Go in with a splash

Once you find The One... best bikini or swimsuit that is... it is very hard to part with it.

We've all got the one that fits perfectly, a trusty companion from the summer of yester-year. But considering it's probably been festering at the bottom of a long-life bag somewhere, still unwashed after having enjoyed a holiday-filled post-lockdown summer, the chances are that the ailing elastic will have started to sag, and the colour sadly faded.

With summer on the horizon and trip bookings springing up right, left and centre, it's probably time to invest in a really great new swimsuit or bikini for 2023.

With endless colours, styles, cuts and prints to choose from, swimwear has never been this exciting. Why not channel the cool girl in Oceanus or Oséree's sparkly numbers, or try something different with The Attico's bold animal-print bikinis, think bright colours, tropical greens and golden swimsuits to top of that perfect tan.

This gallery will hopefully help you say farewell to your old polyamide friend and find a new heatwave ally.

From the barely there and gingham sexy bikini sets, to the one-shoulder-one-piece swimsuits and tankinis, we've compiled the best bikinis and swimsuits for 2023.
