The Best of The Best Swimwear Trends for 2018…

As I found out on Instagram, a lot of you have holidays coming up to somewhere warm and sunny! Although swimsuit shopping can feel like such an overwhelming task, I actually think it can be quite fun, as you may have seen in my Jamaica Swimwear Diary! What’s more exciting than finally being able to get your tan on in a beautiful, warm, sunny location right? Since my trip to Jamaica was so early on in the summer, I have become very well versed in all the best swimwear trends for 2018. Whether you’re after the perfect one piece, a high waisted bikini, or just something to rank up that Instagram likes, I’ve highlighted the three swimwear trends you need in your resort wardrobe this summer! Trust me on this one, you’re going to love each and every one! As always, make sure your AdBlocker is off so you can see my shop widget and have access to all the best pieces out there in each style!

The High Waisted Bikini

If there’s a swimsuit style that is trending right now, it’s the high waisted bikini. What was once considered an “old” style to wear, the high waisted bikini is now coming in hot with lots of amazing (and super cute!) sets to choose from! This style is especially suited towards petite girls like me. It really makes our legs look elongated and flatters our waists and upper body! I had two high waisted bikinis on my trip; one from Zimmermann and one from Missoni. Both of these are investment pieces but I’ve linked to some more affordable options below as well! Well worth the purchase!


Zimmermann High Waisted Bikini

This is the bikini I wore in Jamaica! It’s a luxury piece that is totally worth the price

Tularosa High Waisted Bikini

I love the stripes on this piece and the detailing on the top! 

ASOS High Waisted Bikini

One of the cutest high street finds! The tie front top is another trend for swimwear in 2018 so this is a two in one and for an amazing price!

The One Piece

If you’re thinking Baywatch and the most amazing 90’s vibes then the one piece is for you. What I love about this particular swimwear trend is that it’s universally flattering no matter what your body type. I always feel so comfortable in a one piece, and we all know that when you feel confident in something, you are guaranteed to look great in it! My favourite one piece is actually one I invested in last year from Solid & Striped. It’s a timeless style and they have so many amazing ones to choose from. I’ve also linked to some of the cutest one pieces I’ve found on the high street! Ready for your beach run?



Solid & Striped One Piece Swimsuit

I love the belt detail on this piece. It is so chic and one of the best sellers this summer!

Seafolly One Shoulder One Piece

I love a one piece with a bit of sass like this one shoulder swimsuit from Seafolly! 

& Other Stories One Piece

You know a piece from & Other Stories is going to be cute; especailly if it’s got ruffles and comes in red! 

Rainbow Stripes

I, more than anyone, am so excited about the massive embrace of colour! You know I love a good bright piece so rainbow striped bikinis were a trend I just had to include! It’s one of those trends that is selling out, and selling out fast so make sure to get your hands on at least one of the pieces I’ve picked out just for you below! If you feel like this trend may be a bit too bright for you, why not try it in pastel tones? Or if you’re not feeling that, go for simple candy stripes (Think this bikini from Next; I was so pleasantly surprised by the quality!)


Skye & Staghorn Rainbow Bikini

I love the tie up details on the bottoms of this one. it’s so chic with the bandeau top! 

Solid & Striped Striped Bikini

This one is my personal favourite and the one that I wore on my trip! The bikinis from Solid & Striped are worth the price because of their high quality and flattering fit. 

Tularosa Pastel Bikini

If the bright rainbow stripes are too much for you, why not try this subtle pastel version? Sure to look fabulous against your tan!

The Perfect Holiday Packing List…

With summer finally here, we are all in the midst of planning our summer vacations, which means you are in need of the perfect holiday packing list. If you’re going somewhere warm and sunny like Jamaica or the Carribean (or anywhere with a beach for that matter; that means Italy too!) and are wondering what to pack for a week at the beach, I have got you covered from the perfect holiday outfits, the most adorable sandals and the best summer accessories too. Follow my holiday packing list and you’ll be having your most stylish holiday yet!

