If you haven't already started stocking up on the best bikinis, you'll need to get started. With the summer season well on its way, it's the perfect time to grab a new two-piece fit for a beach holiday to Dubai, a spa break or a day lounging in your back garden.

We've spotted plenty of our favourite celebs such as Ciniza Baylis-Zullo sporting adorable bikinis the past few months, so naturally we had to find some of the best to shop right now. From Boux Avenue to PrettyLittleThing, there is a range of bikinis to buy if you're looking to catch a few rays at some point during the next few months.

While there may seem like there is a never ending supply of two piece swimwear, they tend to sell out super fast once the weather begins to heat up. So whether you're on the hunt for a cut-out bikini or a set with a high-waisted brief, we suggest you snap it up before it goes out of stock. Just an FYI, really.

Shop the best that we could find below.

Best bikini overall

ASOS is the PLUG for mix-and-match bikinis. You'll be able to find a whole mass of styles in the huge fashion store, but we love this triangle black bikini, which is perfect for every body, skin tone and style. It takes the pick for our fave bikini overall on the high street - and you can shop the matching bikini brief here.

Best two pack bikini

You can't go wrong with a triangle bikini top and high-leg bikini bottoms - especially when they're this affordable. Luckily, PrettyLittleThing are experts at that. The brand is doing tonnes of two-packs of triangle bikinis this summer, so if this is your style, make sure to grab the sets.

What are the different bikini shapes?

There are many bikini shapes to choose from, so narrowing down your favourite is a challenge. Here's a round-up of all the popular bikinis out there to choose from:

Bandeau style bikini tops: they're basically a boob tube - strapless, which means you won't have any weird tan lines.

Halter bikini tops: the standard type of bikini top because the ties go around your neck rather than towards your back (similar to a bra).

Plunge bikini tops: much like a bra, they're able to wear low-cut tops and cover-ups without your bikini being on show.

High-waisted bikini bottoms: if you're a fan of high-waisted bottoms, then you'll probably love these. Although, they can leave you with an odd tan line.

Thong bikini bottoms: they're usually seen on reality stars and influencers on Instagram. If you want your bum to also get a tan, then these are a must.
