Available from FigLeaves £45
For some girls there is a mental block when it comes to the B-I-K-I-N-I. No matter how hard some try there is just no way that they are going to wear one in public even if they have demanded it of themselves in the run up to their holiday.
As each year goes on summer swimwear is becoming more and more forgiving for the female form. Now beach trousers have been introduced for the most self conscious of us all, but we think what should be high on the agenda is a good spoon full of confidence and a cut out swimsuit.
If your stomach is your biggest worry then this cut out swimsuit from very.co.uk is fabulous. It's trendy and flattering and will help to hide away any insecurities while still giving you the confidence to show off some curves. Only £25.
This is a femalefirst fave. We love the fishnet pattern at the edges, very sexy. Similar with the one above, this suit should be your arm bands before you take the plunge with the bikini. Black is, as we all know, slimming and so you needn't worry about anything other than rocking this swimsuit! £32 Dorothy Perkins.
This is a great little number. The rings make for great detail and will distract you from how much skin is on show. If you are uncomfortable find a sarong to wear to and from the sea. A handy hint, they're great for throwing around yourself when having a chat to strangers to make you feel more comfortable when you're talking. £30 Asos.
Neutral, earthy tones are a winner with this swimsuit and the panel on the front is great to cover up a little. Available from Figleaves online for £42 - this is the kind of beautiful bargain we like to see.
Sharp and sexy - you won;t find another swim suit like this in a hurry. It may be revealing, but as much as some bikinis. Go on...live a little! Asos £32.
