Wanted! 40s style stripe halter bikini from Topshop

40s style bikini from Topshop Wanted! 40s style stripe halter bikini from Topshop

We know bikini season is already a thing of the past here in the Northern hemisphere, but we’ve had our beady eyes on this retro style stripe bikini from Topshop for a few days now, and have noticed that it’s selling out fast online, so we figured it was our duty to inform you of its existence, just in case you have a winter sun break planner or, er, need something to wear in the jacuzzi at the gym.

We love the retro shape of this, from the figure-flattering (on some figures, at least) high-waisted bottoms, to the nautical stripes, which are just begging to be worn with bright red lipstick and a pair of cat’s eye sunglasses. If you don’t have a good reason to wear it now, well, you can’t start planning for next summer soon enough, can you?

Swimwear Section: Red or Dead retro 50’s Style Swimsuits

retro 50s swimsuit Swimwear Section: Red or Dead retro 50’s Style SwimsuitsAs regular readers will be well aware, one thing that’s always guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of The Fashion Police is a good old-fashioned dose of retro-inspired swimwear.

These 50s style suits by Red or Dead, then, are right up our boardwalk. Cut to cover much more than modern swimwear, these will be a little more forgiving to the figure, but are so cute and fun that you’d never suspect them of being anything so dull as “shapewear”.

At £62, these are a little more expensive than many swimsuits we’ve seen this year, but if you think they’re worth it, you can snap them up at Oli.

We spotted this green ‘Ava’ dress, which is more or less identical to the one worn by Christina Hendricks in the image on the left, and would be perfect for Hendricks-style curvy figures.

This is also available in teal, and you can buy it here.
