Whether you’re a true-blue beachcomber or you’re the type that would only get your hair wet, if you got a chance to get up close and personal with the guys from Bondi Rescue, every girl needs a great cossie. And really, you have no excuse if you don’t invest in one this summer because with the vast array of shapes, prints and colours out there, there is the perfect pair of bathers to suit everyone.
As always, bikinis are big. I mean, small. Ok so they are seriously popular and seriously don’t consist of much fabric, which is great for staying cool, working on your tan and flirting. Select from halter-necks, bandeau or strappy tops and hipster, boy-leg or tie-up bottoms. If, like most women, your bust is a different size from your bum, go for separates and make sure that you are choosing the right size for you!
If you think you’ve passed the cut-off age for the acceptable use of bikinis, opt for a one piece. The great news is, you won’t look like you belong in your grandmother’s aquaerobics class because 'onesies' are in right now. They come in all types of shapes that hug your curves including on-trend cut-out styles and are just as sexy as flesh-flaunting two-pieces.
Remember, it’s summer so think bright, fun and eye-catching colours and prints. Florals are huge for summer 09/10 but of course you can never go wrong in a chic black number either. To be perfectly honest, you could do worse than have a number of swimwear options: those for actually swimming and those that look like you may want to swim sometime in the near future - perhaps once you’re done sipping your Cosmo…
