The trouble with Miami Fashion Week is that the swimwear on show can be a bit Brooke Hogan. All triangle tops that are little more than nipple shields and bikini bottoms that ride up way higher than is really safe for public consumption. 

However, Florida’s catwalks need not be a totally inspiration-free zone. While it’s all very well doing the 60s St Tropez thing sometimes, there’s room for a bit of tropicana in your holiday wardrobe too. It’s certainly less absurd to drink rum out of a pineapple in a hypercolour bikini than it would be in a chic black one-piece. Save those for your negroni days.

So have a click-around this gallery of some of the more palatable pieces from the Miami shows, and be inspired by their spirited beach-vibes, before shopping one of these colourful bikinis that might even cover your whole buttocks and boobs.
