With the heat index climbing over 100 degrees, it’s hotter than ever outside, and the best way to cope with these temperatures is to strip down, put on a swimsuit and take a dip in the water.

If you are due for a little cleaning—we all are, to be honest—we're here to fill you in on a few swimsuits and accessories that will help you feel better about tossing out the old and making room for the new. With the help of some of our favorite stores located just around the corner at The Shoppes at EastChase, we hope you are inspired to look extra fabulous this summer when you take that dip in the pool, walk on the beach or boat ride on the lake.
