Best of Boston

If you’re like 99 percent of the female population, chances are you’ve got some sort of phobia about swimsuit shopping. Bloomie’s helps set insecurities aside with flattering lighting, confidence-building mirrors, and a massive selection of demure one-pieces, teeny bikinis, and everything in between. Helpful (but not pushy) salespeople are available when you want a real-world opinion on that Juicy Couture two-piece. And if you’d like, they’re ready to show more suitable alternatives from the likes of Vix, Shoshanna, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and more.
