You might have noticed the eye-catching bright orange bikini I wore in the “Model’s Guide to Tanning” video. It’s a fantastic piece from the new swimwear line Violet Lake. The black bikini featured is from the same collection, and you’ll see more of them in my Bikini Blitz guides. Here are some reasons why I absolutely love Violet Lake bikinis:
1. They are incredibly flattering. You can buy the tops and bottoms separately, allowing you to mix and match sizes. It’s the closest thing to having a custom-made bikini without spending a fortune! You can select the perfect fit for the bottoms and buy the top separately, similar to shopping for lingerie. Why isn’t this a standard practice? We all want to look as good in our bikinis as we do in our underwear!
2. There are four different styles of tops and bottoms, each available in eight colors. That’s a lot of combinations, but don’t worry, choosing is easy with their online ‘bikini mixer.’ It only took me five minutes to select mine, and the photos show you precisely how the finished set will look, even in your chosen colors. All styles complement each other well. I must say, my choices (seen on the left) are quite inspired!
3. The designs are simple yet luxurious. The fabric is a beautifully soft jersey, and all pieces are lined. In terms of quality and design, they easily compete with my Melissa Odabash bikinis but at a much lower price, around £85 for a set.
4. I know it sounds superficial, but I love that the bikinis are named after Bond Girls. I’m wearing Domino and Galore! The glamour feels oh-so-Moneypenny!
These bikinis aren’t meant to be those quick vacation buys you toss out after a year. They are solid investment pieces that make you look fantastic. They provide ample coverage and support while being stylishly cut, much like your trusty little black dress. They’re worth spending more on and will last for years. Now, we just need Violet Lake to create “007” swimming trunks so our men can channel their inner Daniel Craig!
