The Best Swim & Beachwear for Summer 2018

Whether you want to take the plunge, hop aboard or simply soak in the beach scene, here are the items that will help you tick off your beach checklist.

Claudie Pierlot woven wicker 'Aflamingo' bag with removable strap and dashes of coral thanks to the handles, knitted pom poms and embroidered letters

If you’re travelling somewhere there’s a dreamy turquoise sea, sun and sand, or are lucky enough to have that locally, you’ll need some beachwear that’s either tasteful or tropical. If you’re an aquaholic or sun-worshipper, we’ve picked out the latest trendy styles in bikinis and one-piece swimsuits, whether you love pretty frills, polka dots, bralets, belted or balconette styles. And if you just enjoy admiring a mesmerising sunset, soaking in the sparkling sea or having a poolside lunch, there’s nothing like colourful dresses and cover-ups or an über cool pair of shorts to get you noticed. We also chose the perfect accessories, including versatile straw bags and hats, which made it to the top of the summer must-haves list yet again, and bright hued sunnies.
