I think it was only a few years back when we Filipinas could only choose from the SM/tiangge gaudy floral swimsuits or the horribly expensive imported swimwear lines, making it the proverbial devil and the deep blue sea.

But thankfully, those days are now over and leading the pack with its Pinay centric collection in a very affordable price range (siyempre, dapat Pinay approved!) is Sassa Swimwear.
While the Pinay has definitely come a long way from her Maria Clara days, we are still not as comfortable with baring our bodies as our Brazilian counterparts. And knowing this, the 2010 Sassa summer collection integrated a lot of tankinis, boy shorts and boy leg bottoms in its lineup.
The surfer chicks out there will definitely appreciate these rash guards in fun colors and with UV protection.

Aside from the aesthetics, another thing that is worth mentioning about Sassa is its super friendly prices. We were given a Php700 gift check to spend during the Sassa launch and I was honestly apprehensive because what can Php700 buy right? Half a bikini top? But it came as a lovely surprise that the most expensive item in the Sassa collection amounted to only Php699.75! Whoa!
I eventually picked out this white maillot. I've tried it on and I'm happy to say that I did not have any peek-a-boo moments :) (FYI all swimsuits have removable cup pads and are lined with 100% polyester)

This year's collection is predominantly solid colored to encourage mixing and matching and in effect maximize your beach wardrobe. Besides, matchy-matchy is so out.
