Newsflash: According to the Met Office, summer time is officially here. And whether yours is looking more poolside or, erm, paddling-pool-side, that means it's also time to start thinking about your swimwear.

Need a little help finding your SS16 style? Our edit has got you covered (literally). We've scoured Tu's latest collection to find 5 suits to suit your shape, and brought them to life as gifs, just because we're fun like that. Dive in...

The Bandeau

We're with the band(eau). Specifically, this Instagrammable electric blue one. Perfect for pear shapes, the detailed top/classic bottom mix keeps everything in balance by drawing attention to the upper body. Bonus: the removeable strap lets your change up your style without weighing down your luggage.

Top, £6 / Bottoms, £5

The Triangle

We couldn't talk tops without the triangle. This print-meets-colourblock combo offers an SS16 update on the iconic style, with thicker straps for maximum wearablity. As for the bottom? You can't go wrong with a pair of cheeky suits-all shorts.

Top, £8 / Shorts, £6

The Tankini

It's time to revisit the tankini. Not quite a swimsuit and not quite a bikini, get the style right and it's anything but a compromise. This printed set tricks the trend boxes whilst offering more coverage than the average two piece. Better still, the optional halter strap and moulded cups make it work for most busts too.

Top, £10 / Bottoms, £6

The Classic

Need a little more support, but don't want to lose any style points? This neon number's got your back. Cut in a classic sculpted shape and brought to life in sports luxe brights, we'll be making like Moschino and wearing ours from beach to bar.

Top, £8 / Bottoms, £5

The One Piece

We've found the one. Well, the one piece. 2016's take on the shape is stronger than ever, with bold prints and fashion-forward strap details taking the look centre stage (or beach, at least). Our pick? This paisley halter with figure flattering waist detail.

Swimsuit, £16
