Our summer swimwear guide to keep you looking good by the pool
Whatever your body shape, there’s a piece of swimwear just waiting to slim, plump or sculpt you
2 July 2009
It's... bikini time! Yes, you've been dreading it all year, but the time to peel off the layers and bathe in something skimpy is finally upon us. Sadly your hope of dropping a dress size the night before your holiday simply by drinking green tea isn't going to work. But swimwear has never been a better friend to us.
We have padded bikinis, control pant bottoms, ones with hidden panels to hoist and plump and patterns to divert attention away from problem areas. Plus this year, there has never been a larger range of styles to choose from. There is no such thing as an "it" style, so you are free to choose whatever flatters you best.
