Surfer chic
Miami swimsuit, £4; Cap, £3

Featuring sporty colours like peach, lime and purple, as well as practical designs, this style of swimwear is ideal for those of you active beach babes who want to look effortlessly cool while playing volleyball or doing water sports. Surfs up!
The Classic One-Piece
Watermelon swimsuit, £4; Sunglasses, £3
While a traditional swimsuit is flattering on most body shapes, this style is often viewed as boring. But this doesn’t mean that one-pieces should be written off: you can always up the ante and fun factor by opting for one that comes complete with a bold print, like this trendy watermelon swimsuit!
Cut-Out Details
Bikini top, £6; Bikini bottoms, £4; Cap, £3; Earrings, £1; Arm bangle, £2
While ultra-provocative, strappy swimsuits reigned supreme in 2016, this year is all about a more parred back version of the style. For example, a bikini with simple cut-out details on the sides makes for an understated, sexy look. Plus, this style is ideal for those of you wanting to create the impression of an hourglass figure, as the straps will draw attention to your hips.
The Halterneck
Bikini top, £6; Bikini bottoms, £4; Turban, £2
Inspired by 1970s fashion trends, halter bikinis are a great choice if you have a small bust. As well as looking sophisticated and stylish, this silhouette will help to provide coverage and support while you sunbathe. Just add a floppy had to finish off the look.
