Once the preserve of the very young or old, one-piece swimsuits are now the swimwear choice for the fashionable.

They used to be the option for covering up and actual physical exercise, which, of course they still are - have you ever tried swimming a length in a bandeau bikini? But the one-piece is so much more. When you choose to wear a one-piece you’re making a style choice that goes beyond tan lines.

Explore our gallery to see our 45 favourite swimsuits, from classic styles, to brights and prints. Make sure you have at least one of them in your summer wardrobe.
