STYLING
THE BEST NEW SWIMWEAR FOR YOUR ROTATION
By Ayis Stephen-Diver, 31 May 2024

THE SWIMSUIT
ASOS DESIGN v-front swimsuit in postcard print, £28
In a sea of two-piece bikinis, stand out with a head-turning one-piece. The block-colour styles are cool, but we’re going patterned, printed and pretty. Detailed with illustrated birds, flowers and fruits, this piece is summer personified as a print, and we love it.

THE SARONG
Topshop beach sarong in gingham crinkle, £28
Sarongs are having a major moment – big in the 90s and better now, this crinkle sarong features 2024’s favourite pattern – gingham. You’ve got the dresses, the bloomer shorts, why not add the pattern to your swimwear rotation too?

THE SANDALS
Havaianas square logo pop up flip flops in lavender, £29
Flip-flops are vital at the beach but how do you make yours stand out? Enter: these square-toe flip-flops from Havaianas. They maintain the classic flip-flop design and v-straps, but add a modern twist – so simple, so stylish.

THE BAG
Topshop oversized straw tote in orange stripe, £38
Beaching all day means supplies; sunscreen, a towel, a pair of sunnies, a book and anything else to make the most of the sun-drenched life. Thankfully, the supersized bag trend delivers both in the style stakes and in a very practical sense too. we're loving this woven-straw Topshop tote – it's giving sunset walks on Mediterranean beaches.

THE SUNNIES
ASOS DESIGN oval sunglasses, £14
In case you didn’t know, we’re *big* on orange/brown tones this summer, so we had to include these shades. Y2K-inspired styles are big news at ASOS HQ and the pair above made us think of the kind celebs wore to red-carpet events in the 2000s. Looking at holiday aesthetics, this one takes the top spot for us (and with one little accessory too).
