Tropical Glide

Let’s have a moment for the one-piece that’s more A-list Bond Girl than awkward school swimmer - the one that doesn’t make you feel like you’re about to join a relay team, but instead, throws you poolside with a cocktail and a whole lot of confidence. The Tropical Glide is - dare I say it - the love child of nostalgia, resort chic, and Instagrammable style. Not much needs to be said about this piece beyond this: those lush leafy prints are an instant holiday (without the excess baggage fees). That open back detail is a full “hello world” without being shouty about it. And it’s got enough coverage to let you play beach cricket with impunity, but not so much that you feel like your nan might have bought it for you.

It stretches in all the right places and stays put. No one wants to re-jig themselves after every dip. Yes, it has pads if the surf gets nippy. The higher neckline plus short sleeves means less sunburn. And less sunburn means fewer complaints in the car ride home. It’s a cossie that understands what life looks like on either side of 30, even if most swimsuits don’t.
