can find one-of-a-kind pieces that aren’t available in regular stores, giving you a unique style edge. HINT: look for retro styles that have come back in fashion, like high-waisted bikinis or one-piece swimsuits with bold patterns.

  • Eco-Friendly: By purchasing second-hand swimwear, you're contributing to reducing waste and promoting sustainable fashion.

  • Functional: Sometimes you are able to find a retired drysuit or other athletic options to support your next triathlon or training event.

Style Tips for Swimwear

Finding the perfect swimsuit can be a challenge. These tips will help make your search one that allows you to show your personal style:

  • Mix and Match: Don’t be afraid to mix and match different tops and bottoms. This not only creates a unique look but also allows you to find the best fit for your body.

  • Know Your Body Type: Understanding your body shape is key to finding a swimsuit that flatters your figure. For example, high-waisted bottoms can accentuate your waist, while halter tops can be a chic way to provide extra support up top.

  • Accessorize: Don’t forget to check out the accessories section for items like cover-ups, hats, and beach bags that can complement your swimwear.
