Summer holidays await us; the time to start thinking about beach attire is now. And this season, the one-piece has made a comeback. No need to bare all, just enough to get some sun. You’ll want something that will look good while you swim in the ocean, just as much as it will drinking cocktails poolside.

Looking to swimwear brands we trust for design and quality, we pick the top four of the season.

Lisa Maria Fernandez Farrah Maillot Bonded Swimsuit, £303, matchesfashion.com & Prism Forte Dei Marmi in charcoal, £190, prismlondon.com

Ephemera Noir Split One Piece, £149, ephemeralive.com & La Perla Dunes Swimsuit, £238, laperla.com

Nicole Banning designs swimwear with ready-to-wear in mind. Combining the savoir-faire of the French swim and lingerie industry with Australian manufacturing, Ephemera launched in time for the Cruise 2014 collection and was developed to have the most refined and luxurious finish possible. The High Summer collection, now available online at Net-A-Porter, features a mix of bikinis and one-pieces with cut-out and twist back designs, creating something truly elegant and chic in hues of bright citrus and pasteque, as well as noir. The high-waisted bottoms are a Twin favourite, as are the specially developed jacquard designs that lend themselves to the various one-pieces and bikini styles.
