While we're definitely reaching for sweaters [1] over swimsuits these days, are we the only ones eagerly anticipating warmer weather [2]? And, we're not just talking spring, we're imagining hot days where it's possible to stay outside — and even swim — from sunrise to sunset.
Now, we do realise there are still plenty of places around the country where one can take a dip year-round [3], and surf, paddle, and workout beachside daily (without freezing your tail off). Whether you're in the former group or the latter, you're going to want to check out the bathing suits at Athleta. Styles from bikinis to rashguards can be mixed and matched as you wish, and many come in A-DD sizes [4], too.
Since the only deep dive we can actually do today is into Athleta's swim department [5], we gathered up the pieces we're going use to make our poolside fantasy a reality ASAP. (And, while we're over here dreaming, we dare you to pick just one.)
