Good shops for bikinis for teens??

My 14 year old and I are having a lot of trouble deciding on a bikini that she likes, and I like.
As long as it isn't too skimpy, I'm happy. I realise that we cannot be doing Boden anymore. Sad
So, I need suggestions of good, trendy shops that sell bikinis that appeal to teenagers??
Thanks!
Xx

My 13 year old has just chosen one from the New Look teen range - not too skimpy and not too expensive.

3 x DDs got some in New Look and H&M - the DDs were delighted, and the bikinis were relatively cheap. There are some horrors in there though - you do need to be selective. Not like when they were little and you could just let them loose on the Boden catalogue. Grin

Definitely new look but go with her and try them on. Some which seem quite modest suddenly aren't when you see them on.

DD has a bikini from Lands' end, it's halter neck and not skimpy.

DD is also looking for bikinis and I'm not sure about some of the things she is showing me online.

Off Were the H&M and New Look ones from the teen or adult sections?

New Look or Primark.

But if the trouble is that she hates the ones you approve of, and you hate the ones she likes because they're too skimpy, finding another shop isn't going to be the answer.

Basically, teens are wearing small stringy triangles this year.

But there are a couple of slightly more substantial ones if you scroll down a bit from Hollister

DD (12) has some this year (for the first time!) and the best of the bunch were from M&Co (high street shops and Amazon). She likes the sports tank type ones like this www.mandco.com/tropical-floral-bikini-black/7002270.html?CAWELAID=620005410000968091&gclid=COW0qvGfxNQCFVAQ0wods1oBlQ

Peacocks had a couple of nice ones too, and I love this one from Amercrombie (online, NEVER go in the shop!) www.mandco.com/tropical-floral-bikini-black/7002270.html?CAWELAID=620005410000968091&gclid=COW0qvGfxNQCFVAQ0wods1oBlQ

Ahh, wrong link, but actually the one I was thinking of seems to be sold out anyway, sorry.

Normal New Look is good. Got DD two there last year and she's very fussy.,
