Summer might be creeping to a close, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to hang up your swimwear just yet.There are still plenty of opportunities to don your one piece, with last minute holidays and trips to your local swimming pool giving you plenty of excuses to step into your swimsuit one more time before the summer ends. If you’re not a big fan of swimsuit season you’re not alone, with plenty of people finding the thought of stepping out in swimwear daunting, but Marks and Spencer’s shoppers think they’ve found the perfect swimsuit that instantly creates a flattering hourglass silhouette.
The Padded Scallop Plunge Swimsuit, £35 here, has received wide praise from people who’ve already purchased it, who have been raving about how flattering and supportive it is, particularly on curvier silhouettes. One reviewer wrote: “Wow this is sooo flattering! I’m a curvy hourglass shape and conscious of my bum and thighs but all eyes are up top with this beauty! I’ve knocked a star off because I can’t get much swimming done in it - have to keep peeling hubby off me! Haha!” A second happy shopper wrote: “Fantastic.
As a curvy (bum, mumtum, 36E) 6ft woman this is the first swimsuit I've ever had where I feel sexy as heck, but in a nice understated way. Strong recommend on buying.
I breastfed, so boobs a bit saggy and this supports great!! Go get it!!!” Whilst a third said: “I am so pleased with this - I am normally a size 10 but ordered a 12 as I wasn’t sure about the actual sizing. It fits like a dream and looks much more expensive than it was.

Everyone knows that SPF is an absolute must when it comes to your skincare regime, and is an essential step for protecting your skin and preventing sun damage and signs of ageing. However, applying regular suncream to your face can clog pores and leave your skin feeling oily, whilst even some skincare-specific ones can cause your makeup to pill, leave you with breakouts, or create a residual white sheen on your skin – all of which aren’t ideal when you’re heading out and about.
