This £40 swimsuit sold out last summer - and it's now been restocked in three new colours

Having a beach vacation on the horizon is exciting, but for many of us the idea of shopping for swimwear fills us with dread. Leaving aside the harsh fitting room lighting (trust us when we say no-one ever looks good under those lights, no matter your age or body shape), the search for the perfect one-piece can be quite challenging. One of the biggest hurdles to overcome is inconsistent sizing. The digit on the tag of your trousers or dress is almost irrelevant when you're trying on a swimsuit. There are a number of reasons you might want to size up or down: maybe you're looking for something with a little more (or a little less) coverage, or you've got a fuller bust or bum. It's important that you feel great in your swimsuit. You want the design to cinch you in at the waist (hello, shaping swimwear) and show off all your best parts, whether that's your curves or legs. But a one-piece should be comfortable, too. There's nothing worse than straps digging into your shoulders or neck (that's why it's generally best to avoid halternecks). It might seem like an impossible task to find a flattering cozzie that ticks all those boxes, doesn't look frumpy and doesn't break the bank, but we promise it's not. Case in point for the belted swimsuit from John Lewis. Released last summer, the orange textured one-piece became a sell-out success thanks to its square neckline, low scoop back, high leg cut and belted waist detail. It's also fully lined, offering medium shaping control.

The khaki version (£40) features the same super-flattering design as the best-selling orange cozzie, with a square neckline, low scoop back, high leg cut and, of course, belted waist detail.

It comes in a navy colourway (£40), as well as a blue-and-white sailor stripe (£36).
