These are some of the most fabulous ladies’ bathing suits around - all on trend for the UK summer 2021.
Best for: a stylish cover-up
This swimsuit is unique in that it has long sleeves, perfect for ladies who are prone to catching the sun on their arms when swimming in an outdoor pool.
Available in sizes 6 to 16, this swimsuit is made from a stretchy fabric with built in UBF50+ protection and it’s also resistant to chlorine, piling and sun cream, too.
It features a built-in shelf bra suitable for A-G cups for extra support. The jazzy pattern has a cool ‘60s vibe - perfect for catching attention poolside.
Best for: on-trend colour
If you like classic swimsuits with a twist this sexy number is for you.
The one block of pink/purple colour is bold and beautiful, while the single strap creates a minimalist but sleek look.
It’s been made using some recycled materials too so it’s the perfect choice for those who like to buy eco-friendly. It’s available in sizes XS to XL and is an online exclusive.
Best for: a cute suit with a control panel
Proving that you can have style, comfort and support is this fabulous swimsuit.
It’s enhanced with tummy control technology which sculpts your waist for a streamlined silhouette.
The black and white colouring timeless (and reminiscent of Beth Harmon’s incredible swimsuit in the Queen’s Gambit), while the ruffle adds a playful and pretty element. The chlorine-resistant material used to make it will also keep the fabric looking new for longer. If you love the design of this, but prefer a more colourful costume then it’s also available with a yellow floral print for the same price. Both are available in sizes 6 to 24.
Best for: showing a little flesh without feeling exposed
This costume is a great choice if you would like something a bit different to a traditional swimsuit but also don’t want to two-piece bikini.
The cut out detailing makes a striking statement while also still concealing the stomach area to leave you feeling confident and sexy. The black and white floral design is also timeless so you can wear it again and again.
Best for: buxom ladies
This swimsuit has been designed specifically for ladies with a bigger bust, but it doesn’t compromise on style.
The ruched design of the bust is really pretty and feminine, and it includes moulded cups for added support so you can enjoy swimming (or frolicking about the beach) and feel secure.
There are also adjustable straps so you can get the most comfortable fit for you. Available in sizes 10 to 20.
