Florals

Floral prints are always popular over the warmer months and New Look have embraced the trend with this tropical printed plunge front swimsuit £22.99. Perfect for lounging by the pool, the halter tie detail and deep front plunge make this style totally on trend.

Tribal

Embrace your wild side in a geometric printed bikini by M&S Collection (top £33.50, bottoms £14). The high coverage, sporty halter crop top makes this bikini perfect for jumping in and out of the pool or the sea, and the muted colours are brought to life with a splash of bright yellow and a hint of brick red, which will look stunning on all skin tones.

Colour block

Be bright in a showstopping, all over colour two piece for maximum poolside appeal. This scalloped edge bikini from River Island (£28) has a racer back detail and metallic strapping feature for extra summer sparkle.

Embroidery

Embroidery has been seen all over the high street this season as a grown up way to achieve the boho look. This River Island suit (£35) combines classic 50's shapewear styling with a beautiful floral embroidery detail. The navy base is universally flattering and the bright yellow trim and turquoise edging adds a fresh, modern feel.

Mesh

Mesh and cut-outs have been another key trend for SS17 and they have been seen on tops, bodysuits, even jeans! Bring this trend to your swimwear too with this Topshop mesh detail swimsuit, £40. A delicate floral pattern adds a feminine edge to the suit, which could even be worn as a bodysuit for an evening a the poolside bar.
