So we might not be heading off on a foreign holiday this year, but we’re planning a staycation or two, whether away from home or just in the back garden. And we’re hoping for a nice stretch of sunny weather, so when we close our eyes and lie back on our sunlounger on the grass, we could easily be in Spain. No really, we could…
One thing we certainly won’t be missing out on this year is a swimwear update. With the trend for open-water swimming, public pools and lidos reopening and sales of hot tubs on the rise, there are plenty of opportunities to work it in a stylish new swimming costume or cute bikini, even if we’re not boarding a Ryanair flight at 3am. And in 2021, we’re here for body confidence at all sizes - our swimwear range is available in sizes 6-32 and we have plenty for pregnant women in our maternity line, too.
We truly believe that all bodies are beautiful, especially when enjoying the pure pleasure of a refreshing swim. So here are our top picks for stylish swimwear at every size, whether you’re sunbathing in your back yard or striking out into open water.
Stylish swimwear for your size
If the most you plan to do in your new swimwear is tip a toe in your kid’s paddling pool, you can choose something super stylish that looks the biz for all that lying around. Athletic figures will look incred in this retro floral style, which has a belt to add definition at the waist. Curvy babes will rock these high-waisted bikini bottoms, which can be paired with a full-support halterneck top or this chic floral print tankini top. We’re also digging this bold and bright floral print one-piece for the ultimate confidence boost.
Those with smaller boobs can rock this twisted bandeau top or the classic triangle shape with matching bottoms.
And if you have a baby on board, we’re loving this chic backless number and this beautiful blue bikini, both cut to accommodate a growing bump.
Practical pieces for serious swimming
If your summer of swimming will be more about laps in the pool than soaking in a hot tub, you’ll need performance swimwear that supports your sport. Especially if you’re swimming outdoors, suits with more coverage and innovative fabrics make the experience safer and more enjoyable.
If you’re looking for something with that extra coverage for outdoor swimming, this legsuit comes further down the leg without hindering movement, making it ideal for a dip in the sea (bbrrrr!).
Adidas Performance swimwear is designed to support serious pool swimming, and this classic black style will help you keep those laps going. We also love the super bright neon of this Speedo style to keep you visible while in the water. And if you prefer the surfer look, these swim shorts are great for bringing that beach vibe. For pregnant women wanting a sportier look, this tankini top has a front zip for extra coverage and can be teamed with under-bump bikini bottoms, or try this sporty style black swimming costume, which has plenty of space for a bump without looking baggy.
Whatever your plans for the warmer weather – a cheeky dip in your local pond, 50 laps a day at the community centre pool or a sunny afternoon paddling with your kids, we’ve got the swimwear to suit your lifestyle and your body type. Take a look at all our stylish swimwear options here.
