Mini Swim Skirt

I own 6 Lands End swim outfits (at least), including 5 mini swim skirts, one swim bike short, mid-kini tops and full length tankini tops. I mix and match these items. I have strayed now and then and purchased other brands on-line, but they consistently prove to be lower quality than the Lands End brand. I use these suits every day for water aerobic and water strength training, and for leisure swimming. My requirements are that the suit must offer compressive support, be very durable and chlorine resistant, resist pilling, and the legs of the bottoms must remain in place and not ride up. I do not purchase swim tops without a built in bra, and I prefer an underwire for the support it gives during workouts. I own bottoms with and without the tummy control, and the fabric is substantial in both. The min swim skirt, ruffled or without ruffle, is shorter than the regular swim skirt, still covers the top of the thigh, but doesn’t get it the way of leg moves during water aerobics as much as the regular skirt. I appreciate the cute prints that have been released this year (the poppy, the black paisley, the berry floral, the polka dots, the wine iris print), and the styling of the mini ruffled skirt. So, so cute and I get so many compliments and questions about where I buy my suits. The Mid-kini top is new, and I own black, poppy, and a few others. They cover more of the body; on me, coming to around the bottom of the rib cage. A more modest look on a woman of 71 than a bikini top, but still an updated look. I am 5 foot 4 and weigh 130 pounds, wear a size 6 top and size 4 bottom. I was asked to write a review of several of my most recent swim top and bottom purchases, so I hope this review is helpful to those considering Lands End swim garments.
