FASHION TRENDS

THE style guide

Summer is here, and with it comes holiday season. You may be jetting off abroad for the first time in ages, or heading to the beach in one of the UK’s glorious costal holiday spots, but wherever you are going you will need a fabulous swimsuit or bikini to rock whilst you’re there!

I do love to swim, normally only when it’s warm though. The thought of pulling on my cossy normally fills me with dread, but after the last few years, and the much-welcomed change in attitudes towards ‘plus-sized’ models in advertising campaigns - I simply aren’t bothered anymore. It’s just great to get away and enjoy some fun in the sun. Finding the perfect swimsuit or bikini can be a bit of a task, but there are lots of options around now to choose from, and most cater for any shape or size too, which is great news for us all.

Primark has a really wide variety of swimwear on offer, from one-piece wonders to mix and match bikini items. From extra small to extra large - and everything in between. I love the bold prints and bright colours, and the endless styles available, plus the fact that many of the items are now made using recycled polyester or plastic, which is better for sustainability. They are also really reasonably priced, which is even more important with the cost of living spiralling. So have fun, enjoy the sea, sand and sun and look great while you do. Here are a few of my top picks for this summer, but you can check out the full range either in store or on the website:
