With summer on its way it time to start thinking about holidays and what wear on the beach and if there is one item that is so important to get right it has to be swimwear.

This season the catwalks were full of retro references so now is really the time to make sure that you look like a true beach goddess.

Whether you are bikini girl or more of a one piece lady there was definitely a style to suit you on the spring/summer catwalks.

On thing is for certain there is definite 50s feel to this season’s look for example Marc by Marc Jacobs went for a 50s style theme with belted floral costumes with a cute button detail. While bikinis are also going retro – think Elizabeth Taylor and you won’t go far wrong. Nanette Lepore, Michael Kors and Elie Tahari all opted for high waisted bottoms with bikini tops. If going for this look the trick is to think 50s pin up so on bikinis high waisted bottoms and halter necks are good details to look for while on costumes look for things like ruching for that nod to the 50s, while polka dots and stripes are good retro detailing. When it comes to styling this look go for wedge heels, a gorgeous bag, oversized sunglasses and either a big hat or headscarf for full on Hollywood glamour. Even if you are holidaying in Clacton you can still look like you are in St Tropez.

You can also channel one of this season’s big trends – colour blocking, by opting for beachwear in bright jewel like colours. Go for bright reds, blues or pinks to inject a bit of fun and colour into your beach wardrobe and of course to stand out (for the right reasons) on the sun lounger.

Whatever design you go for it is important to get a swimming costume or bikini that makes you feel comfortable and shows of your best assets. Therefore, shop around for a great piece and find one that makes you feel amazing wherever you go on holiday.
