After months of covering up 90% of our skin’s surface area to avoid frostbite, the idea of wearing a swimsuit again sounds straight-up liberating. Whether you’re heading somewhere tropical this winter or just dreaming of summer, we can all agree that browsing through our favourite swim styles in the Centre right now is an ideal way to spend the next few minutes. There are styles perfect for enjoying the ocean waves, or if a poolside lounger is more your speed we’ve got you covered there too – just don’t forget the sunscreen.
