As a fashion editor, I spend every day scrolling through high street websites, visiting stores and researching trends. It’s June, summer fashion is well underway and some sales have even begun. We’ve already updated our roundups of the best high-street swimsuits, Boden swimsuits and how to wear a bikini and feel comfortable. But recently, Next has come out with a swimsuit that immediately stopped me in my tracks. Swimwear so flattering, it deserves its own dedicated piece.

With navy and cream stripes, tummy-control shaping and side-ruching details, the £39 wonder swimsuit is the most flattering version I’ve seen all year – even over the past few years. This piece will look great on ANY woman and I needed to tell you all about it…

Available in a 6-26 regular size range, and 10-20 tall, it’s as inclusive as it is gorgeous. Wire-free cups mean comfort isn’t sacrificed, because no one wants underwires digging in while relaxing on the beach. And with a UPF50+ rating, it’ll also protect you adequately from the sun (yes, you can get burnt beneath poor-quality swimwear)

This swimsuit will look timelessly chic by itself or when thrown on with a white maxi skirt and glam summer hat for a lunchtime stroll or when leaving the pool. A purchase you’ll bring out summer after summer, it’ll help you look and feel your best self – which is the most important thing for swimwear. You can thank me later!
