What Swimwear Style Suits You?

Winter is slowly saying goodbye and soon we will be in the race to get out bodies ready for bikini season once again. Now that many of our favourite online shops are stocking swimwear once again, it might be tempting to stock up on swimwear before the summer kicks in.

However, how do we know which type of swimwear is the best for our body shape and style? There are so many different types of swimwear out there: bikinis, tankinis, swimsuits, monokinis, cut outs and more… the choices are endless and this can make things pretty difficult for us when it comes to choosing. Luckily we have some suggestions on what you might want to look for in a swimsuit this year...

#TheSwimOfThings with George at Asda

Summer - the time when we all hope with baited breath for good weather and summer holidays filled with sunny days galore.

For many of us summers rich with sunny days evoke thoughts of the beach. Many of us long for lots of days spent at the seaside sunning ourselves on the sand and having a splash in the sea.

Days at the beach often mean donning swimwear - a thought that evokes dread in many (I can sympathise with them as I am one of these women), others relish the thought of slipping in their swimming costume or bikini and looking good on the beach, and then there are the ones who simply do not care how they look and see it as an item of clothing used to embrace the fun of the sand, sea and surf at the beach.

As this time of year is associated with swimwear George at Asda have been getting in with #TheSwimOfThings and researching the latest swimwear trends and finding out what women across the globe thinking about swimwear. To see the full results of their research take a look here.
