Where can I buy a bathing suit in NYC?

Guys, going to Aruba this week, and since I just found out I have to go to California for work Mon-Wed, I will have no time to buy stuff for the trip except today (hopefully pre-Super Bowl). Any place that sells bathing suits now in February? I don't want designer shit. I just want a pair of under-stated, normal bathing trunks.

Stupid thread, I know, but where else can I axe this kind of question?

Well everywhere I was going to suggest fell into the designer shit category, soooo how bout gap or banana republic? Everybody has resort in by now so finding one should be very simple.

Designer is fine, I just don't want to be spending a lot of money on something like bathing suits. I'm very particular on what I spend big on (business attire, jeans).

What kind of price points were you thinking for the designer?

If you don't want to spend a bunch, why not go to a discounter and pick up a plain pair of Nike bathing suits?

I was hoping for something a bit more neutral/prep.

I got some trunks from saks that were like $200.

I don't remember what they were.

I had a pair of Holliday & Brown for Prada once. But they didn't fit, and were not understated.

RL has some nice preppy suits for under 200. I just picked up an etro one for 180 and a Prada Sport on for 190. Barneys and Saks have a good selection. Bergdorfs if you want more traditional/conservative.

I heard good things about Parke and Ronen but I've never been.

It looks like they can be quite snug...some of the pictures are quite revealing. I would probably head towards the 8" shorts.

Possible NSFW.

This thread is 8 months old and was bumped by a spammer. I already got a bathing suit at J Crew.
