The Ultimate Guide to Buying a Bathing Suit Online – FLARE

July 30, 2020 Shop

Let’s be honest: the changing room experience does nothing for the already tender task of test-driving a bathing suit. Ordering swimwear online allows for a more relaxed try-on session at home, plus it opens up a whole world of options that might better suit your body, budget and style inclinations. On the flip side, taking the leap and buying a swimsuit without trying it on first comes with its own challenges: relying on a size chart to find the perfect fit, taking a chance on an unfamiliar cut and forgoing the hand feel. Here, all the insider advice you need to feel confident buying your next bather online. read more

A Stylish Man’s Guide to Cool Summer Swimwear in Dallas and Beyond – PaperCity Magazine

June 19, 2020 Shop

Men’s swimwear styles rarely change dramatically from year to year. Granted, every era might have had its standouts.

Inseams have risen, and the fit is somewhat snugger. I think credit should also be given to that pivotal moment that sent many women’s hearts (and perhaps libidos) aflutter: when the new James Bond, Daniel Craig, emerged from the ocean in an oh-so revealing bathing suit in Casino Royale. read more

May 21, 2020 Shop

I can honestly say, without a shadow of a doubt, that my favorite fashion features are written for Father’s Day. Looking back at the highlights of my life, I truly cannot remember how many times I leaned life’s problems and challenges on my own father when I had a bad run of time that needed comforting and encouragement. In fact, most Americans hold dear to them the unforgettable journey of learning, loving and laughing with our father’s throughout our lives.

Considering the challenges we are facing this spring/summer 2020 season, I realize more than ever how important the solid strength of a Father within the family unit means to family survival. A Father’s small gestures seem to catch the moment with a goal to win and go a long way into the future. read more
