It may be November but I’m talking about Swimwear! Even if it is pretty Baltic outside, I’ve got you covered for swimwear if you’re heading on a Winter Sun break or just looking for something new for a trip to the Spa! I’ve always hated shopping for swimwear. There has been many times that you would have found me in a department store’s fitting room in tears that nothing would fit. I’m quite short, average build with big boobs. The high street is quite terrible when it comes to finding something that doesn’t make me look like either a Glamour Model or ages me by 30 years! It’s taken me a while but I’ve finally found some swimwear saviours at Simply Beach which I am currently obsessed with.
Simply Beach is an online swimwear website which is home to many different designer brands such as Melissa Odabash, Seafolly, Stella McCartney and many more. It’s the brand Pour Moi who have caught my attention recently and I’ve picked up a couple of items which I really love. Pour Moi’s tagline is to “Love Every Body”. They aim to create flattering swimsuits for a range of shapes and sizes.
Black Escape Rope Swimsuit*
The first two items are Swimsuits from Pour Moi and they are both in the Escape Rope Style. I’ve gone for one Black and White swimsuits as they are both just classic styles. The white swimsuit is double lined and I can safely say they are high-quality pieces so there will be no seen through incidents. For reference, I’m a 34E and aside from the tropical bikini, I picked everything up in a size 12. I’ve found that the lace-up style makes it so comfortable to adjust whilst still showing off a little bit of skin and being secure! I’m really happy with these pieces and can’t wait to wear them on a beach somewhere hot – hopefully soon!
Tropical Reef Bikini Top* // Tropical Reef Bikini Bottoms*
The next item I picked up was also from the brand Pour Moi and it’s a bikini in the Reef style. I’m not sure if you can tell from my bedding, that I’m a big fan of anything tropical print. This bikini is a perfect match for my bedding! I got the swimsuits in a Size 12 but this bikini is carried in a C-G cup size so I got this in a 34E and it fits perfectly! I’d have preferred high waisted bottoms option but these are still pretty flattering!
Ted Baker Scallop Swimsuit*
Finally, I thought I’d also share this swimsuit from Ted Baker. I was unsure whether this would suit or even fit me as I also got this in a Size 12. It ended up fitting perfectly and although the mesh cut out detail isn’t something I would usually go for – I’m really happy with how it looks. I think the scalloped detailing is so cute and the swimsuit has shaping technology to flatter your shape and give you support.
All my Swimwear bit’s came in a big Simply Beach box which you can optionally add to your order. I thought this was a really nice touch. I’ve decided to keep all my swimwear in this box so it’s all together in one place. Overall, I’m so pleased with my new items from Simply Beach. It’s always a bit stressful swimwear shopping but as I said Pour Moi is one of my go-to favourite brands. Also, I was pleasantly surprised with Ted Baker too! I’d highly recommend both brands if you’re a similar shape to myself and struggling with what’s on the high street!
