EMBRACE blues, brights and all things swimwear with Lidl’s new summer collection.

As we spring into new-season fashion we banish dark colours to the back of the wardrobe, replacing them instead with bright pops of colour and cool summer accessories.

Lidl Northern Ireland recently unveiled its Esmara spring/summer 2016 fashion collection – hotly anticipated following the sell-out success of its debut collection last year. The new collection is inspired by the Tropical Deco architecture of Miami and the contrasting bohemian blue hues of the Mediterranean.

The ‘See You in Miami’ collection of beachwear is the jewel in the crown of the Lidl SS range – its focus is on bold colours, lush prints and geometric silhouettes.

SYiM boasts a stunning selection of tropical bikinis, including the triangle neoprene bikini. This luxe bikini is the hero of the collection; closely resembling pricey designer versions of this look, this version is available for the bargain price of just £3.99 (top) and £2.99 (bottoms).

Other stand-out pieces include glamorous cut-out swimsuits in a variety of styles and colours, bold-coloured one-piece swimsuits and a nautical striped swimsuit with contrasting neon detailing.

When those enjoyable summer days at the pool or beach draw to a close, cover-up dresses are the perfect solution, available in a variety of bright colours; alternatively select a stylish kaftan which also works well in the evenings over jeans.

The range also features must-have accessories including beach bags, a trendy sun hat with leopard detail and chic slider flat metallic sandals priced at only £7.99.

This sizzling summer collection will land in stores across Northern Ireland between April and July.
