The wrong bikini can ruin a day at the beach and magnify all of your body’s flaws. French brand Eres is a 40-year-old company that makes luxury swimwear that’s pretty pricey, but it never lets you down. This Eres Swim Show Bandeau Bikini Top ($210) and Eres Swim Jane Bikini Bottom is made with a fabric that sculpts the body and doesn’t require padding or boning, plus the material is dipped in a potion that helps it keep it shape so it always looks good, no matter how many times you wear it. If Karl Lagerfeld will shoot Eres next to Chanel, the swimsuits are probably worth the money. But if you still aren’t convinced, check out the fashion math:
If you wear this bikini to the beach or pool 20 times over the course of eight summers, it’s cheaper than a bottle of soda. We understand the allure of $10 bikinis from a bin, but they don’t last past one summer. You will wear this bikini over and over for years to come and it will still look good.
