While we don't imagine you'll be wanting to wear a bikini right this second (well, unless you're actually on a beach in a hot country), there are important things to consider when selecting your holiday swimwear.

Do you go for high-waisted or high leg? A bandeau top? Or just a simple string halter neck? As it stands, there are plenty of two pieces to choose from on the high street but luckily for you we've carefully handpicked the very best on the high street and from luxury brands in this gallery round-up.

All you need to decide now is where you're going to go on holiday to show it off.
