It may be icy outside, but in Hampstead and Hale, Stanmore and Shadwell, women's thoughts are turning to bikinis, espadrilles and assignations with a St Tropezmitt in preparation for a winter sun trip.

Style hunters will be seeking out swimwear that references 1950s poolside glamour, with sweetheart necklines, ruching, gingham and frills, or the geometric cut-outs and plunge necklines of the 70s and bandeau and one-shoulder shapes of the 80s. In cover-ups, kaftans reign supreme; short ones for the long and firm of leg; longer ones are better for cover and unbeatably glamorous for poolside lunch or a sundowner.
