SO HERE we are, “flaming June” has finally arrived. Holiday season is just around the corner and with the experts predicting a summer heatwave, home or away the time has come to invest in a new bikini.

Overleaf you will find our beach body diet and workout but to inspire you to complete those crunches here we bring you some of the red hot numbers on offer at internet shopping boutique asos.com

We think you will agree they will have you sizzling in the sunshine whether on a beach or in your back garden.

Colour yourself up in hooped stripes, or go for luxe St Tropez style in a chained halterneck or a wet look number. For wild poolside glamour unleash the animal in you in a snake or leopard print.

And if you really can’t face a two-piece – even after our four-week body overhaul, then there is always the failsafe of a costume – just make sure it is high-hipped and low-fronted.

Which ever style you go for remember to dress it up with cool shades, chunky jewellery and the most important summer accessory of them all... lots and lots of sun tan lotion!
