If you weren't already aware from those sun-filled snaps and bare-legged 'grams, warmer weather — aka beach season — is well on its way. And while daydreams of ditching our layers and spreading out on the sand have been occupying our minds, mentally we're not quite ready for what that really means: swimsuit shopping.
Because sure, we've browsed the best bottoms and tummy-flattering styles, but going into the dressing room and trying them on? Now that's the real struggle. The odd sizing, those dressing room mirrors, feeling confident enough to snap a selfie — it's a slow process to get comfy as the season begins. The thing we all can take comfort in, however, is knowing that we're not alone. Read on for every emotion we've experienced while shopping for swimwear and see if you've been there too.

OK, you know what? It’s one of those things that just looks better in person.
