The unexpected high street swimwear brand celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Heidi Klum can't stop wearing - with bikinis under £50
If you find shopping for swimwear a hassle, and can never seem to find a bikini that's fun, flattering and doesn't have a £200 price tag attached, let me introduce you to Calzedonia.
Already worn by the likes of Kendall Jenner, Irina Shayk and Heidi Klum, the Italian brand is widely known for its collection of socks, tights and stockings, but each summer it also delivers a designer-passing swimwear and beachwear collection.
From crochet bikinis to plunging swimsuits, and all the cover-ups you could ever want, including matching linen shirts and shorts, wraparound dresses, ruffled maxi skirts and sarongs – there's an endless selection of holiday looks to wade through.
The reason why so many fashion insiders – myself included – turn to Calzedonia for bikinis isn't just because they're reasonably priced; or because the tops and bottoms are sold as separates, allowing you to mix and match different sizes. It's because most (if not all) of its tops and bottoms come in different styles, offering various levels of support and coverage.
Let's say you're looking for a new black bikini, for example. You could either go for minimal tanlines with a triangle top and tie Brazilian bottoms, or opt for something with a little more coverage, like the lightly-padded balconette top and briefs. Not much of a two-piece wearer these days? There's always the option of a swimsuit.
With a sea of swimwear staples to choose from, I've done the work for you and listed my standout pieces from Calzedonia's summer collection below.

Kris Jenner's beau Corey Gamble makes surprise solo arrival to Venice for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding
Kris Jenner 's longtime boyfriend Corey Gamble shocked many as he arrived in Venice, Italy to attend Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's wedding. The 44-year-old talent manager was in good spirits as he hopped into a water taxi ahead of the most-anticipated nuptials of the year. The business executive was one of the many celebrities who shrugged off raging protests by the Italian locals. Though it may seem a bit random for Corey to be there, his 69-year-old girlfriend is a good friend of 55-year-old Lauren as she attended her bachelorette party. Kris and Corey have also enjoyed double dates with Jeff and Lauren throughout the years and she is expected to attend the lavish event. The couple have been dating since August 2014, after the two met through a mutual friend at a birthday party in Ibiza. Kris Jenner 's longtime boyfriend Corey Gamble shocked many as he arrived in Venice, Italy to attend Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's wedding Corey represented his good friend Beyonce as he wore a yellow long-sleeved sweater from her Cowboy Carter World Tour. He completed the look with a brown suede cowboy hat, baggy green cargo trousers, and black Off-White x Nike Air Prestos sneakers. The star lugged along his black luggage and a matching Louis Vuitton duffle bag as he hopped into a water taxi. Corey seemed in great spirits as he joyfully raised his arm while riding in the watercraft. The Amazon billionaire and his bride-to-be are said to have invited 200 people to their three-day Italian wedding, which is due to kick off on Thursday and end on Saturday. On Tuesday, a copy of the couple's invite was leaked with one very specific request made on behalf of the couple. They've asked guests not to buy them any presents and told them they'll be making donations to multiple charities working to stop Venice from sinking on attendees' behalf instead. The star-studded guest list includes Kris' daughter Kim Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mick Jagger, Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, and Tom Brady. Kris and Corey have also enjoyed double dates with Jeff and Lauren throughout the years and she is expected to attend the lavish event Other high-profile guests have already landed in the City of Canals, including US First Daughter Ivanka Trump and her family, as well as fashion designer Diane Von Furstenberg. Bezos is worth around $224.6 billion and is thought to be spending tens of millions on his wedding. 'If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax,' one gigantic banner read in St. Mark's Square. Greenpeace and the UK-based collective Everyone Hates Elon have joined protests in Venice attempting to disrupt, or even prevent, the planned wedding celebrations of Amazon founder Bezos this week. 'Jeff Bezos is the second-richest man in the world yet is reported to pay a 1.1 percent true tax rate,' the two groups said in a joint statement. 'The multi-million-dollar wedding is reportedly happening over three days, with the wedding ring alone worth as much as $5million.' A spokesperson from Everyone Hates Elon said: 'As governments talk about hard choices and struggle to fund public services, Jeff Bezos can afford to shut down half a city for days on end just to get married.' The business executive was one of the many celebrities who shrugged off raging protests by the Italian locals; a 'No Space For Bezos' sign is seen on the Rialto Bridge Venice mayor Luigi Brugnaro and regional governor Luca Zaia have spoken out in favor of the nuptials, which have been dubbed, 'the wedding of the century,' pointing out that the celebrations are expected to bring $23-34million to local businesses. 'This is a city that handles 150,000 people a day,' Zaia told Italian daily Corriere della Sera. 'George Clooney, François-Henri Pinault and Salma Hayek, Alexandre Arnault, Elton John and many others got married here.' Bezos has also pledged to make sizable charity donations, including $1.16million to Corila - an academic consortium dedicated to studying Venice's lagoon ecosystem - according to Corriere della Sera and Italy's ANSA news agency. Earlier this month, anti-Bezos banners were hung in Venice from St. Mark's Tower with 'Bezos' in blue capital letters and a red X over it as part of a 'No Space for Bezos' campaign, a play on Bezos' Blue Origin spaceflight venture.

Shoppers run to Primark for new summer tracksuit – it comes in three colours and hailed the ‘perfect airport outfit'
SHOPPERS are racing to Primark this week after spotting a "cute" new tracksuit in store - and it's only £22. The two-piece set has already been hailed as the perfect airport outfit by delighted fashion fans. 5 5 5 So if you're jetting off on holiday soon and need a comfy outfit for travelling, you've come to the right place. And it's stylish as well as slouchy, coming in three gorgeous colours that will match a tan perfectly - dark brown, sage green and cream. The oversized T-shirt is priced at £10, while the tracksuit bottoms will set you back £12. If you hate cuffed trousers, they're the ideal pick for you too. Modelling the new sets in the changing room, a member of staff at Primark's Lincoln store said: "These T-shirt tracksuits are back and in the nicest colours yet! Who else wants all of them?" The clip quickly racked up 19,000 views, with fashionistas loving the new arrivals. "Need immediately", one gushed. A second cried: "Omg the brown!" "Already bought it", chimed in a third. A fourth insisted: "Omg I need one!" Fashion fans are 'loving' Primark's new £6 Zara dupe - it's a summer essential, half the price and 'so cute' Meanwhile, a fifth added: "Oh very cute." But a sixth did advise: "Defo size down twice I would recommend. Mine is massive, I already went down one size." Elsewhere in store, shoppers have found a winning summer dress that's floaty and great quality - and there's a mini-me version too. Amanda, the self-proclaimed "confidence queen' and size 14 fashionista, who regularly shares high-street fashion content online, has praised the Primark frock that's super floaty and cool. 5 5 She modelled the sleeveless V-neck Trapeze Mini Dress, that's ideal for holidays. Thrilled with the white trapeze frock, which features an elegant tiered shape, the content creator beamed: 'This one might just win me over girls, because there's a mini-me. 'The quality of this feels absolutely fantastic. It's lovely and floaty and oversized.' The mini dress is available not only in white, but green too and is priced at £20. Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget By Clemmie Fieldsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too. For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect. And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time. But no matter what, Primark always delivers. Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores. While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less. Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards. With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.
