Bikinis, Tankinis or Monokinis?

It’s summer holiday season and time for you to choose what additions you want to complete your beachwear wardrobe.

There are at least two good reasons why you need a good piece of swimwear, one, that it makes you look good and two, it will allow you to get the best suntan when lounging at the poolside or on the beach.

I’ve been looking at the different two piece sets that are available and found that Next have a fantastic selection of bikinis and tankinis in various styles and colours and patterns.

The best thing that online high street stores have cottoned onto is to sell the tops and bottoms separately as none of us are a standard size 12 or 14 etc for top and bottom.

If you want to be a bit adventurous you can choose to mix it up a bit or stick to the same matching top and bottoms.

If you would rather cover up your midriff then a tankini is a definite must have. It looks like a bathing costume but is in fact a long top with a separate bikini bottom – which makes it a great way to stir things up with a patterned tankini top with a plain brief or swap it around and opt for a plain top with a jazzy bikini bottom.

On the other hand if you are confident and love to showboat your fabulous figure and tan then invest in a sexy monokini.

These look like a bikini at the back but are a one piece swimsuit.

They have the same design as a bikini at the front but held together from the centre of the bust cup to the centre of the brief by either a chain or the costume fabric.

A very sassy and alluring stylish look to showcase yourself at the pool or on the beach.

So which one will you choose, or buy all three so you have the choice to give yourself a different look and effect on various days of your summer holiday.
