Trend Alert: Animal Print Bikini
There has been so much animal print around this season that it's only right it should apply to swimwear too. Coleen Rooney wore a Michael Kors zebra print two piece whilst holidaying recently, and now you too can get in on the style.
Choose between zebra or leopard and a varied colour palette.
Trend Alert: Floral Bikinis
Floral dresses are a key Summer item, so why shouldn't this print extend to swimwear? This Summer why not head to the beach or the pool in this style which is currently all over the High Street. The bright colours are great for relaxing in the sunshine and I have fallen for the charm of vintage prints like Topshop's bikini (£25).
Trend Alert: Nuevo Navajo
It's cyclical. Especially for me. I think the fact that I re-obsess with it every few years means it's a part of my style DNA.
Trend Alert: Green Bikinis
Coleen Rooney caught my eye last month as she holidayed in a gorgeous green Vix bikini. Since then I have noticed many green bikinis which I think are perfect for wearing to the beach or the pool. They come in all shapes and sizes with polka dot prints and patterns.
Trend Alert: Vixen Visi-Bras
I've been sporting the vixen visi-bra look for years, and it's reassuring to see Rihanna rocking the style with her bright orange bra. See, there's nothing wrong with exposing a cute bra underneath a top. It adds a flirty dose of color to an outfit and I like the sexy appeal.
Trend Alert: Polka Dot Bikini
There's no way that I can even mention polka dot bikinis without recalling the Timmy Mallet song Bombalurina! All together – "An itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini". Reminiscing aside, there are a lot of polka dot bikinis around this Summer which make for fun beachwear.
Trend Alert: Mesh Flesh
Check out hotties Megan in Herve Leroux, Blake in Roberto Cavalli, and Rihanna in Alexander Wang looking sexy to the max in mesh flesh frocks. There's something about mesh inserts that evoke a daring, mysterious vibe and I like it. This detailing isn't for the faint-hearted; when donning such a bold embellishment, brace yourself for hard stares and the occasional catcall.
Trend Alert: Stripe Bikini
The weather over the weekend was so beautiful in the UK (aside from the occasional thunder storm), that I've decided to start considering increasing my beachwear wardrobe. All week I will be bringing you a selection of bikinis to prepare you for your Summer holidays. I'm kicking off the week with a selection of bright striped bikinis.
Trend Alert: Sequin Mini Skirts
There is a lot of demand for sequins right now as they adorn everything from leggings, to blazers to mini skirts.
This trend is set to continue in to the cooler months as they make a transition from eveningwear to daywear. I have noticed a lot of sequined skirts in stores right now which are perfect for a night on the town.
Trend Alert: Ankle-Climbing Platforms
Want to take yourself higher? Platforms have proven to be a woman's secret weapon. But ankle-climbing platforms have superhero powers.
