From Holly Willoughby to Kendall Jenner, stars are showing the Little Black Swimsuit is the sexiest style statement of the season, overtaking the white bikini.
TV personality Ekin Su Culculoglu, 28, who launched her Love Island career in one, says: “Black is the new black. It’ll never go out of fashion.”
She tells Georgette Culley why the flattering colour is the chicest thing you can wear on the beach. . .
“EVERY woman looks sexy in a little black swimsuit, regardless of their shape or size.
Some might say black is boring but less is definitely more when it comes to swimwear.
It made my figure look ten times better than any other colour or patterned swimwear.
I found pink and green shades washed me out. I wanted to feel my best and black was the safest — and most flattering — for me.
I’m not perfect, but when I slipped into the black cutout number I felt a million dollars.
It hid my flaws and hugged me in all the right places.
Instead of fretting about what I looked like, I could concentrate on the shoot.
What’s more, the little black bathing suit never goes out of fashion. It’s classic and eludes a quiet kind of effortless elegance.
Since leaving Love Island I have gone more natural and believe we don’t need swimwear in 5,000 colours to draw attention.
Simple colours and designs are far more sexy.
I’ve noticed a lot of celebs are embracing the more classic look.
Holly Willoughby is a ten out of ten and looks incredible in her black bathing suit.
It really compliments her pale skin and her trademark blonde hair.
That’s the beauty with black, it suits women of all ethnicities and can make anyone feel desirable.
