The Ultimate Winter Swimwear Review….
Trying to find swimwear for your honeymoon in the middle of Winter can often be a very difficult task, so I have been searching high and low for the very best swimwear available! I have been testing them all out to find the very best options. Whether you are looking for a bikini, tankini or swimsuit, high leg, low leg, high waistband, low waistband, strapless, halterneck or both, I have found something for everyone, large and small, in every budget.
Poko Pano Pink Palms Bikini
I adore this polka dot and palm leaf bikini from Poko Pano. The sliding halter dot bikini top is enhanced with black disc details, and it ties at the back and neck. The bikini bottom has a large palm leaf print with a contrasting waistband of pink and white stripes. The bottom is available in Brazilian Cut (for minimal coverage) and European Cut (for more coverage). This is a really fun bikini and it’s very flattering, definitely on my favourites!

Fantasie Corsica Bandeau Bikini
This is such a gorgeous bikini from Fantastie. It is a beautiful grey/silver colour and has detachable straps so it can be worn as a strapless bikini or as a normal bikni. Unlike many strapless bikinis this bikini gives great support to larger busts, I felt totally secure when swimming. The bikini bottoms are designed to be worn rolled up to give high coverage over the stomach or rolled down to have a thick waistband that hides all those unforgiving lumps and bumps. Extremely versatile! This was definitely another favourite!

Rigby and Peller Ruffles Roll Top Bikini Brief
This brand bew bikini from Rigby and Pellar is simply gorgeous, it comes in Chocolate Brown and Rapberry, both colours are stunning! The roll top bikini brief is designed to give excellent coverage on the bottom, you can either roll it down to give a skirted look or wear it rolled up high to cover up your stomach, fab for when you are feeling bloated or just want a bit less on display! The balcony bikini top is glamorous and sophisticated and give fabulous cleavage. The rouched bow detail between the bust adds a glamorous detail while cups are underwired and constructed in 3 parts for excellent shape and support for fuller busts. This is a truly stylish bikini that suits everyone!

Leg Avenue Silver Sequinned Bikini
This is such a show stopping bikini, it is covered in silver sequins and has giant black bows on each side of the bikini bottoms and the middle of the top. This is more of a lounging around on the beach bikini than a swimming bikini, you need to take care as the bikini as it quite delicate. It comes up quite small so I would recommend this bikini for petite women, the M/L would probably fit a size 10/12 with a small bust, but if you have a petitie frame then bikinis don’t get much more fabulous than this one!

Lepel Halter Bikini Orange and brown
This is a fantastic halterneck bikini, with a gorgeous high leg brief and underwired halter neck top. The bikini top has a fine red glass bead detailing sewn on and an adjustable halter strap.
It gives wonderful support and it really flatters larger busts. The bikni bottoms are really flattering to most shapes and sizes. I am not usually a fan of halterneck bikinis as they rarely have support and can make you boobs look less than pert, but this one is a winner!

Lepel Sorrento Swimsuit
I love, love, love this swimsuit from Lepel. I am not usually a fan of swimsuits but this is so flattering and really makes the most of a curvasious figure. It makes the tummy look great and the underwired built in bra is just amazing for support. I find that swimming custumes usually flatten the bust but this one really enhances your chest and gives you fabulous cleavage and support. I can reccomend this highly enough. It also comes in red!
