Wow, swimwear sure got ugly this season, didn’t it? It’s curious that, given the whole range of cute bikinis and classy one-pieces they could be making, swimwear manufacturers seem to have gone instead for the trashy looking cutaway one-piece – a style that could only be made worse if they were to stick sequins on it, make it in animal print, and then tie die it.

Which is exactly what River Island have done with this one. Shucks.

Note to swimwear manufacturers: OK, you’ve had your little joke, but the joke’s over now, OK? Now, start making cute swimwear for us again. Thanks.
