Lands’ End Swimsuit Review

I confess that when Lands’ End asked me to review one of their swimsuits, I was a bit apprehensive. Swimsuit shopping is not a favorite activity of mine. I struggle with knowing what kind of suit to get and it seems I always pick a black one.
I was relieved and excited to find out that Lands’ End has a video explaining the different body types. In addition to this, they sell swimsuits specific to your body type! With this information, I suddenly felt more at ease about my swimsuit shopping.
I clicked on the Lands’ End website, clicked on swimwear, and then clicked on the shape for my body. Immediately, a selection swimsuits appeared which were designed to be more flattering for my shape. What was even more surprisingly is that they weren’t all black or solid colors. There were some nice prints. I pondered upon this and decided to go for it. I chose the polka dot floral enhancing v-neck swimshape tank swimsuit.
I am extremely pleased with this swimsuit. It is the nicest swimsuit I have ever owned. The suit has a built-in seamless bra and figure smoothing panels. I also like that the fabric provides UPF 50 sun protection. This suit feels great and is definitely well made.
By the way, I have a special surprise for you all this week. (hint, hint!)
Have you tried any Lands’ End swimsuits? What is your favorite feature?

I have a couple of LE swim suits. They have outlasted anything I’ve ever owned. Very nice quality. Well worth the money (in my opinion) but I’m always looking for sales, because my budget isn’t that great in the clothing department.
Be sure to subscribe to their news. They’ve been doing free shipping and tons of discounts this year.
I despise swimsuit shopping. I have heard fab things about Lands End, but have never bought a swimsuit from there. I need a new swimsuit so bad, but have never wanted to take the plunge and spending the insane amount of money for a suit that looks good. Instead I find myself wearing something I hate and that does not look flattering – just to have something to wear. Right now, I look like a pink elephant – because apparently the last time I went swim suit shopping my better judgement took the day off . . .
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Lands End swim suits… for the ENTIRE family… from baby to mom to dad. LOVE them. They LAST. Well made. Flattering. Don’t stretch out and fade…
SOOOO worth the money.. wish I could have one in a dozen of their styles!
MY FAVORITE though…. as a mom now with a mom body… the swim mini… in my case, i like the mini swim mini. LOVE It!!!
I just visited the website and had fun utilizing the virtual model feature. I found a great suit, but like others who have posted, I am always hesitant to spend that amount of money on a suit…even though I know I will get a ton of use out of it!
That is a cute suit! I am off to see what they have that doesn’t enhance the chest area!
Thanks for the recommendation.
I haven’t heard of LE, but it looks cool. The video-tutorial about body-types – VERY nice. Being in the store is just sooo bad, I disguise it.
I am happy for you that you got a new suit – it looks very nice!
