10 summer essentials for a happy holiday.

Swimsuit, £30, Daxon

Remember all the fuss last year that those “Are you beach body ready?” adverts caused?

Well, here’s the news – you’re beach body ready no matter what your shape or size.

Let’s face it – few of us are going to lose a stone before we want to strip off on the beach.

Instead, look for swimwear that you feel good in and then get on with enjoying your holiday.

If you need a bit of support or control, then there are plenty of options out there.

This Daxon swimsuit is underwired, bodyshaping and those horizontal stripes are surprisingly flattering.

If you’ve never shopped at Daxon.co.uk before, you can treat yourself to £15 off if your order is over £30 and free delivery.

Of course, there are plenty of other options available.

On the high street, M&S does a good range of control swimwear and also a DD+ range, which is great if you’re a bit bigger in the boob department.

Spend £40 at M&S at the moment and you qualify for a free beauty box (while stocks last).

M&Co also have a good range that’s worth a look. Wishing you could wear a bikini? Well, what’s to stop you?

There are loads of great styles out there, even for those who have put on a few pounds.

No matter what style you choose or how much you spend, remember this – bad posture doesn’t hide anything.

Stand tall with your shoulders back and your head back and you’ll instantly look leaner and better.

If you’re not sure about styles, halter necks help to balance out your shape and ruching is your best friend if you wish your stomach was a bit flatter.

Whether you buy budget from Primark or splash out on a keep-forever style, try to make sure it contains Lycra.

It will keep longer, hold its shape and hopefully not go baggy which is never a good look!
