Niki Bezzant: Why is it so hard to find a good pair of togs?

THREE KEY FACTS Swimwear sales expert says it’s rare to find a woman who’s “not even a little bit daunted” by the idea of shopping for swimmers. Despite the high-cut trend, a wide range of swimwear options, including boylegs and swim skirts, is available. Advice is to look out for brands that produce trusted styles repeatedly.

OPINION I’m in a department store changing room trying on swimsuits and I can’t move. The one-piece I’m attempting to get into is halfway up; the bottom half is on my body, but my arms are pinned to my sides by the top half. I can’t get it up and I can’t get it down, either.



I’m literally stuck, and I can’t stop laughing. Were my sister not in the room with me, I probably wouldn’t be laughing, because I’d be panicking about potentially never getting free. Luckily, the situation is resolved with some tugging and two sets of hands.

I’ll never know how I look in that swimsuit..
