Breton stripes with a twist

bikini - New Look

So, continuing from my last bikini post where I raved on about my new found love for New Look and their bargain deals on really on trend and cute pieces, here's another New Look beauty. I love the retro feel of this bikini with the super on-trend bardot style neckline, the quirky double off-shoulder strap that modernises the bikini and the classic breton stripes, which - let's face it - will never be out of style. 

I'm a big fan of high waisted bikini bottoms, but had only previously owned black ones. I have only worn my black ones once as they do give monster tan lines which is just a nightmare but I thought these were super cute so I bought them anyway. Although I probably won't wear this bikini as much (for the reason I just mentioned) while sunbathing, you can be sure I'll get my wear out of it while at a beach bar or lounging around a pool. The best thing about this bikini is because of the classic breton stripe, I can pair the top with a different pair of cute bikini bottoms in blue or white or vise versa and the bikini will still look great so by mixing and matching you can get way more wear out of a bikini and have more choices! This is definitely what I'll be doing on my travels! 

Do you like this retro bikini or do you prefer a more classic triangle style?
