The allure of a trusted item of clothing is that it never fails to make you feel fabulous. As we refocus our wardrobes from season to season, there is a reminder that it is the pieces that fit perfectly and make us feel stylish that are our wardrobe icons, our forever pieces. This season, Arabella London delivers just that – a collection of the most iconic styles in the most flattering shades that transcend trends and are enduringly elegant.
The colour palette has been designed to include classic and sophisticated hues that will suit every skin tone, wardrobe-essential shades that you will always return to. True Black and Ivory are the perennial favourites, the base colours of the perfect swimwear wardrobe. Arabella London’s bestselling leopard print, Wild Thing, has returned as the new neutral to pair with bold accessories, and the earth-toned Olive Green has also been re-introduced. Completing the offering are three new shades: a bright Chili Red and rich Mocha Brown, both vibrant yet uncomplicated and easily styled with beach-worthy accessories, and an irresistible Rose Gold that glistens beautifully in the sun.
As always, construction is at the heart of the collection. Arabella has included the most-wanted styles, from the glamorous Modern Bustier to the ultra-chic Contour Bra. Adding to the classics are two contemporary new designs: the Sports Couture Swimsuit and the Laced Plunge Crop, combining a sporty scooped neck silhouette with an elegant lace-up detail that frames your back and supports your figure. The minimally padded styles are streamlined and sophisticated and work equally well pool-side as they do paired with a sarong and sandals for night.
Each piece is structured, moulded and precision-cut to contour, support and complement natural curves in dress sizes 4-14, and the fit of each piece is dictated by the cup size, rather than a generic body shape. The resulting effect is that buying a design by Arabella London feels like buying tailor-made swimwear.
The tops and bodysuits, which come in cup sizes A-DD/E, are finished with thoughtful details, such as wide, gently ruched shoulder-skimming straps, or an intricate scallop edge. Briefs come in a high or low waist, to suit your style, and are cut with the brand’s signature ‘convex curve’ on the bottom, ensuring the perfect coverage and most flattering shape. Each piece is fully lined and finished with seamless edges, eliminating any squeezing, pinching or tugging.
