Lunchtime buy: Missoni Mare sequin swimsuit

Ok, we’ll admit that at the sight of the slightest bit of sunshine we get a little carried away, but we can’t help but want to wear this luxe one-piece right now.

After spying various stars strutting their stuff on the sand, we’ve been feeling a bit envious of their ability to have fun in the sun – but we think this sequined Missoni swimsuit might just be the perfect antidote.

If feeling like a mermaid from the shimmering embellishment isn’t enough to make you want to slither about in it, take a closer look at the devilish detailing. The multi-coloured abstract print is worked across a crochet-knitted fabric that’s fully lined with underwired support.

It’s far too pretty to play in the pool – Missoni says that to get the best from your beachwear, you must keep it dry – but we’ll happily throw on a sheer chiffon kimono to look glamorous on the sun lounger instead…
