The Best Swimsuit Styles Celebs are Wearing on Holiday This Year

Summer is the perfect time to experiment with a splash of colour, especially if your normal wardrobe is full of black turtlenecks and dark trousers. This year, celebrities seem to be loving a hot pink bathing suit – not a low-key look, but guaranteed to bring out your tan.

As well as hopping on the fuchsia trend, Khloe Kardashian also modelled another popular style of this season: The V-bar bikini. You’ve probably seen this one on Love Island; it’s where the middle of the bra cups are wired to form an upside-down ‘v’. It has become particularly popular among women with smaller chests, as it creates the illusion of a fuller bust.

You might shudder at the idea of a white bathing suit, but it’s actually classier than you might think. Celebs like Priyanka Chopra have been wearing cream or white one-pieces with a distinctly vintage feel, particularly when paired with bold sunglasses.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has been wearing cult favourite swimwear brand Hunza G. This cream one-piece is classic, but switches things up by looking like it’s knitted and has quirky tortoiseshell detailing. Everyone from Kim Kardashian to Lily Aldridge loves Hunza G – but it’s not exactly high street prices, the Domino Swim costs £140/AED623.93.

Swimwear is often seen as a serious business, with celebs picking the perfect style and showing it off with their sexiest poses. But this doesn’t always have to be the case, and people like Mindy Kaling and Rochelle Humes show how to have a bit of fun with bikinis.

Kaling chose a sunny yellow style with a floral pattern for a dip in the pool, from Instagram-favourite brand Solid & Striped – namely the Elle Top ($79/AED290.16) and Ginger Bottom ($84/AED308.52). If you’re not keen on skimpy bikini bottoms, this is the look for you, as the high waisted briefs allow a bit more coverage.

Or you could do it like Ciara, and wear a matching red leopard print swimsuit with your daughter.

Fashion moves in cycles, and this year the teeny-weeny string bikini is back with a vengeance. We’re not sure if we’d recommend this one to larger busted ladies, as it really doesn’t provide much support (and don’t even think of diving into a pool in it, because who knows where the swimsuit will end up).
