Be bold, be beautiful
After several seasons off the radar of all but the most conservative beach dresser, swimsuits are back and bolder than ever.
Taking the lead from swimwear labels such as We Are Handsome and Tavik, from the sun-soaked shores of Australia, Brazil and Spain, the once humble one-piece is no longer the demure option, with riotous colour, pattern and ever more daring cuts which verge on the conjoined bikini.
We’re starting our swimsuit series with this eclectic mix of bold one-pieces which work from beach to bar. When thinking about what’s best for you, make sure any cut-outs coincide with your best bits, that it’s not too clingy, and look out for lined options to avoid the wet T-shirt look!
