One print that's hotter than ever this year is the classic stripe. Seafolly's Beatnik line has proved a massive hit - simplicity with a twist - and Banana Moon have designed a sweet line in candy stripe bikinis, as well as a bolder red and blue range. There are stripes galore to choose from this year from lots of our brands. Stripes can be incorporated into all the
major trends. Perhaps it's this versatility that has given stripes its staying power. A few of our highlights .
Monochrome
The Seafolly Beatnik Bandeau bikini in monochrome has classic written all over it. The optional halter strap creates a whole new look. Timeless.
Chevron
Another classic, this time with a retro nod to the 50s. This Panache Lucille bikini is cup sized and immensely flattering. Comes with detatchable straps, too. Stunning.
Candy Stripe
The fabulous thing about the Phax range is that the striped bikini separates in the collection can be mixed and
matched with the spot prints. This
Phax Stripe Fixed Halter looks striking teamed with the polka dot hipster pant. There's a slide tri top in the collection too.
Nautical
How cute is this? With contrast stripe and anchor print, a nautical lovely in the shape of the Ginja Popeye 70s Padded Bandeau. If you're not familiar with this Australian brand, check their prints out. They're inspired.
Surf Chic
A more surfy, less structured version of the Panache Lucille, with its cute red buttons and diagonal stripes - the Pomarine Bandeau bikini from Animal.
