Beach Bums
Poolside, beachside, paddling poolside (under an umbrella) – wherever you are this summer you’re going to need swimwear, towels and lilos to hand. Read on to see our fave swim picks for the coming months. Who likes short shorts!
FOR HER : WE ARE HANDSOME
The Canine bikini available from Selfridges

We’ve been seeing We Are Handsome everywhere lately. Our fave from the Aussie designers is The Canine, in scoop back, body suit or bikini.
FOR HIM: ORIEBAR BROWN X DAVID HICKS
Setter Swim Shorts available from Mr Porter
£165
Orlebar Brown has collaborated with interior designer David Hicks to create a bright, pattern-heavy line. We like these short geo-print numbers.
TOWEL OFF: OTHER CRITERIA

Lounge around on one of these Other Criteria beach towels, designed by the likes of Damien Hirst, Ed Ruscha and Barbara Kruger.
SURF: SWAMI'S

Hit the swells with this Sunset Feather board, made with care by homegrown company Swami’s. Handmade and silk wrapped.
SCUBA: LISA MARIE FERNANDEZ X PETER PILOTTO
Lisa Marie Bikini available from LN-CC

A chic option for surfing. So much better than a rash vest.
INFLATABLE: CHANEL
