How to wear swimwear for the pool and beyond

Gone are the days of panic-buying swimwear the night before your flight. This summer, we're doing things a differently by maximising holiday wardrobes and tapping into swimwear for more than just the pool. The best way to do this? Invest in swimwear you can pair with your staples and build outfits for poolside chilling, cocktail sipping, city exploring and more. Here’s how to master the art of beach-to-bar dressing with RI's favourite ways to transform swimwear from a holiday staple to wardrobe essential.

Naked dresses: the holiday edition. Because if you can't wear a sheer crochet dress on holiday, then when can you? Lightweight, comfortable and easy, this dress is ideal for throwing over your swimwear during tanning breaks by the lunch buffet.


Bring your holiday home with you by adding a nude or black slip dress underneath for maximum effect: no need to flash flesh on the tube.

Rosettes are everywhere this season. Even on swimwear. Perfect for when you want to take your fashion-icon status international. With its flattering high-rise finish and straps that can be worn tied behind your neck or tucked in (if you're trying to avoid tan lines), this bikini is the ultimate way to keep you on-trend whilst off-duty.


Plus, we're totally envisioning styling this bikini top with high-rise tailored trousers (preferably in black), strappy heels and a red lip for after-dark invites.


Shop Bikinis

A hypothetical holiday nightmare: you've secured a new bikini but can't find the *perfect* cover-up to match. Scary, right? Well, fear not holiday-maker, because RI is here with the ultimate bikini and matching (!!!) cover-up combination.


This one shows off a high-impact tropical print that just screams "I'll have another piña colada, please". Perfect for taking you from the water to wherever you plan on going next, and you can even wear the cover-up shirt with jeans to help keep the post-holiday blues at bay.
