New season swimwear has landed at Strip and it’s making us want to hit the beach! Bikini trends are evolving fast so forget about that saggy old swimsuit languishing in your drawer… just as you update your spring-summer wardrobe, it’s time to pack a punch with your swimsuit as well! Bikinis and swimsuits can be worn under sheer tops, layered under outer clothes and paired with denim for a festi-ready look that’s pretty yet practical so make sure your swimwear is in sync with the rest of your wardrobe this summer.
Read on to see our breakdown of the biggest swimwear trends for 2017…
High cut swimsuits
The Baywatch look is back! A high cut swimsuit is super flattering as it can elongate the legs and help the silhouette appear slimmer and more toned. Trust us and try one on – you won’t regret it. In terms of prints and colours, anything goes. Block colours can be flattering for shorter torsos whilst diagonal stripes are super slimming and can distract from any areas that you don’t want to draw attention to.

Heidi Klum Sun Muse Underwire One Piece – £115.00 – the contoured bust provides brilliant support and structure in a classic pillar box red colour.
Animal Attraction
This has been a growing trend for the last couple of seasons and it slows no sign of slowing down. Bold, bright and unapologetic – there’s no such thing as OTT! Go all out with an all over print or introduce hints of animal print to give a sophisticated spin on this trend.
