Swimwear for Summer 2025

Ladies, it’s almost time! Summer is just a few weeks away, and we couldn’t be more ready for some good old-fashioned R&R in the sunshine. We can just picture it now: lazy days by the water with an ice-cold drink in one hand and a good book in the other, not a care in the world. 


Whether we’re soaking up rays by a hotel pool abroad, or enjoying a very rare UK heat wave on a rugged English beach, we’re not fussy, as long as the sun is shining! 


But while location doesn’t matter to us, there’s one thing we don’t compromise on - looking and feeling fabulous. That's where the 2025 Bonmarché swimwear collection comes in. From bold and beautiful animal prints to fresh and feminine florals, we’ve got something to suit every style. In this blog post, we’ll be showing off our absolute favourites from this year’s range. So, what are we waiting for? Let’s dive straight in.

A girl’s best friend: tummy control

If the thought of spending all day in a swimsuit fills you with dread, don’t worry - you are definitely not alone! Feeling self-conscious is, unfortunately, a quintessential part of being a woman. But we’re on a mission at Bonmarché to change that - we believe every woman deserves to feel confident and comfortable in her swimwear, no matter her size or body type. That’s why so many pieces in the 2025 swimwear range include discreet tummy control panels that smooth things out but still keep you comfy! 

Tropical Print Ruched Front Swimsuit

If you’re looking for something bright and bold this year, you’ve come to the right place. This gorgeous piece is in a vibrant orange with a summery tropical pattern and, of course, features tummy control, so it's supportive as it is stylish.

Palm Print Ruched Bandeau Swimsuit

Looking for something more understated, this bandeau swimsuit is made from a black and white palm print with a flattering ruched front and adjustable straps for a fit that works with your body.

A tanning essential: detachable straps

There are two types of people at the beach - those diving headfirst into the waves and those with the sole mission of perfecting their tan. If you fall into the second category, swimwear with detachable straps is an absolute essential. 


Straps are a must when you’re on the move, like finding the perfect spot on the beach or treating yourself to the third ice cream of the day. But once you’re settled in, adjustable straps allow you to unclip and get to work on that all-important tan without worrying about awkward lines.

We have a range of beautiful black and white pieces that will leave you looking perfectly put together.
