It is not easy to find a bikini that makes you feel good about yourself. When I first step onto the beach with pasty British skin I like to have an outfit that will boost my confidence.

The Cos bikinis take the common female insecurities into consideration. Comfortable, flattering and available to buy as separates, so you can purchase a set that fits and flatters your figure. I was positively surprised by the swimwear, and particularly loved the simple pastel and striped designs.

The bikini tops are soft shaped, in a triangle style made from lightly textured pique fabric. With lined cups, they have thin adjustable straps and a matte clasp fastening at the back. The bikini bottoms have a smooth lining and are cut to sit low on the waist and high on the leg. I found them much more comfortable than most. Bikinis are sized XS-L and are priced between £15-19 for single top/bottom, so around £34 for a set.
