Ease ‘first bikini day’ terror with some clever styling know-how:

Sheer kaftans are a beach essential. They keep you cool in the heat, help you feel body confident and hide a multitude of sins.

Halter-necks are the most universally flattering swimwear style. They enhance your cleavage and give the illusion of thinner shoulders.

Avoid horizontal stripes, which can pile on the pounds, and steer clear of white and pastel bikinis unless you’re already sporting a tan!

Why it’s cool: Long hair haphazardly pinned into a bob was a huge hit at the Luella summer catwalk show. The beauty of this style is that as well as enjoying the look and feel of a short crop, you can tuck scraggy hair ends out of sight to protect them from sun damage.

How to do it: Start by spritzing a blow dry spray into your damp hair, such as Shu Uemura Art of Hair Liquid Fabric which gives volume as well as healthy shine. Let the spray dry naturally or roughly blow-dry your hair to create some texture. Now gather your hair at the ends and tie with a band. Gently start to roll hair under towards the nape and, when you reach the neck, fix it in place with some ribbed hair grips, like Boots Wavy Hair Pins for Thick Hair. Let a few wispy pieces escape for a soft effect and mist your finished style with an anti-humidity hairspray, like Therapi Frieze Fixx.
