1. Think Color, Think Coral
Before you even get into the fun bit of choosing your pieces, you need to think about colour. If you’re about to go away on holiday, but haven’t yet had time to perfect your tan – this flattering colour is your new best friend. The pinky-peach tone brings out a splash of colour against even the palest of skin tones. Maybe pick up a coral shade tote bag; this will complement most bikini colours, but especially pastel colours, which are very much on trend this season.
2. Shimmery Blusher
The best coral accessory to have in your matching coral tote bag, would have to be a shimmery coral-shaded blusher – perfect for giving you a sun kissed glow and letting the light hit your face in all the right places, making you look effortlessly svelte and sophisticated.

3. Strut around Ala Victoria Angels with a Pair of Wedges
Scared about getting your legs out on parade at the poolside? A pair of wedges will eradicate any thigh related troubles, and give you the confidence to strut around like a Victoria’s Secret model. What’s more, when you wear heels, your posture gets altered so that your bum gets lifted and your thigh muscles tighten: perfect for pairing with your new bikini and making the boys drool. While these are a staple piece for parading about the poolside, it isn’t recommended to wear these on the sandy beach: the heels won’t let you go very far without sinking in!
4. Ahoy Sailor!
Popular styles for the pool or beach include monochrome black and whites, or nautical styles, think: ‘Ahoy Sailor!’ with lot of anchors and stripes. These are complimentary for the bright coral-colour accessories.
5. Carry a Kaftan
Fringed, embroidered, satin – any style of kaftan is sure to set you apart from the average beach dweller, and put you up there with the fashionistas in the sun. This is a great piece to pick up to throw over your bikini when you fancy giving your skin a little shade, or on those cool summer evenings, sipping cocktails whilst watching the tide roll in. If that wasn’t enough to sway you, kaftans are set to remain a big deal as we move into autumn wear, so you can even think of it as an investment for your upcoming wardrobe. If you’re planning on wearing a kaftano with a normal outfit, think slouchy t-shirt, skinny jeans, heels and throw a kimono on top. Effortlessly sophisticated and chic.
6. Try a Tropicana Towel
Want a multi-purpose alternative to kaftan? Try a Tropicana towel. The design will surely blend in with the sun and sand while giving you a good cover and a good place for sitting on or sun bathing. Just make sure you know how to wrap it well for the best beach appeal.
7. Bust Enhancer
Okay. So maybe you don’t have much of a cleavage and want to try being a real hottie with big boobies. A waterproof bust enhancer will give you a full cup size and it sits inside your swimwear top comfortably.
These are just a few ideas to get your cogs turning about the best accessories to take away with you on holiday to pair with your bikini. The best accessory, which you don’t even need to buy, is confidence. If you rock it like you feel on top of the world, people will find it attractive – no doubt.
