Yes it is that time of the year again where the hunt for the perfect piece of swimwear is on for most of us females. However, I hope this post will make life a little easier for you as I’ve searched high and low to find some truly gorgeous and flattering swimwear pieces. I’ve selected something for everyone, from various one pieces, to cut outs, high waisted bikinis and supported bikinis for your girls, to the push up styles. Needless to say you will most certainly grab that cute pool-boys attention with this selection!
For those among us that prefer a bit more cover than the standard bikini, the one piece has come back with a bang this year becoming a Hollywood favourite among the stars like Rihanna, Beyonce and Taylor Swift. And the wide selection of feminine, sexy and cool swimsuits available at the moment truly reflects it’s popularity. It really is a win win situation this year.
Tips:
– If you’re a pencil type figure and you want to create some curves, cut out swimwear is great as it gives an illusion of a curvy silhouette – For those of us who want to wear a two piece but with a little extra coverage then definitely try a high waisted bikini like this piece by Swim Suits For All in No.11 or the digital print by River Island in No.12. They also have a slight tummy control effect. Happy days! – If you want to add some umpf to your girls, go for a bandeau style bikini top with ruffles as it will give the illusion of a bigger bust. Also try cleavage boosting bras such as No.18 that I’ve picked out above. – To get a smooth and long lined look to your tummy try a swimsuit with vertical lines or a vertical pattern.They are really flattering as opposed to horizontal lines that can make you look quite wide. – For girls with big busts, halterneck styles are great to keep your girls supported if underwire isn’t your thing, or try specific bigger bust ranges such as Panche at Littlewoods. They cost a bit more but they mould to your shape and offer great support. – Boyfriend shorts are great if you’ve got a ‘big booty’ for extra bit of coverage. 1: Next , blue belted printed swimsuit – €35/£30, sizes 6-22 2: Very.co.uk, resort crochet swimsuit – €29.50/ £25, sizes 8-18 3: Evans, tribal twist swimsuit – €34.50/£29.50, sizes 14-30 4: Dorothy Perkins, Amalfi bandeau swimsuit – €30.50/ £26, sizes 6-20 5: Ted Baker, Hallo snake print swimsuit – €47/ £40, sizes 6-12 6: River Island, Pacha pink body chain halterneck swimsuit – €45/£38, sizes 6-16 7: Topshop, pentagram swimsuit – €53/ £45, sizes 6-16 8: George, tiger print swimsuit – €14/ £12, sizes 8-20 9: H&M, black cut out with zip detail – €24.95/£21, sizes 8-18 10: Dorothy Perkins, geo aztec swimsuit – €35/£30, sizes 10-16 11: Swimsuits For All , white B/H convertible bikini – $44.20, sizes 10-24 12: River Island, high waisted aqua print bikini – top €22/£19, bottoms €14/£12, sizes 6-18 in selected stores. 13: New Look, plus three frill triangle bikini – top €7.99/ £6.99, bottoms €4.99/ £3.99 sizes 14: River Island, black cut out bikini – top €21/£18, bottoms €16/£14, sizes 6-18 in selected stores Bigger bust favourite: 15: Littlewoods Ireland Panache Savannah moulded balconnet bikini, top €45 30D -38ff, bottoms €22/£19, size 8- 20 16:Littlewoods Ireland, Myleene Klass leopard print underwire bikini, top 32A – 38DD €15/ £13, bottoms €13/£11, sizes 12-20 17: New Look, khaki bead bandeau halterneck bikini – top €16.99/£14.99 , bottoms, €9.50/£7.99, sizes 8-14 18: River Island, red drape push up halterneck bikini – top €22/ £19, bottoms €13/£11, sizes 6-18 in selected stores and online. 19: New Look, black and pink gem bandeau bikini – top €15/£12.99, bottoms €9.50/£7.99 , sizes 6-14 20: New Look, pink and blue long line geo print bikini top €16.99/ £14.99 sizes 32B – 36D, bottoms £7.99, sizes 8-16.
