After a particularly cold winter, springtime has come back to Canberra! The daffodils have begun to bloom and the weather is set to get warmer, so it’s time to start looking for those new swimmers!
It can be a difficult search in a beach less city like Canberra for those who don’t know where to look, but luckily we are here to help!
A natural place to start is one of the surf shops around Canberra, and Ozmosis is one that certainly stands out. It’s large, bright name beckons customers towards the entrance of the Canberra Centre.
Those who enter will not be disappointed with the range of styles offered. This is a place that sells comfortable and shapely bikini designs with a little more covering than the average stringy number. These supportive beauties are structurally sound, balancing the line between too little and too much material.
However if in search of the barely-there bikini, head to the direct Canberra Outlet Centre in Fyshwick. Ocean & Earth is bursting with colours and patterns for every taste for reasonable prices. The dazzling array of choices may take a little time to find that perfect pair of bathers, especially with the limitless distractions in this department store, including those summer fashion necessities and accessories to set off your stylish swimmer.
The choice in styles and in colours continues at Valley Girl, upstairs in the Canberra Centre. Amongst shoes, accessories and some seriously cute clothing, lives some lovely and inexpensive swimwear – such as delicious strapless belly-covering pieces and others that show off every curve – all just waiting to be taken to the beach for the summer.
Elegance personified (for a bit of a jump in price ) is available at David Jones. Brands such as Jets and MinkPink vary traditional shapes into more abstract ones with strategically cut one-pieces and curvy two-pieces adding a little more variety into the world of Canberra swimwear. Colours are used sparingly but very well. Other brands such as Sunseeker and Speedo offer alternative styles and any of these brands look good – both in and out of the water.
For the last word in practicality, the sporty swimsuit can be found in places such as Rebel. One-pieces, board shorts and goggles are all dynamically
coloured and designed to aid the wearer in the pursuit of swimming sports. Simple and stylish, as well as being particularly suited to the serious swimmer, Rebel is a great place to search for swimwear without frills or complicated ties.
See? Even in Canberra there is a swimsuit to suit everyone. From practicality to the purely beautiful, the search for the perfect swimsuit (or two) for summer promises to be a successful one.
