How to Care For Your Designer Swimsuits?

How to Care for Your Designer Swimsuits?

Why invest in great quality swimwear if you are going to treat it poorly and only get a few wears out of it? 

 

Follow these 6 easy care steps:

1) If you must swim in a Chlorine Pool...
Ensure to frequently check your pool and hot tub's chlorine content. If it is too high, the excessive amount of chlorine can break down the spandex of the swimsuit, which will ruin the shape of your swimwear. Also, too much chlorine can accelerate fading of the fabric so spending long days in the pool are not recommended for designer suits.

2) Avoid Rough Surfaces
Sitting and/or rubbing against textured pool decks and any rough edges can ruin the smooth and luxurious texture of your swimsuit so pay close attention to surfaces.

3) Be Careful with Tanning Oils and Sunscreen
Avoid getting excess lotions and oils on your swimwear. Sunscreen, tanning oils, and cosmetics can be harmful to swimsuits because they will stain fabrics. Make sure to rinse and wash your swimwear as soon as possible if you do.

4) Rinse in Cold Water After Wearing
Rinse your swimsuits in cold water after each wear. By rinsing your suits in cold water, you will help remove the excess salt and chlorine which is an important step in the care of your swimwear.

5) Do Not Machine Wash Your Designer Bikini
Avoid washing designer bikinis in washing machines. Washing machines can ruin the shape, fabric, and padding, as well as any delicate embellishments, stones, or beading. Therefore wash your swimwear by hand in cold water. Always use a mild soap that is meant for delicate fabrics.

6) Lay Out To Dry, Avoid Direct Sunlight Which Can Cause Fading
Gently squeeze the water out of your designer bikini after washing. Be gentle and do not wring or twist your bikini, as this could ruin its shape. Do not dry your swimsuits in a dryer and do not dry it in direct sunlight.

Top 10 Best Movie Swimsuits

Here at AWB we are constantly watching the trends and scouring the web for the latest and greatest in what is up and coming in swimwear. We are genuinely surprised by what comes stomping down the runway and the never ending imagination of their designers. It's amazing to see how one individual suit has the ability to stand out in a crowd and leave a mark on the world that lasts forever. With that thought in mind we put together our list of the top 10 best movie swimsuits which will forever have a place in history.

Raquel Welch - One Million Years B.C.
One of the most recognizable bikini images of all time would have to be Raquel Welch in her animal skin bikini in One Million Years BC. The cave man look definitely agrees with her.

 

Bo Derek - 10

Bo Derek stole the show in this iconic nude one piece bathing suit. This scene as well as this movie helped to seal Bo Derek into history and launch her into stardom.

 

Brooke Shields - The Blue Lagoon

Getting stranded on a deserted island never looked so good. Brooke Shields makes a torn and tattered bathing suit look fashionably chic.

  

Phoebe Cates - Fast Times at Ridgemont High

As Phoebe's character climbs from out of the pool, a fantasy was born for many a teenage boy. With her slim build and racy red bikini hearts were beating fast as this slow motion scene began. Just when adolescent boys around the world couldn't imagine anything better she proved them wrong.

 

Angelina Jolie - Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life

Ever the strong and sultry female, Angelina Jolie leaves us speechless in this simple yet sexy black halter bikini. This cut and style really helps to accentuate her athletic build and is the perfect choice for Lara Croft's busy ass kicking schedule.

 

Cameron Diaz and Demi Moore - Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle 

This is one of our favorite movie scenes. Not only do they individually look amazing but the full screen shot including both of them in the frame is almost too much to take. It's hard to say who is the true scene stealer here but if we absolutely have to choose, even though we call it a tie, our vote goes to Demi. She is absolutely killing it and proves that age is just a number!

 Halle Berry - James Bond: Die Another Day
As she emerged from the ocean in her itty bitty orange bikini she fully epitomized the essence of a Bond girl. Dangerous and beautiful, she is a force to be reckoned with.

Jessica Alba - Into the Blue
No one would be surprised to hear that Jessica Alba looked good in her bathing suit. But boy were we wrong. You heard us right. She didn't look good, she looked ridiculously amazing! One can only begin to wonder what her work out routine must have been like for the filming of this movie. No matter what it was it certainly paid off because with little coverage in this skimpy bottom it left very little to the imagination. 

