Bikinis are always high on the agenda, especially in the summer, but if you're headed for some winter sun then you're in luck – there's still loads of them in stock online.
Whether you've been savvy enough to secure a weekend break at a quaint spa hotel in the Cotswolds, or you're jetting off to climes that are altogether more ~sunny~ (and staying at one of the best hotels in Mallorca, the Maldives or on the Amalfi Coast), there's only one thing more important than your summer dress and face sunscreen to pack. And that's one of the best bikinis.
What exactly deems a bikini the “best” in the world on swimwear? A peruse through the best swimwear brands (read: Frankie's Bikinis, & Other Stories and Free People) – and intel straight from the spring/summer catwalks from earlier this year – shows that high-leg and high-waisted bikini silhouettes still reign supreme. And when it comes to fabrics, crinkle swimwear à la Hunza G continues to prove ever popular. Case in point: the brands iconic Nadine silhouette.
Hunza G Nadine Seersucker Bikini
Nailing both briefs simultaneously, the design sits high on the hip – flattering every curve – and comes crafted from a comfortable, one-size-fits-all seersucker that stretches beyond your desires and snaps back just as easily. Granted it'll set you back £175, but when something's going to last you as long as a Hunza G bikini promises to, it's totally worth the investment. Plus, you could always save a few ££'s with these Net-A-Porter discount codes.
Elsewhere, fanciful, feminine embellishments like ruffles, ditsy florals and 3D waist ties come approved by the likes of Johanna Ortiz and Lisa Marie Fernandez, while bright, bold pink (courtesy of Barbie fame) is big on the best bikinis of the season too. Make a beeline for Free People's Swim line for a carnival of the colour.
And, lest we leave out the bikini brands who are making a conscious effort to be less negatively impactful on the planet. Faithfull The Brand and Away That Day, we're looking at you and your ECONYL materials.
It's official: ditching your slightly saggy, faded old bikini in favour of an on trend two-piece is a guaranteed mood-booster, even without any dreamy #vacay plans secured for the rest of 2023. So cast your eyes over this lot.
