Join the flamingo flock!

YOU’VE got your passport, swimsuit and sun cream. But have you remembered 2016’s hottest summer accessory?

Don’t venture anywhere this season without a giant inflatable bird to be photographed on top of in the swimming pool. The trend has been sparked by celebrities including U.S. pop stars Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus and British model Kelly Brook, who have all been lolling about on inflatable flamingos or swans. The photos are then shared on social media. A 120cm-wide flamingo by beach accessories brand Sunnylife is available at Next for £ 55, though John Lewis is already sold out. Selfridges only has toucans left, while Urban Outfitters sells a floating pizza slice for £35 and a doughnutshaped lilo for £22.