Gwyneth Paltrow - The Talented Mr. Ripley
In the Talented Mr. Ripley Gwyneth's character is relaxing in the sun in this adorable high waisted two piece bikini. With ruffled trim and a festive pattern the suit is almost as impressive as her mile long legs.

FUN IN THE SUN IN...

 

O'ahu, Hawaii

O'ahu, Hawaii, also known as "The Gathering Place" is destination to approximately 4.5 million people annually. As an island, the beach is never too far away and provides a variety of activities to suit anyone's specific desires. From Waikiki's city like beach environment to the North Shore's many secluded hideaways, O'ahu has it all. What makes this particular Hawaiian island so different from the others? It has everything anyone could ever want all in one location. It is the home to the University of Hawaii, Pearl Harbor, and Honolulu, the state capital. It provides a plethora of shopping, from gift stores to luxury boutiques. You want more? They give it to you...surfing, scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, hiking, fine dining, nightlife, music and so much more! We have selected our top 4 must see things to do in O'ahu.

Pearl Harbor is the site of a National Historical landmark that commemorates the attack on the United States naval base on December 7, 1941. This series of events is what led the US into WWII. Today you can remember the past and pay tribute by visiting the USS Arizona Memorial and the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. Make sure you plan ahead because there is plenty to see and do and the waits can be lengthy. 

Looking to refuel on the go? Stop by for some of O'ahu's famous food trucks for a quick bite that is anything but fast food.  Keep an eye out for Giovanni's Shrimp Truck featuring shrimp scampi, lemon butter shrimp and of course the jumbo garlic hot dog. Now I'm hungry!

Trying to find a great place to snorkel? Look no further than Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve Park. Prior to gaining access to the beach visitors must watch a short video to educate them on the preserve. It is well worth the time and entrance fee as the bay is filled with an exotic assortment of marine life. There is no shortage of colorful fish and coral in this underwater paradise.

 What trip to Hawaii would be complete without a Luau? Featuring traditional Hawaiian fare and of course Hula dancing! While the dancing styles can vary from Polynesian, Tahitian, and Samoan, one thing is for sure, whichever you see will be sure to entertain. My personal favorite is the fire dancing!

With so many activities to choose from there is never a dull moment. So whether you prefer to hang up your hammock and relax or are looking for an adventure filled getaway, O'ahu is the place for you. Aloha!

Browse the options within that range. We created the image above to help out. White, black, silver, warm pinks and cool blues are always fashionable, look beautiful in the sun and are universally flattering. See the full spectrum of options on www.allwetbeachwear.com.

White After Labor Day?

Who wears white after Labor Day? All Wet Beachwear says, everyone should! That’s right, the old adage, never wear white after Labor Day is now out of style. Just look at some of the fall fashions coming down the runway and anyone can see that wearing white after the first weekend in September is the latest fashion trend.

It use to be that fall and winter fashion dictated that one wear dark colors like oranges, browns and good old black. But the times are changing and fashion trend setters like Gucci are sending models down the fall/winter runway in white.  This can apply to your winter swimwear as well.

Whether you're taking a winter vacation or soaking up the sun in your back yard don't count out white swimwear.  The 2011 line is out and includes fantastic one and two piece suits.  White sandals you ask? Yes footwear in white is also a fashion do.

Its almost 2011 and times are changing. Forget the old school way of thinking and don't pack away your white.

Kids Swimwear Can Be Stylish Too

School is back in session but that doesn’t mean the summer has to end.  For those who live in states with seasons there are still several weeks left of warm afternoons. For those living in sunny states, like Florida, California, Texas and Nevada, weekend getaways to the beach can happen all year long.

As you already know, All Wet Beachwear has some of the best designer swimwear for mom. But, did you know we also carry top notch designer swimwear for your kids too!?! Teach your daughters how to keep stylish by getting them the best swimwear and of course accessories too!

One of our favorites is the Jemima P Girls Maillot 1-Piece featuring yellow ducks on blue! The suit is absolutely adorable and perfect for kids who love to play in the sand.

Ducks not your daughters favorite pattern? Try the Cherry Pie 1-Piece or 2-Piece featuring blue with cherries! Both the 1-Piece and Bikini are fun, comfortable and of course very stylish.
