Even though there may be snow on the ground, now is the perfect time to start the hunt for a perfect swimsuit.
But buying a suit isn't always fun for students.
Stores on Massachusetts Street are already displaying their spring lines for women, and the men's lines are expected to arrive within the next few weeks.
"My biggest problem with finding a swimsuit is that it's always so crowded, and sometimes they don't have my size," said Lindsi Wyner, Dallas sophomore.
Malia Carlson, sales associate at The Buckle, 805 Massachusetts St., said shoppers who needed a couple of weeks to find a suit should start looking now.
"A couple weeks before spring break and the first couple of weeks in May are our busiest times for selling swimsuits," she said.
Purchasing a suit that will make heads turn is not always an easy task, especially for women. However, a large number of styles are on the market this season.
The traditional one-piece suit never goes out of style. Bikini-lovers can try a tube top or bandeau, which is a pullover with detachable straps that convert into a halter. Shoppers who are self-conscious about their legs can try wrapping their waist with a woven pearo.
If a new style is what you long for, try a J. Crew keyhole suits. The top is a pullover that ties at the back of the neck with a keyhole in the center.
For women, cool and pastel colors such as light pink, peach, purple and navy are hot right now. Polka dots, stripes and floral designs are sure to show up on beaches. Solid colors and mismatched solids are still in stores for shoppers who steer clear of wild designs.
For guys, picking a suit can be much easier.

Shopping tips:
If the stores in Lawrence don't carry anything that catches your eye, try the Plaza in Kansas City, Mo., or the Oak Park Mall in Overland Park.
Don't be afraid to be a little wild this spring. If you like bright, flashy colors in loud patterns, go for it.
Try everything on before you buy it. What looks good on someone else might not look good on you.
Massachusetts sts, said the store had a wide variety of board shorts, and reversible floral designs in bright colors were popular for guys this year.
"Our best selling brands are Billabong and Quiksilver," she said.
