TALA has launched a new swimwear collection in collaboration with May Ridts, which is perfectly timed with the UK’s heatwave – and the upcoming summer months.

TALA, which is the brainchild of multi-hyphenate Grace Beverley, launched its latest swimwear drop back in April, and it has already received rave reviews from customers because of how flattering the garments are.

Though I’m not surprised because I am obsessed with several TALA pieces I own, including the leggings.

The swim collection includes two-toned bikinis, multi-way designs, as well as figure-hugging swimsuits, specifically the Contrast Underwired Swimsuit, which has been hailed ‘a free boob job’, as well as beach cover-ups.

Safe to say your holiday wardrobe is covered.

Speaking about the collaboration, May shares: ‘The whole collection just feels like the perfect holiday wardrobe. Everything works so effortlessly together, and you can style it in so many different ways. I played around with a few looks during our campaign shoot, so there’s lots of inspiration there for summer!

‘With TALA, it never feels like I have to squeeze myself into something or be a ‘version’ of me that fits a campaign. I get to just exist as I am, and that’s rare in this industry. As someone who hasn’t always felt represented in this space, working with a brand that doesn’t just say they’re inclusive, but actually makes you feel included… that means everything to me.’

Whether you want to mix and match your swim sets, cover-ups, or opt for complete matching co-ords, there is something to suit everyone’s style and body shape. Here is what we’re packing for our summer vacays…

Contrast Underwired Swimsuit

My favourite from the collection, hands down.

This underwired swimsuit has been designed to sculpt the body, lift the bust, and accentuate the wearer’s body so you feel confident, comfortable, supported and protected when slipping into your swimwear on holiday.

It features a Brazilian style bottom, scoop neck, underwired bust and adjustable straps, as well as a low back with a cross bar fastening for support and security.

Plus, it is supportive for those with bigger busts too.

Beach Knit Maxi Skirt

If you are looking for a lightweight beach cover-up to take you from breakfast to the pool and a pit stop at the beach club, this maxi skirt is a must.

The thigh-high slit is ultra flattering, and the fabric offers a semi-sheer finish.

Beach Knit Asymmetric Top

If you don’t know by now, I’m a fan of co-ords, so of course I need the matching Asymmetric Knit Top to wear with the matching skirt.

Soft Linen Drawstring Trouser

No holiday, or summer wardrobe for that matter, is complete without a pair of trusty linen trousers.

Grace showcased these linen trousers on her Instagram account, and proved how much stretch these trousers have.

They are buttery soft, versatile, and a must have in anyone’s wardrobe.
