This summer will probably be very different from your usual summer. Many July 4th celebrations have been canceled, conventions have been moved to online-only, and the amount of people in public places is being limited. But I hope you still manage to have some summertime fun. And here are some neat and/or useful ways to show your anime love while beating the heat.
Below I have included the list price, but I have also included the current sale price in parentheses. This should give you an idea of the kind of sale prices to aim for.

Guys going for a dip in the pool or an afternoon at the beach can feel as mighty as Goku in these swim trunks. These trunks got great reviews to boot.
Pokemon Pikachu Ruffle Bandeau Bikini Swimsuit – $42.99 ($36.54) at FYE
Of course, the ladies want to be stylish when swimming! FYE has another Pokémon swim set here, but I found the ruffle style top on this one adorable and makes Pikachu’s face really stand out.
