Please help me choose a swimsuit

Every summer it's the same - July arrives and I've found no swimsuit I like, so I wear the same old one I've had for ages.

I'm 51, size 12-14, small boobs, a bit of tummy. In a burnished winter, for those who know, abd suit either bright, cool colours or neutrals with a colour detail (say, charcoal grey with a band of cool yellow below the beasts).

Any ideas? Something non-frumpy if possible.

Batoko! They're so beautiful!

Pour moi - have nice ones. Don't skim on swimsuits!

Do you like short legs or high legs?

Are they comfortable to wear? I'm struggling to get my head round a cossie made from recycled plastic.

TDA is for all the suggestions! I don't like a very high leg, to be honest.

@PollyAmour they're so comfortable. Just soft material like a normal swimsuit with a sort of lining which gives them their great shape and support. They don't feel like recycled plastic luckily!

I have this style from Boden which is really flattering after looking for costumes for ages

Another vote for Boden - I have the Levanzo in black. Very flattering with decent tummy control - comes in various colours. They always seem to have sales too.
