Size Guide

Terry Fabric: This soft and reversible fabric has slightly more stretch so if you are between sizes or prefer a tighter fit we recommend sizing down.

Silk & Shimmer Fabric: Fits true to size

Matte & Contouring Fabric: Due to the extra contouring fabric we recommend going up one size in all styles for this fabric.

Childrenswear: Fits true to size - If your child is between sizes or you are in doubt we recommend opting for the smaller size, unless your child is taller than average for her/his age. For example : If your child is 3 we recommend 2y / If your child is 7 we recommend going for 6y. 10y can also fit a 10/12y girl.

The PEAR

Name: The Classic Brief
Brand: Talia Collins
SKU: TALIA_02_BLK_I
Price: 68.0 GBP
Availability: InStock

BODY SHAPE

You have wider hips or thighs. Your shoulders are narrower than your hips You have a defined waistline.

WHICH STYLES WOULD SUIT ME BEST ?

Draw attention to your top half to balance out with the bottom half. You can be experimental with colour, mix and matching brighter, bolder colours on your top with muted colours on your bottom. Try not to cover up your bottom half too much, because this will draw more attention to the area.

Don’t be afraid of tie-side bottoms which enable you to wear them higher on your hip at the smaller part of your waist. You can also choose how tight to tie your brief and exactly where they sit on your hips avoiding any discomfort at the sides.

SHOP The PEAR STYLES

The BANANA

BODY SHAPE

You have more of an athletic build with a long and lean body. Your shoulder and hip measurements are similar.

WHICH STYLES WOULD SUIT ME BEST ?

Your athletic body shape means it's best to try enhance your waistline as much as possible. The best necklines for you are strapless, rounded and halter necks. Two pieces work well for you because it enables you to focus on different parts of the body. Horizontal emphasis on your bust and hips will naturally make your waist look more defined.

THE CARROT

BODY SHAPE

Your bottom half is smaller than your top half. You have a square shoulder line and narrow hips.

WHICH STYLES WOULD SUIT ME BEST ?

As the opposite to the pear, you want to try draw more attention to your bottom half and minimise the horizontal emphasis at the shoulders. Avoid anything with a square neckline, as this will accentuate broad shoulders. Instead, try rounded necklines for a subtle feminine look.

When choosing your bikini, be bolder with the colours on your bottom half, to balance out with your top half to create a more balanced frame.

THE APPLE

BODY SHAPE

You have fairly rounded shoulders and a fuller bust. Your waist isn't extremely defined.

WHICH STYLES WOULD SUIT ME BEST ?

You want to draw attention to your upper body, whilst also feeling comfortable and sucked in. Swimsuits with dramatic necklines will draw the eye upwards, so anything with a V neckline will be great on you.

When it comes to bikinis either aim for higher waisted styles to create a waistline or very low cut styles. When it comes to colours, try and keep to the darker tones which are more slimming.

SHOP THE APPLE STYLES

THE HOURGLASS

BODY SHAPE

You have a fuller bust and a defined waistline and your hips are full and rounded.

WHICH STYLES WOULD SUIT ME BEST ?

You want to accentuate your waist and highlight your neckline to enhance your curvaceous feminine shape. Most swimwear styles will flatter your figure. You can easily match back bikini tops with a variety of brief shapes, but the higher the leg the better which will elongate your legs and define your waist.

Cute but minimal support

This suit has a really nice thick material and the colors are great. Unfortunately, the cups only offer coverage and no support, which doesn’t work for me. Reluctantly sending back.

Very happy

I'm delighted with my new swimsuit. I love the colour and the material which makes it very flattering. Great customer service too!

Stunning!

This swimsuit is honestly one of the most flattering one-pieces I’ve ever owned. The deep plunge and gold ring detail give it such a chic, elevated feel without being too much. I love that the halter ties are adjustable and the ruching around the waist is super flattering (especially if you’re conscious of that area like I am!).

The fabric feels silky and luxurious and you can tell it’s been designed with quality in mind. The removable bra pads are a thoughtful touch too, adding just the right amount of support and shape.

A five-star swimsuit in both quality and design - I’ll definitely be packing this for every holiday!

Gorgeous swimsuit and great fit!

Absolutely love this brand! The quality really stands out - the fabric is beautifully silky but still offers great support, and the top fits like a dream. It arrived in a matching dust bag made from the same stunning material, along with a thoughtful note from Talia, which was such a nice touch. Five stars for craftsmanship and care!

Great

Fits well , wonderful packaging and fabric all in all a good purchase
