Swimsuit recommendations

[NatashaWeber]

Off on hoilday later this year and want to look cute by the pool/on the beach so where is everyone buying budget fridendly swimsuits that aren't high leg because I hate those, they look great on some but they aren't good for my shape at all.

I'm anywhere between a size 20/22/24 and don't have a big bust.

Thank you in advance!

What does budget friendly mean for you OP? I really like the M and S swimsuits, they're usually about £30 - is that reasonable enough or are you looking for more of a bargain?

I have found they have perfectly acceptable legs as long as I am not wearing too big a size - I have some that are a bit big now and those are a problem because my body isn't filling out the whole of the body so the bottom wants to ride up.

My friend is also always a fan of Sainsbury's for all clothing including swimsuits.

Something under £50, hopefully not too revealing and easy to move in. It'd be a bonus if it's flattering too, just can't compete with those models in the promo shots.

Well, it is a relief to finally find someone who shares my thoughts! I definitely don't have a 'beach body', especially after having my second child last year-I am not quite back in shapes. Swimsuits that reveal too much just do not work for me. I ended up getting 2 bikinis from Seafancy. The tops look more like sports bras, and the bottoms are high-waisted shorts, which offer much more coverage.

They even have some cute, fashion details, so I suppose they could be considered sporty chic?

I absolutely love them! Compared to regular bikinis, I feel much more at ease wearing these, especially when I am out with the kids. Plus, Seafancy's prices are generally under ￡40, so you might want to have a look and see if there is sth. that catches your eye.

I looked at seafancy and really liked the designs but the trust pilot reviews were appalling if you needed to return so I didn't dare. It sounds like the quality is good but I would be worried about the sizing buying online.

@NatashaWeber I have had sale bargains from Boden before that have been gorgeous. E.g. this one is the same design but a different fabric and I used to get loads of compliments on it. It only lasted about 18 months but I was swimming 3x a week.

Look on simply be - lots of options in the sale due to time of year

Wow, the pattern on this is absolutely gorgeous! It's a pity it's a triangle bikini, though—I really need a high-leg cut. Maybe I'll consider it in the future. Thanks for sharing!

I have never heard of Seafancy before, but your recommendation has really piqued my interest. I'll definitely check it out, thanks so much!

Look up Batako. Cool prints and not overly expensive. Made from recycled materials

Highly recommend Cupshe. I was doubtful because they seemed too good to be true, but their bikinis are lovely. I’m a size 12 with wide hips/big bum and small boobs, so always struggle with a flattering fit. I hate the fact that most bikinis either have massive bottoms that make me feel like I’m wearing a nappy, or have a super high leg/string bottoms that have everything hanging out. I’ve found loads of really nice styles on Cupshe, ended up buying two pairs and even had women coming up to me on my holiday asking me where I had bought them from.
