There is gorgeous crochet detailing on both the top and briefs, which gives a kind of hippy vibe that I totally. The design is so summery and lovely and both pieces are incredibly well made, with lovely fabrics and fixtures. Who doesn’t love a bit of tie dye in the summer?! I couldn’t resist this bikini from Australian brand Watercult (who I’m now obsessed with). Batik Twist Halterneck Bikini by Watercultīatik Twist Tie Side Brief: Size 10, £29.40 (40% Off) Verdict: true to size, sophisticated style that can double up as a top. I actually found myself wearing this as a bodysuit on an evening as well as a swimsuit by day-it looks so good with a pair of high-waisted trousers or a skirt! Not easy to go to the look in though… It’s meant to be a ‘shaping’ design, which I guess means that it ‘holds you in’ more? I didn’t notice much of a difference in terms of ‘shaping’ between this and my other swimsuit (which wasn’t described as ‘shaping’), but it did feel well made and there is a nice amount of padding in the cups. It wasn’t my favourite piece in terms of fit: although I love an open back, I did feel when swimming that there would have been slippage from the shoulders. ![]() The mesh panels aren’t obvious at first glance, but add a lovely, flattering look to the overall effect. ![]() So this was the perfect time to try!

The bright colours and pattern are perfect for a summer beach holiday the fabric is thick and the quality of the design is great: feels like it could last forever. I LOVE THIS SWIMSUIT!!! There’s not much more to say on the subject, to be honest. Would recommend sizing up for a more comfortable fit. Verdict: Love the classic look of this bikini, especially the super flattering mesh details on the briefs. The briefs were a perfect fit and help up well with some serious sea swimming! The bikini top fastens with a normal snap clasp, and also has silicone strips around the top of the cups to help keep everything in place. I found the bikini top slightly tight on both my ribs and the cups (you may be able to tell from the photos!) and so would probably size up to a 32C in the future potentially even a 32D. It’s a lovely, timeless style but with some gorgeous detailing in the polka-dot mesh on both the halter neck and the sides of the briefs. I loved the look of this classic black bikini from the Figleaves brand. I love the versatility of a bikini on holiday: being able to wear the top part with shorts or under more sheer tops when it gets really hot. When I was picking pieces to take away this summer (and there were SO MANY beautiful ones to choose from!) I decided to go for a mix of swimsuits and bikinis.
