Curvy Kate Sheer Class

The Curvy Kate Sheer Class swimwear range is at the top of our list of must-have LBBs! It uses simple, clean lines with a modern and timeless design for killer style, mixing opaque fabrics with sheer mesh panels to highlight and contour your beautiful curves. Choose from a classic foam lined balconette bikini top (with convertible straps!), or the stunning bandeau which can be worn completely strapless. Pair it up with one of the three matching briefs - a classic mini bikini brief with sheer mesh sides, the retro-inspired high waist brief for that hourglass silhouette, or the versatile deep fold brief with a mesh waistband that can be worn high or low on the hips. It's a total mix and match dream so you’ll be guaranteed to look fab-u-lous no matter which combo you opt for!

If you’re looking for something a bit more fun, look no further than the Flirtelle Miami Coast range. With cute white spot print it’s a monochrome must-have, with the foam lined balconette bikini top offering fabulous fit and support up to a 40K. A coordinating high waist brief gives you an hourglass silhouette for killer curves, while the classic bikini brief provides a lower rise for maximum tan.

The Panache Anya Riva swimwear range is oh-so elegant in a simple solid black design. The bikini top is non-padded for a natural shape, but lined with supportive powermesh so you'll be lifted and secure all day long. There are three styles of matching swim briefs to choose from - the gathered brief with a classic bikini coverage, a fold bikini brief which can be worn high or low on the hips, and a chic swim skirt for those who prefer a little extra coverage. Whichever option you choose there’s one thing for sure - you’ll be looking like a million dollars by the pool!
