Help me find some beachwear!

[TheGaffer]

My last beach holiday was about 10 years ago and I’ve unexpectedly found myself going on holiday in 2 weeks time to a beachy type resort with about 10 swimming pools….not my usual holiday type at all…I’m more of a city breaker…anyway…here is my ask….

The last time I wore a bikini I had an hourglass figure…big bottom, big boobs and tiny waist…10 years on and 3 kids later I now have bigger bum, big boobs and a waste which while still defined…can no way be described as tiny. I’m thinking more tankini? Size 14 as an indication…occasionally a 12 on top.

Also my décolletage is already crepey after years of sun exposure and not enough sun cream…I’m keen 1. Not to contribute to it getting any more crepey so keep it hidden from the sun and 2. No to be displaying it…it is not pretty…so something quite high fronted?

Any suggestions of what style I can wear that will look stylish yet practical?

hopeful bump?

I’m not sure if rash vest is stylish but defo practical, I wear one all the time abroad as I get too stressed about burning. I got mine from M&S last year. I think with a high neck tankini you risk losing the style points and not gaining enough practicality points so you might as well go all in with a rash vest and whichever boardshorts or bikini bottoms you like.
If you are looking for beach cover ups Arket have a few options like this that would work for you.

Oh a rash vest is a good idea and will hide the unsightly upper arms too!!! I’m off to google 😁
