It’s the time of the year to shop for a new bathing suit! Well, maybe a little early, but one cannot overanticipate a great day at the beach. And you don’t want to wait till the last minute when all the great bathing suits are picked over. And what if you’re invited on a surprise beach weekend to the Bahamas? But shopping for a swimsuit is such an ordeal. You’re pale as a ghost…and clothing stores make you try the suits over your undergarments—that’s flattering! Before you head to the mall…

If you are a woman, put on a pair of panty hose that are a few shades darker than your current skin tone. You’ll boost your self-esteem with your legs looking their sleek, sun-kissed best when you’re in the changing room. And by the way, when we say “put on panty hose,” we mean “ put on panty hose only.” Meanwhile, on top, wear as minimalist a bra as your physique will allow. This lets you see the real fit of the swimsuit.

If you are a man, we can think of no constructive reason for you to wear panty hose while swimsuit shopping, but we wouldn’t stand in your way, either.
