Unlike the rest of the country, it has been quite cool here in Melbourne (we have only had a handful of days over 25 degrees this month) and we are looking forward to the weather heating up.
Hot days, balmy nights, beach, pool, bbqs, cocktails, summer fruits is there anything we don’t love about summer?
Along with the warmer weather comes the dreaded swim suit shopping but it doesn’t have to be such a bad experience.
David Jones have a gorgeous range of one pieces, two pieces, mix and match separates, sarongs, kaftans, beach pants and dresses to suit women of any age or body type.
What do we love from David Jones’s swimsuit and accessories range?
There are so many pieces to love in the “Jets” range, which is designed for every woman and to complement curves.
Of the Jets Brand “The entire JETS Collection is created with an understanding of timeless, sophisticated elegance, smooth sleek swimwear cut with absolute precision. This dedication to quality extends across the JETS by Jessika Allen, JETS White Label, JETS Kids as well as JETS Man ranges.

No wonder the Jet range is such a beautiful collection.
We love:
Jets Double Strap One Piece How gorgeous is this one piece? Incredibly flattering to most body shapes, this swimsuit is a sure winner this summer. The colour is on trend this season as well.
Jets Lustre 50’S Gathered Halter and Jets Lustre Gather Side Pant. Hot pink has to be the hottest colour this Summer and this flattering 50’s style halter bikini will definitely turn heads.
After swimming and lying in the sun, we want to get a drink don’t we? The stunning Jets Alchemy Cross Strap Dress will take you from the beach to the bar in a flash. Love the neck ornament detail. Such a versatile dress for wearing with thongs or sandals at the beach or with heels for dinner or drinks out, it is a definite must have!
Tropical print is also a huge trend this season and we love the Sunseeker Sunseeker Pacifica Moulded U/Wire which features moulded, underwired cups for the most flattering fit.
Of course, you aren’t really prepared for summer without a kaftan, are you? Camilla (the queen of kaftans) has an amazing collection of flattering kaftans this season.
Our pick is the Camilla Savanna Round Neck Kaftan, which can be worn up to 12 different ways. Very clever, isn’t it?
Of course, you need some help to kick start your swimsuit and accessory buying, don’t you?

would love some new swim wear that doesnt make me look so fat
Shorts and singlets, first time in 15 years I decided to start wearing shorts again and realised how comfy they were, I am and was a dress and skirts person but I cant get enough of wearing shorts. I can dress them up with some wedges or heels or wear them thongs or sandals.
I live in sarongs. I love the comfort, coolness and different styles you can create with ease!
I have had my black cotton sarong for over a decade – it covers up all the wobbly bits I don’t want everyone to see while in swimwear. Perhpas that’s why I need to check out DJ’s range of swimwear and find a pair suited to my body shape!

It’s my thongs (footwear, not the other kind!). I have so many different colours and designs, sparkly sequins, plain, patterned. Summer is the perfect time to show them off!
Hats i so love them! The summer sun is not kind on my skin so its a good thing i do!

Sarong is the best for summer, wear it casual over swimmers to the beach, or dress it up with some hot jewellery and earrings for a summertime bbq party.
