Alexa Chang’s swimsuit

[valleyofadventure]

I’d really like a one-piece swimsuit; I don’t have Alexa’s model figure - and I’m early 50s - but I am slim and I don’t want something with tummy-ruching or similar.

By the same token, I don’t want anything really plain with super-skinny straps that only looks good on a teen model, or anything “glam” ie high-cut, leopard print, any sort of lacing, plunging or thonging.

I can’t find anything that’s cool in a non-teen way. Everything seems to be frumpy, sporty, love-islandy or Bet Lynch glam. My non-swimwear clothes are usually fairly simple / gamin / minimalist; I like beautiful colours/graphics/shapes.

I really like what I can see of Alexa Chung’s swimsuit here - anyone know where I can find similar? (This pic is from 2014).

Oh for God’s sake - not Alexa Chang obviously.

these?

Toast normally have good swimsuits but I just had a look and they aren’t great

Jesus, don't you hate it when you get to the pool and there's no sunbeds left and your towel is so little you have to hoik your head and legs in the air?

Oysho do some nice swimwear.

Along the right lines, thank you, not keen on the colours though. Shame they have such a small selection.

Oh thank you everyone - wow, there are some really nice things on La Redoute, I never think to look there.

Oysho interesting too, not quite hitting the mark for me. Funnily enough, looked at Andie yesterday, didn’t find anything though. The Missoni ones are lovely, though I’m not sure they’d suit my colouring (and they’re well over my budget 😂)

I find the current trend is for a Brazilian cut at the back which is too skimpy for me. I’ve bought a costume from Summersalt which is lovely but I know people also recommend Boden which are also pretty chic looking.

Thanks Divebar - I like that Boden one, sold out in my size in the navy, am mulling other colourways!!
