In the Swim! Swimwear Styles to Suit You

Once upon a time, when it came to choosing swimwear we were limited to just a bikini or a one-piece. But now that’s all changed so you flaunt or flatter the areas you want.

A tankini is two piece set like a bikini, except that the top comes down to cover your tummy. It gives you a more fashionable look than most one picee swimsuits yet you don’t have to expose your tummy like with a bikini!

This tankini set from Panache is underwired like a bra so gives you great shape and support:

If your tummy is the area you’re worried about, a blouson tankini makes a great alternative to tummy control swimwear. Unlike other swimsuits – it won’t cling!

If you’d prefer to keep the tops of your thighs covered up then a swimdress is a flattering and feminine option:

Blue Wahoo swimdress

 

And if you want the best of both worlds then try a blouson tankini and skort combo!

We’ve also got a great choice of classic one-piece suits, glam bikinis and beautiful beachwear, so whatever your style, you’ll find the swimsuit to suit you!

Wedding looks that wow!

We all love a good wedding don’t we? But what nobody loves is that dreaded ‘what on earth am I going to wear?’ feeling! The best approach is to start thinking about it early – then you won’t end up doing a panic buy a few days before and settling for something that’s not quite right. Everybody always checks out what the other guests are wearing, so make sure your outfit makes everyone green with envy!

It’s worth bearing in mind the style of the wedding and choosing your outfit to suit.

Country House

For a  traditional wedding go for something soft and feminine; flowing shapes, floral prints and ruffle trims are all perfect.

City Chic

If your friends have opted for a modern wedding then try a simpler shape but make a statement with a bold colour or print – or both!

Beach Beautiful

If you’re lucky enough to have a beach wedding in your diary then you can keep it more relaxed. Cool and comfy is the order of the day.
