Link halter bikini, £99 by Vitamin A at Figleaves

When designer Amahlia Stevens launched Vitamin A swimwear back in 2000 the collection comprised four perfectly cut little black bikinis. The label has come a long way since then. Her swimwear designs are engineered for an exceptional fit with details that are few but sleek. Jennifer Aniston is a fan, ditto Coleen. Metallica on the beach? Why not indeed.

Six of the Best Bikinis

Think of the big screen's greatest bikini moments (Ursula Andress in Dr No, Jessica Alba in Into The Blue, Diaz/Moore in Charlie's Angels Full Throttle…). Now imagine those leading ladies wearing tankinis… it would be wrong. Wrong we tell you. For max poolside impact it has to be a two-piece. And a two-piece that fits. Wedgies and areola reveals? So not a good look. But the bikini that's supportive, comfortable and has a coordinating kaftan? Now you're talking.
