The most flattering bikini brands to shop this summer

Frankie's Bikinis is one of the most searched for brands in the US and UK, thanks to its collections of sexy string styles in an array of different patterns and colours. As well as Jennifer Lopez, the womenswear label founded by Francesca Aiello counts Pamela Anderson, Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid among its biggest fans. 

The Cola bikini top and Enzo bikini bottoms have just dropped in this trending leopard print that's proved seriously popular on Instagram and makes the perfect skimpy set for summer.

Launched in 2019, Away That Day has very quickly become one of the most coveted global bikini brands. With sustainability at the forefront, plus stylish and flattering fits, all finished with the most luxe feeling fabric, they're without a doubt worth the investment. 

Their pieces are designed to be mixed and matched, and bestsellers include the Palma top, which gives you a natural lift sans padding, and the Fiji bottoms, offering minimal coverage for that micro look.

Former model Melissa Odabash launched her own swimwear line when she couldn't find the bikinis she wanted. Available in chic neutrals, playful prints and vibrant colours, they also come in the most figure-flattering cuts. 

New this summer, the Miami bikini has a ring-embellished top and low-rise side-tie bikini bottoms.

Hunza G's iconic swimwear is famed for its textured sculpting seersucker material and one-size-fits-all pieces. The brand is a hit year after year with fashion fans and has been seen on the likes of Emily Ratajkowski, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Holly Willoughby and Michelle Keegan. 

The Gloria bikini is one of Hunza G's most popular styles and features a bandeau top with high-rise bottoms.

Isa Boulder works exclusively with local Balinese artisans who use timeless techniques and recycled fabrics to create small batches of swimwear pieces, which is done so to minimise waste. 

Chanel Dua Lipa in the Droplets bikini, which is made from lustrous stretch-satin, and features the brand's signature ruched cups. It's perfect to pair with an equally luxe cover up at a beach bar or party.

Those looking to tap intro the micro bikini trend will want to take a look of Tropic of C. Founded by supermodel Candice Swanepoel, the swimwear brand was inspired by her South African heritage and a lifetime spent at the beach. 

Loved by the likes of Hailey Beiber, who has been pictured wearing the Equator top and Praia bottoms, the bikinis mostly feature minimal coverage, with a second skin softness and two-way stretch. The fabric has a matte finish and UV protection.

British swimwear label Toco Swim was launched in 2017 and now has a cult following. Made from buttery soft fabric in stylish and flattering cuts, from skimpy to more modest coverage, you can mix and match their selection of tops and bottoms. 

Worn by the likes of Lucy Watson, the new Paria top is designed to suit all bust sizes, and comes with luxe gold hardware and thick shoulder straps, plus an adjustable tie-back that's so easy to take on and off. I love it paired with the Moka bottoms or Tabanca bottoms.

Aussies know how to do swimwear and Seafolly has everything from classic one-colour styles to gorgeous printed designs. The bestselling brand has just dropped a stunning new collection for 2024, inspired by Sicilian summers.

I love the Ciao Bella bikini, which comes in the most gorgeous bold print and has a bandeau, high-waisted cut 

Since launching swimwear in 2022, SKIMS has sold out every collection, thanks to its inclusive sizing and flattering fits. The minimalist bikinis have a lightweight, form-fitting feel and are designed to be mixed and matched. 

The Triangle top and Dip-Tie bottoms have been modelled by Kim herself and are classic cuts that look amazing on every figure.

Pippa Middleton favourite Heidi Klein has the most stunning selection of swimwear in various cuts, colours and prints. The Slider bikini looks very similar to the set she was spotted in and I love this sky blue shade.

Sakuranna is a new bikini brand I'm obsessed with. Offering luxury swimwear and resortwear, the Alysha bikini is the stand-out piece. Made from the softest fabric, it has a bandeau and high-rise cut and statement gold hardware. Choose from chic black or icy turquoise.

Boux Avenue is famed for its gorgeous, flattering (and affordable) lingerie, but the swimwear is equally covetable. 

Available in three bright shades, I love the Amalfi bikini for a statement style. It comes in a high-shine fabric with a supportive balconette top and Tanga bottoms. 

Lingerie label Bluebella dropped its first swimwear collection this summer, and it comes in a whole range of colours and cuts to suit every figure. It also has one of the most inclusive size ranges I've come across.

I love the Shala bikini in one of this season's trending colours - lilac. It has a classic triangle bikini top with adjustable straps and tie-side bottoms with subtle shell embellishments.
