The swimwear edit: The 30 best bikinis and swimsuits for summer 2016
As spring/summer 2016 hots up (we'll get there) and with our holidays now booked, it's time to think of the most dreaded of shopping activities - buying new swimwear.
We've tried to break it down for you, sourcing the most stylish bikinis and swimsuits that are designed to flatter as well as look good. There's styles for all those who have absolutely no intention of getting in the pool (here's to another summer of crochet); all the women who want to splash about in the sea (swimsuits are your best bet); sunseekers wanting to be as near naked as possible (we raise our hats to you) and those who prefer a more modest swimming situation (sexy swimsuits ahoy).
