THE NAUTICAL SWIMSUIT

Wherever you’re catching your rays, make a splash in on-trend nautical-themed swimwear

Mention the word Breton and my mind travels immediately to the hazy glamour of the 50s: stylish young couples sojourning in the Med, never far from a flute of champagne, and looking the epitome of chic in their nautical swimsuit. It’s a timeless style that designers continue to line up season after season, especially for the resort collections. Take this M&S Collection halterneck swimsuit: it’s simple yet guaranteed to make a statement, whether you’re doing laps at the local lido or sunning yourself in St Tropez. I love the fact that it’s red, too – a bold alternative to traditional navy that will suit any complexion, no matter how much melanin you’re blessed with. Go on – earn your stripes this summer. You’ll be surprised at how many compliments you receive.
