Floral Crossover Bikini and Bottoms
The perfect choice if you’re after something colourful and floral without being garish. This bikini from Zara has a great shape and the bow adds a pretty touch.

High-waisted (Nocturna)
We Are Handsome – the Australian swimwear brand created by husband and wife pair Jeremy and Katinka Somers – takes a bold and nostalgic approach to design. This piece is from their new ‘Vice’ collection, inspired by the ‘heat, the hot and the heart’ of South Beach, Miami circa 1980; part of a glorious collection which is probably not for the demure.
£167; wearehandsome.com

Cut-Out Triangle Bra and Bottoms
A classic black triangle bikini with laser cutouts, this piece is yet another example of & Other Stories pulling it out of the bag for those who want high quality and stylish pieces, without breaking the bank.
£19 each; stories.com

Tuesday Top and Bottoms by Kiini
The bikini brand of the moment, Kinni is the brainchild of Turkish-born and New York-based designer Ipek Irgit. Each piece is handmade in the brand’s distinctive, crochet-style and features elastic and high-tech fabric to also ensure a decent fit. Kiini’s don’t have any sort of fastenings so we recommend buying on the small side as the styles stretch to fit.
£225; kiini.com

Mesh Stripe Racer Back
Topshop is the place for cool bikinis on a budget. We love this sporty green and white, mesh striped racer back. One for those who love string bikinis but hate it when they fall off (anyone?). Comes as a set.
£30 www.topshop.com
