'Tis the summer to make a splash!

Tank or bikini, unabashedly suggestive or demurely understated, the year’s trends in beachwear are all about making a personal statement, and trusting our inner voice. Freedom, finally, is the word!


Seafolly: Prints ahead


Seafolly does away with overdone, under-inspired solid colours, and opts instead for chromatic, exuberant prints, so cheerful nothing, not even the glum economic climate, could wear them down. Gorgeous over a skilfully bronzed skin, the Island Oasis infuses the traditional bandeau with bright pops of orange and aquamarine. Can you sense that gentle feeling of euphoria blowing over the beach?

Lise Charmel: Mind those eyes!


Revealing and glamorous, Lise Charmel’s passion-cut trikini will take your senses for a spin and drape your picture-perfect curves in the most stimulating shade to ever grace the dunes. This titillating ensemble is perfected by an ethnic jewel that’s sure to intrigue and obsess.

Maryan Mehlhorn: Beyond the coral reef


Leaving little to the imagination, with its plunging neckline and artfully accented clasps, Maryan Melhorn’s G-Alibi one-piece suit will wrap you whole in a tantalising shade of coral that’s sure to drive the boys to distraction. An all-around success!


Price: 165.95 €




 


 


Eres: Hollywood glamour


Eres’ latest creations evoke the glamour of Miami’s sun-bathed Art Deco palaces. We’ve fallen in love with their latest Hawaiian blue bikini, whose vintage cut takes us back to the roaring thirties, their nautical ballets, their brightly decorated hotels and their subtly opalescent swimming pools. Dive in!

Bold contrasts, oversized patterns and geometric playfulness: such are the signature elements of this year’s black and white Riviera collection, available at Empreinte, the well-known plus-size specialists, who appear to have found fresh inspiration.


Price: top from 75 €, bottom, with adjustable waistband, 53 €.




 


 


 


Dosed: A touch of Brazil


As remote from Brazilian exuberance as can be, Dosed is going for a minimal collection, focusing on clean lines and understated cuts. A special mention goes to their ultra-clean, ultra-chic two-piece number, featuring a simple clasp in the back and candy-inspired polyester pearls.


Price: 180 €
