With summer sunshine and staycations on the horizon, update your swimwear collection with our pick of the best, most affordable options from John Lewis.

If there’s a universal truth that resonates to this day, it’s that when the British sunshine makes an appearance, we have to celebrate. Whether this entails packing your tote with picnic essentials for the park or lounging about in a pub beer garden, there’s no doubt that one of the most exciting sun-infused getaways is a trip to the beach (or, failing that, your local lido).

When it comes to refreshing your stock of swimwear, there are a few things you want to look out for. First up, comfort is key. There’s no question it’s got to be a stylish piece, too. And, if you veer on the side of wanting variety in your swimsuit collection, you’ll want pieces that are purse-friendly. 

Here’s where John Lewis’s affordable in-house range, Anyday, comes in. Covering everything from cookware, homeware and fashion, there’s literally something for every day in its collection – including a chic new selection of swimwear.

From spring takes on tie-dye to a failsafe gingham one-piece, we’ve hand-picked a few of the best swimwear options to get started with.
