Q. I’m off to France with my family in the summer holidays and need to buy swimwear for the beach. I don’t feel comfortable wearing a bikini and a swimsuit is a bit boring. Have you an idea of what else I can wear? I like tankini’s but I haven’t found a trendy one that I like.
Jenny, Portsmouth

A. I love tankini’s and they’re great to wear on the beach, or even with shorts or a skirt. I’ve found this blue polka-dot two-piece from Freemans. It’s fab ‘cause it’s got the added extras, like the belt and pink halter-neck strap. Pop this on with some cool shades and you’ll look awesome.

Tankini, £14, Freemans
Bottoms, £10, Freemans
 

Q. The only thing I tend to wear when it’s hot is denim shorts. I’m getting a tad bored of them, can you suggest anything else that I can wear that will go with most things?

Faye, Newcastle

A. There are tons of other clothes that you could buy that would go with most things, you just need to choose the right colour and style. It sounds like you’re a fan of shorts though, so stick with feeling comfy. But instead of denim, why not try linen? Check out these shorts from Internacionale for just £10.
