Even if you don’t have any immediate sun holiday plans, it’s no harm to be attuned to swimwear right now – the off-peak season is a great time to pick up deals from some of the most luxurious swim and resortwear brands. Traditionally, if you are jetting abroad in winter, it can be hard to pick up good beach and swim attire. Thankfully, today it’s getting a lot easier. The move to seasonless collections in a lot of brands means swimwear is more widely available all year round. Plus, thanks to sustainable initiatives such as Net a Porter’s Net Sustain programme, there are more and more earth-friendly swim brands coming to the fore. We’ll be looking to some of our favourite tastemakers, below, for how to style noteworthy holiday looks …

A classic scooped bikini top, such as Monica de La Villardière’s striped one, will always flatter. Make a statement with a striped or checked pattern for on-trend brownie points. 

Perennial beach babe Vogue Williams elevates her holiday look with a knitted maxi dress from It label Melissa Odabash.

Scottish model Emma Louise Connolly relies on bikinis and swimsuits from sustainable swim label Hunza G. The label’s seamless crinkle fabric means pieces are a one size fit, making them ideal for pregnancy and beyond.

An oversized cotton shirt, as seen on Emma Hoareau, is the perfect beachside companion for winter sun. This one is by B Corp-certified swim label Faithfull the Brand. Each piece is made in Indonesia, where it’s hand dyed and printed by local artisans.
