Though we can hardly believe it ourselves, spring formally begins next week. Obviously, we are head over heels for every last new apparel and accessory trend—watch this space for the deets—but today we are going to discuss another staple of the season: swimwear. Specifically, the new standout suit collection by London-based designer, Roksanda Ilincic.

Typically, when you mention the word “swimsuit” or, even worse, “bikini”, amongst a group of gals, it causes an outburst of dreadful cries. However, there is something so totally chic while non-intimidating about Roksanda Ilincic’s fresh designs that it seems to hush our deepest poolside fears. Maybe it’s due to the many one-piece offerings in the collection or the color-blocking, piping and French lace detailing of the suits that give us such a confident outlook. Whatever it is, we’re not complaining! Slip into one of our two favorite styles—the halter Albia and ruffley Rafiya, shown above—before your next beach venture and you definitely won’t feel like a fish out of water!

We needn’t provide a spoiler alert that floral prints are star players of the spring season: pretty petals of all shapes and sizes are in full boom everywhere you look! A less than expected but totally wowing take on the trend, Peter Pilotto’s scuba-inspired Floral Dress has us yearning for a seaside escape!

An oh-so-fresh runway catch, we netted this body-con number right off the catwalk to act as an ultra-modern muse to our seasonal wardrobe. Constructed of fine silk and cotton with an impossible-to-miss graphic design, it is one of many oceanic-themed picks from Peter Pilotto’s spring collection. Want to translate some deep sea-level style into your own look? Rock a like-minded printed dress dress with an oversized tote, strappy sandals and slicked-back ‘do!
