12 swimsuits to order now

With sunny days just around the corner, now is the perfect time to book your holidays, scout out beaches on Instagramand dive straight into swimsuit shopping! This summer, we’re leaving insecurities behind and reconnecting with our bodies by slipping into the most beautiful styles. Here’s a round-up of the latest trends, whether you’re team bikini or one-piece, high-waisted briefs or thong. Baywatch, Saint-Tropez or Ibiza vibes: we bet you’ll be the hottest one on the beach. 

We discovered Belamer this summer, and since then, we haven’t been able to think about anything else. Our obsession? The Uma model in ice blue: a chic bandeau top, a metallic ring at the centre, and beautifully gathered fabric with a delicate ruched effect… In short, the kind of swimsuit that does all the work on its own. Designed for smaller busts, it enhances them just the right amount and promises one thing above all: making your tan stand out like never before.

At Chichi Castelnango, the swimsuit almost becomes an accessory. The black Amicie triangle top ticks all the boxes with its double straps adorned with brown, beige and caramel beads, which also appear between the cups and on the bottoms. The result? A delicate shell-like effect, very precious, very beach-chic, very “I found it in a tiny little boutique”.

Etam has a gift for placing a colourful swimsuit in the shop window and instantly making us want to book a one-way ticket to the French Riviera. This floral balconette bikini top with vintage vibes perfectly supports the bust, the bottoms adjust just right, and the print does all the talking. A joyful, flattering, sun-soaked swimsuit — and at a sweet price, too.

For a long time, we said no to the one-piece. Too sensible, too classic, not enough us. And then H&M released this navy blue model. Minimalist, well-cut, effective: it creates a sharp silhouette without requiring the slightest effort. Add a scarf in your hair, gold sandals and oversized sunglasses, and suddenly you can already picture yourself strolling along the Croisette.

The one-piece according to Livia is anything but ordinary. With the Lucrèce Portofino, the brand goes for an ultra-feminine asymmetrical strap, removable cups that beautifully shape the bust, and a matte fabric that catches the light the moment it comes out of the water. Simple at first glance, devastating at second.

We talk a lot about swimsuits that create a beautiful silhouette. We talk less about the ones you can actually live in all day without pulling at the straps every five minutes. Monoprix understood the assignment with this purple one-piecefeaturing a waffle-like texture and a soft round neckline.

Noo is the Parisian brand we’re obsessed with right now, especially for this lilac gingham two-piece. Beyond its classic triangle top and adjustable bottoms, we love the checked pattern in a luminous lilac shade that makes all the difference. Painfully cute, and we fully own it.

Princesse Tam Tam is bringing out the polka dots, and we’re here for it. This non-wired triangle top ties at the front for a beautifully rounded bust effect, with a slightly pin-up feel. We’re obsessed with its chocolate colour, which flatters every skin tone, even during the first days of sun exposure.

Reformation, the brand of well-dressed cool girls, signs off on a fiery red two-piece. Straight-cut top, high-waisted bottoms, a comfortable fit with a serious presence: it’s the kind of swimsuit that instantly makes you feel more powerful. Major bonus: it’s made from plant-based materials or regenerated nylon. What if we played modern-day Baywatch?

Undiz has released the kind of swimsuit you can slip into your basket without feeling guilty. A balconette bra top, adjustable bottoms, glittery stripes in soft light tones that catch the sun beautifully, all under €30: safe to say this one will quickly end up in our suitcase!

The swimsuit we’re adding to our wishlist without a second thought is this one. Signed Ysé, it plays the knitted jacquard card, with red gingham and retro charm that makes our stylish holiday heart beat faster. Its balconette shapebeautifully structures the bust, its high-waisted bottoms elongate the silhouette, the little bow adds the perfect touch, and the adjustable straps finish the job. The kind of piece the whole beach won’t be wearing. And that’s exactly why we love it.

Longitude has that effortless chic we all dream of having when stepping out of the water, salty hair and golden skin. This asymmetrical white one-piece ties at the shoulder, creating a subtle draped effect, while a waist cut-out helps refine the silhouette. White to bring out every shade of tan, a cut that does all the work: heading to Cassis, immediately.
