Lands' End Women's Petite 9" Board Shorts

I got both a swim skort and these swim shorts. I wore the skort once and it's going to be donated to a local thrift shop. These shorts, though, are wonderful! They are swim material, but have less of that annoying rustle sound. The pockets are pretty good, but I wish they were a little deeper--don't try to put too much in them, but they do hold your stuff (and your hands). The length is wonderful. Now I won't have that annoying chub rub feeling that I hate. These were comfy immediately. Another win for Lands' End.

This swimsuit from Lands' End is so perfect, I'm convinced it was designed by a team of swimsuit scientists who studied my body in secret and whispered, “We can fix this.” It's got just the right amount of stretch, coverage, and magical fabric sorcery to make me feel like a glamorous mermaid—except I can actually walk to the snack bar without tripping over a tail. The colors haven't faded, the straps haven't slipped, and somehow, even after an entire afternoon of cannonballs, I still look “poolside chic” instead of “washed-up seal.” Lands' End, you've outdone yourselves—I'm ready for summer, and possibly a swimsuit modeling career I never knew I needed.
