We’ve got holiday fever here at Brastop HQ and we’re itching to get ourselves on a sandy beach with a cocktail in hand, so to while away the days/weeks/months until it’s our turn to jet off we’ve been window shopping our D+ swimwear section.
All of us women know that a Little Black Dress is a wardrobe essential, especially when you’re going on your hols and need a glam outfit for a night on the town, but what about swimwear and suitcase essentials? Apart from the obvious sunglasses and sun cream, you need a bikini! So what about a Little Black Bikini? Sleek and stylish and available in a range of shapes and styles to suit all body shapes, we think a LBB is something everyone needs in their suitcase! Their simple designs make them easy to style so they’re perfect for every destination with total mix-and-match-ability. Take a look at our top 5 ranges right now to get some holiday inspo…
The Curvy Kate Sheer Class swimwear range is at the top of our list of must-have LBBs! It uses simple, clean lines with a modern and timeless design for killer style, mixing opaque fabrics with sheer mesh panels to highlight and contour your beautiful curves. Choose from a classic foam lined balconette bikini top (with convertible straps!), or the stunning bandeau which can be worn completely strapless. Pair it up with one of the three matching briefs - a classic mini bikini brief with sheer mesh sides, the retro-inspired high waist brief for that hourglass silhouette, or the versatile deep fold brief with a mesh waistband that can be worn high or low on the hips. It's a total mix and match dream so you’ll be guaranteed to look fab-u-lous no matter which combo you opt for!
If you’re looking for something a bit more fun, look no further than the Flirtelle Miami Coast range. With cute white spot print it’s a monochrome must-have, with the foam lined balconette bikini top offering fabulous fit and support up to a 40K. A coordinating high waist brief gives you an hourglass silhouette for killer curves, while the classic bikini brief provides a lower rise for maximum tan.
The Panache Anya Riva swimwear range is oh-so elegant in a simple solid black design. The bikini top is non-padded for a natural shape, but lined with supportive powermesh so you'll be lifted and secure all day long. There are three styles of matching swim briefs to choose from - the gathered brief with a classic bikini coverage, a fold bikini brief which can be worn high or low on the hips, and a chic swim skirt for those who prefer a little extra coverage. Whichever option you choose there’s one thing for sure - you’ll be looking like a million dollars by the pool!
Chic, slick and stylish – Curvy Kate Wrapsody is an amazingly versatile bikini. We picture ourselves on a fancy cruise liner in the middle of the ocean in this! Based on the best-selling Curvy Kate Luxe strapless bra, it ensures perfect lift and support both in and out of the water. It provides instant style with sheer, floaty mesh panels that can be wrapped, tied and twisted however your imagination can think of - meaning you save on suitcase space as you can create a whole week's worth of looks with just one bikini! A chic brief coordinate brings it all together with elegance and class - perfection!
Last on the list but certainly not least, this gorgeous polka-dot style! Pour Moi's Mini Maxi swimwear range is styled with cute polka dots and frills, giving a twist to a classic LBB. Non-padded cups are lined with powermesh in a balconette shape for perfect support and fit, with an array of matching bikini briefs - super high waist control brief, classic mini brief, or a versatile fold over brief. Mix and match to find your perfect style with this super cute range!
