As the summer of swimsuits starts, we’ve brought together the sexiest all-in-ones for you
Brit stunner models the hottest swimwear available on the high street
IT’S time to bin the bikini – 2016 is the year of the swimsuit.
While the all-in-one was once seen as the frumpy option, it has been given an incredible makeover – and model Poppy Delevingne now says one-pieces are “the new bikinis”.
She’s right. Gone are the days of functional but ill-fitting cossies – the High Street is now full of super-sexy styles that are both cheeky and bold, featuring plunging necklines and lace-up panels.
Here, Fashion Editor JOELY CHILCOTT picks out some of the best looks around and rates their sex factor so you’ll be sure to achieve poolside perfection.
TIE-DYE SWIMSUIT (£34, Topshop)
Literally held together by a bit of string, this one-piece only just qualifies as a swimsuit.
But the design certainly offers great tanning potential, even if it does mean it’s not one for the faint of heart.

EVANGELINA PLUNGE SWIMSUIT (£20, Prettylittle thing.com; bangles, £8.50, Dorothy Perkins)
Add a real “wow” factor to your holiday wardrobe with this ultra-plunging cossie.
This design is not for shrinking violets but it is sure to get temperatures rising.
