The Three-Piece Bikini Set Soars In Popularity Thanks To Love Island

Now that holiday season is well and truly upon us, you might have already done a 'swimwear try-on session' with everything that's in your wardrobe - the worst part of any beach break. But if, after many mirror selfies, you've realised that you're still missing the wow-factor, look no further for inspiration than the ladies of Love Island, who this year have given the humble bikini a whole new lease of life. Meet the, drumroll please, three-piece bikini set. That's right, the two-piece has been upgraded to now include a matching cover-up, from swim skirts that you can wear into the sea or pool to sarongs and cover-ups.

Tasha Ghouri, the villa's resident style star, packed several sets, one of which is a marble-print bikini with a matching mesh dress. According to the data at New Look, searches for 'three-piece bikini set' have increased by +250% since the show aired earlier this month, while 'beach cover-ups' increased by +200%. And why not? If you're spending all day by the pool, you might as well look like you've put some effort in, right? Plus, a cover-up always comes in handy when the midday sun threatens to be a little too scorching.
