Mix’n’Not-Really-Match Bikini Sale at Nordstrom Rack

If you’re the type of person who collects swimwear en mass, whose underwear drawer has more bikini bottoms than actual underwear, this is your sale. Nordstrom Rack is offloading a bunch of their summer swimwear, and you can find bikini separates starting at $5.85 each.

Some of the swimwear brands you can find in the sale are The Bikini Lab, Lucky Brand, Carmen Marc Valvo, BECCA, and Sole East Swim. Sizing is kind of all over the place due to the whole “clearance” thing, but there are styles available in sizes from XS-XL, and lots of plus size swimwear options, too.

There aren’t many matching tops and bottoms in the sale, but there are a few. I’ve linked the bottoms under the corresponding tops where applicable.

On the off-chance you love to collect mix’n’match bikini tops and bottoms, you’re in luck. This is purely  sale for those looking to bulk up their swimsuit options. Bikini bottoms start at $5.85, and bikini tops start at $7.46.

Nordstrom Rack Clearance Bikini Tops

Personally, I love having a smattering of bikini tops. During the hottest summer days, my outfits are built around swimsuits. My swimsuit drawer ideally includes a high-neck halter top, string bikini or triangle bikini top, a supportive bikini top for jumping off rocks and avoiding unintentional exposure, and a good number of cute, comfortable bikini tops with cool designs and styles.

Nordstrom Rack Clearance Bikini Bottoms

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m nowhere near as enthusiastic about bikini bottoms as I am their upper counterparts. Unless you’re actually, physically at a beach or swimming, they’re the least visible part of a cute bikini. This is why I usually just get a handful of neutral, basic bikini bottoms to stick underneath cuter tops.

Some people prefer the inverse of my preferences, though. They like to have cute, exciting bikini bottoms to match up with basic, run-of-the-mill tops. Both ways are good, and Nordstrom Rack’s bikini sale can accommodate everyone’s bikini preferences.

Reversible bikini bottoms seem like such a good idea, but I’ve never had any. Where is the gusset? How does that work?

Regardless, you can’t beat some of these prices. End-of-season sales are my favorite kind, especially living in the Pacific Northwest where the weather is the same all the time. So it’s really like summer never ends! And also never begins. There’s a high of 65°F today and there will continue to be a high of 65°F forever.

How would you mix’n’match these bikinis? Which are your favorites?
