We're thoroughly enjoying the British summer this year - in fact, we're enjoying it so much that we've expanded our swimsuits collection by about twelve pieces. Oh, happy days.
If you're in need of some gorgeous swimsuits that will help you stand out at the pool or on the beach, then you've come to the right place. We've hand-selected some bangin' swimsuits that will suit you, whatever your body shape - from apple to pear, from curvy to tall to petite.

What is my body shape?
Your body is one in a million, so it's going to be unique in comparison to everyone else. However, there are categories you can place yourself in that might help find the best swimsuits to flatter your shape. With the help of lingerie powerhouse Boux Avenue, we've listed a selection of body types you might relate to...
Pear-shaped figure 🍐
Having a pear-shaped body means narrow, delicate shoulders, a smaller bust but much curvier hips. Celebs with pear-shaped bodies include Beyoncé and Rihanna.
Apple-shaped figure 🍎
Apple-shaped bodies tend to have slender shoulders and hips, with curves at the midriff and bigger bust. You'll want swimsuits that celebrate your boobs. Celebs with apple-shaped bodies include Christina Hendricks and Oprah.
An athletic figure 🏃♀️
An athletic figure will have a leaner silhouette and a smaller bust. Often referred to as the 'straight up and down' look, there will be no real difference in size between their shoulders, hips and waist. Celebs with athletic figures include Zendaya and Jennifer Aniston.
Hourglass figure ⏳
An hourglass figure is balanced like an hourglass, with bigger boobs and curvier hips, with a more cinched-in waist at the centre. Celebs with hourglass figures include Sydney Sweeney and Sofia Vergara.
Inverted triangle figure 🔻
Called either the carrot or inverted triangle figure, this body type has wide shoulders, big boobs and narrow hips. Celebs with inverted triangle figures include Renée Zellweger and Angelina Jolie.
As well as swimsuits for these types, we've also got swimwear for petite, tall and curvy gals too, so everyone is invited to the party.

Review: "This is one of the few swimsuits I feel confident wearing! I’m a size 20 with a 38H chest and this covers them really well, would definitely recommend it for women with larger chests who don’t want to worry about spilling out. The tummy control is good and is still comfortable, and the swimsuit covers your whole butt without making it look saggy. A great swimsuit overall."
