Reading this on your office computer, or on your phone on the way home from work? Yeah, not all of us are on holiday. But the (questionably) good news for those of us tied to our desks is that celebrities are doing their bit by jetting off for fabulous tropical vacations and documenting the whole thing on Instagram.

Look at these unsolicited pictures as an opportunity to get some poolside styling tips before your own break – will you be rocking stilettos on a lounger, like Paris Hilton? Or making a sartorial tribute to your chaotic student traveller days, like model Hanne Gaby Odiele? Pull up a chair, crack open a G&T in a can and allow our round-up of Instagram's best swimwear to transport you to a better place.
