Summer's Most-Wanted Swimsuits and Bikinis

Hit the pool 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 patterned monochrome swimsuit is timeless and easy to wear – just add sunglasses and high-waisted denim shorts for browsing souvenir shops. We also love this stylish plunge swimsuit which has a scalloped neckline and subtle removable padding to enhance your shape: an airy pure cotton cover-up and chunky slider sandals are the only accessories you'll need.
One-piece wonders

Do the bright thing with vibrant swimsuits
If you prefer a pop of colour, brighten up your beach bag with this eye-catching ombré bandeau swimsuit which comes in striking pink and aqua blue.
Not for shrinking violets, our vibrant kingfisher-blue asymmetric swimsuit stands out for all the right reasons. Available in a sleek, suits-all silhouette with removable padding, it also features Sun Smart UPF50+ protection to help guard against harmful UV rays.
And, as another bonus, many of our swimsuits are made with quick-drying fabric with Stay New technology, perfect for keeping swimwear bright and in shape whether you're swimming in the sea or a chlorinated pool.
Style out your swimwear

It takes two: bikinis and tankinis to make a splash
The right bikini can help you feel your best on holiday, and you can't go wrong with a classic white two-piece. Take a break from neutrals in this sporty scooped-neck set which features contrast piping for a cool, minimalist look. The brilliant white shade has us dreaming of long days on the beach and the fit is super flattering, thanks to added stretch and high-leg bottoms. Or try a triangle bikini in zingy brights – a key swimwear trend – that looks great under sun-drenched skies.
For a vintage-inspired look, go for a high-waisted bikini set. Our high-waisted bikini bottoms are made from a durable fabric with secret tummy support. If you have a fuller bust and want a more supportive bikini top, check out Freya, Panache and Fantasie.
