Dua Lipa’s Blue String Bikini Is Made Entirely of Sequins
View this post on Instagram A post shared by DUA LIPA (@dualipa) Sunbathing season hasn't started yet for most of the nation, but Dua Lipa is showing us how it's done. The singer took to Instagram on 11 May and shared a stunning holiday image of her lying next to crystal clear waters, but it wasn't just the sea sparkling in the sunshine that caught our attention, but her shimmering sequin bikini. The 27-year-old showed off her enviable summer glow in a bare-faced selfie, showing her lying in the itsy-bitsy triangle bikini top and tie-string bottoms, with a simple gold coin necklace to finish the beachside look. Holding up a book – with her perfectly manicured glazed donut nails on show, might we add – Lipa shared with her fans that she's launched a new book club as par...
Amelia Dimoldenberg Wows in a Gingham Thongkini – and Catches Drake’s Attention
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Amelia Dimoldenberg (@ameliadimz) Amelia Dimoldenberg has already conquered the Golden Globes, the Oscars, and the Brits so far this year, and now she's about to tick Coachella off the list, too. She will be contributing to the festival's livestream on YouTube and, ahead of the gig which commences on 14 April and runs for two weekends, the influencer has been channelling that cool Californian vibe in a gingham thongkini; a trend seen on the likes of Kendall Jenner and Lizzo. The "Chicken Shop Date" creator posted two sultry photos of her standing in the sun on 14 April, surrounded by palm trees, wearing the gorgeous two-piece. She added a pair of dangly earrings, for a little extra glamour, and kept her copper hair in festiv...
The Best High-Waisted Bikini Bottoms for Style and Comfort
High-waisted bikini bottoms have long been a must-have for holiday season. While celebrities may favour the thongkini trend or the '90s skimpy tie-up bikini bottoms that expose more skin, there's something about high-waisted bikini bottoms that ooze retro glamour. If you're torn between a chic swimming suit or a strappy bikini, high-waisted bikini bottoms literally fill the gap between the two. Sitting higher on the waist means the fabric covers the lower tummy area and those extra inches of coverage can make all the difference to feeling confident by the pool. While every body is beautiful, everyone also deserves to feel comfortable in their own skin, and for some, this means high-waisted or tummy control bikini bottoms. When it comes to choosing the perfect pair, the options are endless...
Maya Jama’s String Bikini and Matching Bucket Hat are Poolside Perfection
Image Source: Instagram user @mayajama Maya Jama is taking a well-deserved holiday following her extremely busy start to the year, but she's certainly not let her style standards drop while relaxing in the sun. The "Love Island" host took to her Instagram stories on 5 April to post a video of her wearing a gorgeous string bikini emblazoned with the Gucci logo with a matching Gucci bucket hat. Jama's matching separates certainly make a case for three-piece swimwear that we'll be using as inspiration for our own holiday wardrobe. The bikini itself is a vintage two-piece sporting the iconic interlocked G logo, while the bikini bottoms tie in bows at the side. Jama teamed the two-piece with a matching blue bucket hat over her wavy hair, adding a gold bracelet on her wrist. While posting bare-f...

Gaga completed the look with a vintage Chanel gold ID plate ch...
The Best New Sustainable Swimwear to Shop for Summer Days by the Sea
Fashion has a complicated relationship with plastic. As much as we pass laws to reduce it and march in the streets to get it out of our oceans, plastic fashion (like PVC shoes, clothes, and accessories) continues to be one of the industry’s biggest trends. It’s a funny paradox where our fascination with transparent pieces is subverting the actual transparency that we need from big brands. But what if we used the demand for this trend as a way to reduce our plastic problem? The word “sustainable” was once tied to an underground and overpriced market. Now that the eco-fashion revolution is in full swing, there are tons of fresh brands like Mara Hoffman, Reformation, and Chromat that are gaining loyal fan bases while influencing mega retailers, like H&M and Zara, t...
