The idea of getting into a bikini seemed like a distant memory until recently, but as the sun finally makes an appearance in the UK this week, we’re growing more and more excited at the prospect of sunbathing again.
Despite the fact holidays abroad are still up in the air, that hasn’t stopped us from trawling through swimwear online. Whether on the beach or in the park, we’ll be making the most of what sunshine we can get – and doing so in style.
Frankies Bikinis are one of the most searched for bikini brands out there (for good reason) so we couldn’t forget them, while another cult classic Hunza G have a new rainbow selection of bikinis to get excited about. ASOS, H&M, NA-KD and Nasty Gal have some affordable bikini sets, while we’ve recently discovered Cossie + Co for sporty and simple swimwear.
Regardless of the pandemic, there are so many nice bikinis available right now whatever the budget. From under £20 for a set, we’ve found 25 minimal, printed, ruffled, string, high waisted bikini sets and everything in between.
