What’s the Perfect Swimwear for Your Body Shape?
Brace yourself: the swimwear season is on its way. For many of us it’s a dreaded time of year, associated with unflattering lighting in changing rooms, wobbly bits that haven’t seen daylight in months, and bikinis that just won’t stay where they’re put. Well fear no more, because this is My Redoute’s guide to finding the best costume for your body shape – and looking and feeling gorgeous.
Wild Prints
Prints are a major trend for 2012, with Diane von Furstenberg and Mary Katrantzou being two of the designers who turned out collections full of clashing patterns. Above are three different ways you could go with this trend – and here’s the lowdown on how to wear them.
The Spring Sale
La Redoute’s spring sale has landed with up to 50% off selected items, and we’re feeling spoilt for choice. After much deliberation we’ve chosen our top three items.
The Shirt
We love this crisp striped shirt – perfect for the office and equally gorgeous with jeans.
The Bag
This canvas shopper also comes in red, sand and turquoise, and has a zip fastening for extra security. We’re lusting after the striped version – so French and so chic.
The Dress
This classic linen tunic only needs a cocktail and a beach view to complete the look. We can’t wait to wear it on holiday, with flipflops during the day or summer wedges after dark.
Check out the full spring sale and let us know which bargains you’ll be snapping up.

CONNECT FOUR: Summer Wardrobe
Finally! Summer is on its way, and not a moment too soon. If you’re anything like us, you’ll have had a slight panic when the sun came out – what are we supposed to wear, and were our ballet pumps really looking this battered the last time we saw them? It’s definitely time for some forward thinking, which is why we’ve come up with eight gorgeous summer outfits – one in every column and every row of the above ‘Connect Four’.
