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_MTA_I
Price: 85.0 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.

SHOP The BANANA STYLES

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.

SHOP THE CARROT STYLES

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.

Perfect fit

I love these ! They feel good and fit perfectly.

Classic brief

Fits great and dries quickly!

So comfy! Just bought the same bikini in a different colour

I bought a bikini 2 summer's ago with this Classic Brief style and it's still by far my favourite, just the perfect amount of coverage. Low but not too low! I just bought it in the new Metallic colour, looking forward to seeing more colours! So comfy and doesn't dig in like so many out there.

Perfect bottoms!

Visited Talia Collins store this summer and had the most personal experience ever. 🥰 I needed a pair of bottoms that I could match with different bikini tops and was advised to try the classic brief. They're such a great investment piece as they go with so many different styles (bandeau, halterneck, triangle etc.), and they'll last for years! I tend to pull mine up though for a 90s fit which looks great!

Great

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

Coco Terry Elle colour block swimsuit

This swimsuit has just the right balance of cover and reveal. The fabric is quality and the colours fabulous. I can’t wait to wear it.

Brilliantly fitting material

Love this bikini, fits brilliantly, feels very elegant on and beautiful colour.

Lovely swimsuit

I bought the Navy asymmetrical high cut swimsuit. I am a size 8-10 so went for size 111M which fit perfectly. It is a good fit and seems to hold you in well.

Be prepared for lots of compliments 🤩

Absolutely love this set! I got the matching bikini top and the print is even better in person. I’ve worn it twice already and had compliments both times. Ordered my usual size and the fit is spot on, although a little skimpy which is my preference - couldn’t be happier with this purchase!
