We are all very much due for some rest and relaxation, and what better way to recharge than lounging on a warm sandy beach or taking a refreshing dip in the salty blue sea. And while holidays are totally worth investing in, your resort-wear wardrobe doesn’t have to be spenny to look cute. Our favourite swimsuits and bikinis of 2021 come in bold colours, delicate floral prints, and eco-friendly materials — but the best part about our top picks is that they are all under £100. If you fancy updating your swimwear collection, then we suggest seersucker, ruched, and smocked styles that are soft, comfortable, and very on-trend. Keen for a more modest look? Then try one-shoulder one-piece swimsuits that offer ample coverage for your bits without compromising on style. Another design feature...
Summer is so close we can almost taste it, which means it’s time to dust off your swimsuits and get ready for the warmer weather that lies ahead. Now, before you get too excited and end up spending all your money on the first cute swimsuit you see, let me share with you one of the only swimsuit trends I think you need to know this season: retro florals. I touched on it briefly here, but after some further research, I am officially convinced that if you’re going to be seen in one swimsuit trend this summer, make it retro florals—period. Retro florals entail any floral print that looks like it came straight out of the ’60s, ’70s, or ’80s. The nostalgia these funky prints bring is what makes this swim trend feel fresh and different compared t...
If you love your shoulders/arms: If accentuating your arms and shoulders is your goal, opt for either strapless, off-the-shoulder, one-shoulder, or halter styles. Each of those silhouettes will draw all the attention to your upper body and really highlight one of your favourite features. If you love your legs: High cuts, either on bikini bottoms or one-pieces, immediately extend the length of your natural leg line. If you want to show off your stunning limbs, why cut off the line of your leg when you can extend it? This ’80s-style suit will do just that. If you love your waist: The best way to show off your waist, you ask? Belted swimwear is one of our must-try swimsuit trends generally speaking, but for those of you who love your mid-section, it’s...
If you haven’t heard of manifestation, let me enlighten you. Manifestation is a self-help movement centred around the activity of focusing one’s thoughts upon the desired outcome. Essentially, it means that you can think something into actually happening. Perhaps this is why I placed an order for a new bikini in the middle of February. Of course, I have no plans of jetting off to tropical climates this year. Still, perhaps my purchase was an act of subconscious manifestation—that we’ll have a warm enough summer to sit in the park, on the beach, on our balconies and in our gardens quite comfortably in a bikini. Assuming some of you are shopping with the same logic, I decided to find out which bikini trends the experts are backing for a summer spent on home...
