Dulcie EmersonHit the beach in style with swimwear for every body
Gone are the days when one-piece swimsuits were viewed as frumpy. Classic, chic, and figure flattering, one-piece swimsuits are our top choice when it comes to what to wear to the beach. This monochrome swimsuit is timeless and easy to wear – just add sunglasses and high-waisted denim shorts. We also love this stylish plunge swimsuit which has subtle padding to enhance your shape. If you prefer a pop of colour, brighten up your beach bag with this eye-catching printed swimsuit.
Do the bright thing with vibrant swimsuits
Not for shrinking violets, our vibrant pink scoop-neck swimsuit stands out for all the right reasons. Available in a versatile style with removable padding, this textured swimsuit has been designed with a classic cut to suit pretty much every body shape. An airy pure cotton cover-up and chunky slider sandals are the only accessories you'll need.
And, as another bonus, it's made with quick-drying recycled polyester, perfect for keeping that little bit warmer if you're holidaying in Cornwall rather than the Cote d'Azur.
Bright swimwear
Two's company with a mix-and-match bikini
The right bikini can help you feel your best on holiday, and you can't go wrong with a classic black two-piece. Or try zingy brights — a key swimwear trend — that looks great under sun-drenched skies. Take a break from neutrals in this bikini set from Boux Avenue. The brilliant white shade has us dreaming of long days on the beach and the fit is super flattering, thanks to an underwired top and high-leg bottoms.
If you prefer a more classic look, go for a high- waisted bikini set. Our high-waisted bikini bottoms and bandeau bikini top are made from a durable fabric with a chlorine-resistant finish, so you can swim to your heart's content. If you have a bigger bust and want a supportive bikini, check out Freya and Fantasie.
