47. A comfortable and supportive swimsuit

Aerie Bathing Suits, available at American Eagle, from $24.95

Aerie uses unretouched photos of women modeling its swimsuits and lingerie, which has been empowering and exciting to see on a national stage. After struggling with my own body image and not seeing myself reflected in most swimwear ads, I decided to give the brand's Longline Scoop Bikini Top and high-waisted bottoms a chance; and the duo has quickly become a favorite. Aerie really delivered on a quality swim line, and I know these pieces will last me through more than just a season or two.

The material is stretchy and snug, the bottoms are form-fitting but not taut, and the top offers supportive coverage. In terms of size, color, print, and silhouettes, the options are endless. I am forever loyal now and eager to shop the brand's new styles when the time comes. Turns out that bathing suit shopping can be fun. —Dominique McIntee, editorial fellow