Starting with clothes, I’ve rounded up some of my favourite pieces that are perfect for mixing and matching while you’re away. Remember that with every statement or colourful piece, you need a good basic to go with it. Personally, Uniqlo is my favourite spot for affordable and good quality basics. My suitcase to Jamaica was full of white t-shirts and linen shirts, along with these key pieces!

In terms of accessories, I like to go bold and colourful because holidays are the best time to do just that! Don’t be afraid to get creative! For example, use your favourite silk scarf in your hair, or tie it over your bikini as a bandeau top! Paired with a great pair of linen trousers, you are set!

Lastly, the right beauty products are essential when you are in the sun! I’ve linked to my favourite suncare right now, the best after sun care lotion, and some amazing oils to keep you glowing and moisturised without messing your tan!

Fashion blogger Shloka Narang of The Silk Sneaker shares her picks for the best swimsuits for summer 2018 including high waisted bikinis and stylish one pieces from Zimmermann, Solid and Striped and Topshop

Day One: The Chic One Piece

Luxury

On our first day there, I opted for a stylish and classic one piece from one of my favourite swimwear brands, Solid & Striped. This one piece is a classic cut and universally flattering so you know it will last season after season. I’ve linked to this swimsuit, and a few affordable, but still stylish, options below. Make sure your ad blocker is off so you can see these amazing options.

Day Two: Candy Stripes

High Street

I am totally obsessed with stripes this season and this striped bikini is no exception. I wore this on day two and was so impressed with the quality of this swimsuit. I love the fun yellow and white stripes as well. This one is from Next which you can get here. For other affordable options, or for an investment piece, scroll the widget below.

Day Three: The Frill Bikini

High Street

We went to a local beach on day three where I wore this pink frilled Topshop bikini. I love the delicate frilled details on the top; another super flattering piece. This is from last season, but it’s still available in baby pink and they also made a frill bikini in baby blue. For more options see below!

Day Four: The New Designer

Luxury

You all know how much I love discovering new designers and Hunza G is my latest crush. They are a London based company who make the cutest swimwear. I particularly love this bikini becuase of the tortoise shell detail and the terry fabric. Plus, the colour is mind blowing! I got this one from Koi Bird, a swimwear pop up in Marylebone which is very much worth checking out if you have a trip coming up!

Day Five: The Classic Bikini

Luxury

If you’re looking for a flattering, classic bikini worth investing in, look to Heidi Klein. Her styles are cut to perfection and her prints will last you season after season. This stripe bikini for example, would never go out of style! You guys were loving it on Instagram and I’m sure it’s because Heidi Klein has the best cuts!

Day Six: The Rainbow Touch

Luxury

Another amazing piece from Solid & Striped! I picked this piece up right before I left for Jamaica and I am so glad I did. The colours look amazing against a tan and the style is also really comfortable. I wore this when we went river rafting down the Rio Grande! I’ve linked to this one and some more affordable rainbow pieces for this season below.

Day Seven: The Show Stopper

Luxury

I bought this Zimmermann swimsuit back in January and have been waiting to wear it since then. I was so excited to finally share it with you all on this trip to Jamaica. Everything about this swimsuit is beautiful, from the detailing of the flowers on the bottom, the chic waist belt, the high waisted style and the off shoulder top! If there was ever a swimsuit worth the splurge, this is it. Of course, I’ve linked to a few more affordable options of high waisted swimsuits below!

Day Eight: The Iconic Piece

Luxury

The Missoni print is unmistakable and if you’re looking to expand your luxury swimsuit collection, investing in a Missoni piece is well worth it. The other pro about investing in a Missoni swimsuit is that they are timeless and last forever. It’s a print that will never go out of style so you know you’re getting your money’s worth! I opted for a high waisted style again. It’s very flattering for petite girls like me! I’ve linked to some more affordable printed options below.

Day Nine: The Surprise

High Street

You know when you look at a swimsuit and you aren’t sure if it’s going to look that great, but you suddenly put it on and fall in love with the style? This black bikini from Frankie Swimwear was exactly that. I wasnt’ sure if I was going to love the one shoulder style but once I put it on I felt so chic! It’s a very minimal yet bold style and something that anyone can rock! This one is available on The Bikini Project; a website that just launched today!
