Tankinis

If you're looking for a little extra coverage without sacrificing style, a tankini is the perfect
swimwear choice. Combining the ease of a bikini with the coverage of a one-piece, tankini
sets offer the ultimate versatility—so you can mix, match, and style them to suit you.
Whether you adjust the length for a custom fit or opt for a strapless look, a tankini lets you wear it your way, all day.

Why choose a tankini?

A tankini set is the perfect balance between style, comfort, and flexibility. Offering more
coverage than a bikini but greater freedom than a traditional one-piece, it’s an ideal option
for those who want to feel confident and comfortable while enjoying their time in the sun.
Plus, the separate top and bottom make it easy to find a fit that works for your body shape.

Styles of swimwear

Swimwear isn't about the fit - it's also about the style, and the right patterns and colours can completely transform your beach look. Striped swimwear is a timeless classic, perfect for creating a sleek, elongating effect, while navy swimwear exudes effortless sophistication and pairs beautifully with gold or neutral accessories.

For a fresh, feminine vibe, floral swimwear adds a touch of summer romance, whether in
delicate pastels or bold tropical prints. If you love to stand out, patterned swimwear, from
geometric prints to animal designs, brings personality and playfulness to your poolside look.

What swimwear suits my shape?

Finding the right swimwear that suits your shape is all about choosing styles that make you feel confident and comfortable. If you’re looking for extra support, underwired bikini tops offer great lift, while halter styles help shape and flatter a fuller bust. For a sleek, elongating effect, high-leg bikini bottoms create the illusion of longer legs, while high-waisted styles define the waist for a sculpting fit.

If you prefer more coverage, ruched or wrap designs smooth and enhance your silhouette
without compromising on style. Whether you’re mixing and matching bikini tops and bikini
bottoms, or opting for a full set, the perfect fit is one that makes you feel your best.

What to wear over swimwear

Finding the perfect swimwear is essential, but having a stylish cover-up to throw over it? That’s just as important (well, we
certainly think it is). Whether you’re heading to the beach bar, strolling from your hotel to the pool, or simply looking for a little
extra coverage, we’ve got you covered with effortless, lightweight pieces designed for sunny days.

bikini bottoms, the effortless elegance of a swimsuit, or the comfort of a tankini set, there’s
