Swimwear

January is the time when thoughts inevitably travel, specifically towards planning your next holiday – well you need something to sustain you through those cold grey days and long dark nights. So what better time to update your swimwear collection?

Whether you’re looking for a classic one-piece, a skimpy bikini or something in between, we found a vast selection from which to choose on some of our favourite retailers. Added bonus: a new bikini is the ultimate inspiration if your January fitness resolutions are beginning to lag.

Lingerie

When it comes to budget-busting, bang-for-your-buck, choosing items that are rarely seen can seem counter-intuitive. But investing in underwear is the ultimate sales strategy – trends are far slower-moving so your purchase won’t date quite so quickly as an ‘it-bag’, say.
