One of the greatest things about living through a time of “anti-fashion”, when ugly shoes refuse to exit stage left, “goblin mode” is the word of the year and fashion takes a decidedly dishevelled turn, is that we get to wear what we want. Only, how does that apply to swimwear?
Well, you can look at Instagram, where it appears suits are getting more skimpy. But if you’re sitting, like most of us, in front of Netflix with the air conditioner blasting as you eke out the final days of your summer break, it’s handy to know that all that bingeing is also doing double duty as the best swimwear window shopping this side of a trip to a beach club.

The rule: Thou shall stick to a silhouette you know – for life.
In season three, much is made of the fact it’s the Parisian summer (it’s hot, we get it, the French don’t do AC, blah blah, pour us another kir royale). When the staff at the Savoir marketing firm are not whingeing about baking in the office, there is some seriously good swimwear inspiration, thanks to the titular character and her roommate, Mindy. When they visit a pool club in episode five (the scene was shot at Paris’ Hotel Molitor), Emily (Lily Collins) dons a gingham set by Leslie Amon that gives major South Pacific vibes. But it’s Mindy’s (Ashley Park) hot pink and gold one-piece by Agent Provocateur that steals the show.
The takeout: Thinking outside the box in terms of silhouette can restore the fun factor to shopping for swimwear. A swim skirt, like Emily’s, can add coverage without being too conservative, while some bling on an otherwise solid colour suit is a great alternative to a print. Just watch the metal doesn’t get too hot in the sun – ouch. Try: Romance Was Born, Zimmermann, Infamous Swim.

The rule: Men should avoid matching sets, lest they look like pyjamas.
