Whatever your summer holiday needs, these on-trend, minimal bikinis have you covered
Holidays are coming and if, like us, you’re forever in search of the perfect classic bikini, yet find yourself drowning in a sea of eighties-inspired swimsuits and embellished or embroidered bikinis, then our edit of minimal two-pieces is for you.
The Stylist fashion team’s failsafe choice of swimwear is the humble and often overlooked triangle bikini. A great base for your holiday wardrobe they look as good under vests and dresses as they fare in the water. Here is our edit of the best designer and high street styles available to buy right now.
Stella McCartney Monogram Bikini, as chosen by Kitty McGee, Executive Fashion Director
“Stella McCartney’s logo swimwear is the chicest way to channel this season’s nineties trend for minimalists. I’ll wear mine under high-waisted denim shorts and a short-sleeved shirt with Teva sandals.”

Hunza G Gigi Seersucker Bikini, as chosen by Polly Knight, Fashion Editor
“Hunza G’s one size fits all swimsuits and bikini’s are delightfully fuss-free. This longline bandeau with straps is more practical than a strapless style but still has that sporty vibe which I love.”

Holyday Jemima Bikini in Olive, as chosen by Arabella Greenhill, Fashion Director
“For me the best swimwear is the simplest and most functional. I like minimal styles in classic colours and Holyday have some brilliant options. A handful of bikini’s with some flat leather sandals and silk midi dresses and that’s my holiday wardrobe sorted.”
John Lewis Rainforest Rib Bikini, as chosen by Helen Atkin, Fashion Assistant
“A simple, well-fitting bikini can be so hard to find on the high street. John Lewis’ new swim collection has some really lovely plain styles like this ribbed triangle style which comes in bright blue, teal and mulberry and will be as useful at the beach as it will on more active holidays too.”
