Once you find The One... best bikini or swimsuit that is... it is very hard to part with it.
We've all got the one that fits perfectly, a trusty companion from the summer of yester-year. But considering it's probably been festering at the bottom of a long-life bag somewhere, still unwashed after having enjoyed a holiday-filled post-lockdown summer, the chances are that the ailing elastic will have started to sag, and the colour sadly faded.
With summer on the horizon and trip bookings springing up right, left and centre, it's probably time to invest in a really great new swimsuit or bikini for 2023.
With endless colours, styles, cuts and prints to choose from, swimwear has never been this exciting. Why not channel the cool girl in Oceanus or Oséree's sparkly numbers, or try something different with The Attico's bold animal-print bikinis, think bright colours, tropical greens and golden swimsuits to top of that perfect tan.
This gallery will hopefully help you say farewell to your old polyamide friend and find a new heatwave ally.
From the barely there and gingham sexy bikini sets, to the one-shoulder-one-piece swimsuits and tankinis, we've compiled the best bikinis and swimsuits for 2023.
Made from recycled products, channel Bridget Bardot in Guess' gingham swimming costume.
Whether you're a new bride or wanting to show off your tan, this beautiful one-shouldered white swimsuit is a top choice. It features a coconut buckle on the shoulder, providing a beautiful 1950s-inspired vintage silhouette. Better yet, it's super comfortable, made with a double lining, and comes in four colourways. It's a firm favourite among ELLE editors.

Chloé X Eres Cutout embellished swimsuit
Chloé X Eres Cutout embellished swimsuit
Our top pick from the swimwear collab of the summer.
An oversized corsage elevates this halterneck one-piece, making it more far more expensive than it is.
Hunza G's one-size-fits-all ethos is brave, considering the body shapes out there, but the super stretchy fabric makes it really pliable, plus the colour and heart embellishments are super cute.
How cute and sexy is this swimsuit, please? We're loving the soft crinkle fabric and the high Brazilian cut that oozes Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber vibes. Wear as a swimsuit by day and with a pair of shorts for a night sitting with rosé under the summer sun.
We love this slightly shimmery, olive green hue as it will suit just about everyone.
JETS Oia Sunset High Neck Trim One Piece
JETS Oia Sunset High Neck Trim One Piece
Sunset shades are very on-brand for SS23 and this high neckline is ultra flattering too.
Everyone needs a simple black one-piece, and this scoop neckline, low back and high-leg design makes it more flattering than most. Plus, you can simply slip on a sarong or shorts for the easiest beach-to-bar transition ever.
All the scallop-edged fun of a Marysia swimsuit, but without the associated price tag. This would be great for a bride, too.
The perfect one-piece for what will inevitably be a Barbie-filled summer.
This 2023 twist on a tankini oozes 'cool girl' chic.
Chic, tonal and bang on trend.
