We asked Carla Bevan (left), editor of MarieClaire.co.uk, to pick her favourite new season lingerie and swimwear buys from figleaves.com.

Discover the polka dot bra, the low rise knickers and the oh-so-cute bikini that all get the Marie Claire seal of approval after the click.

Huit Cuba Libra Halter Bikini

"How cute is this bikini? I love the unusual colour combination and the flattering knickers. Now I just need to persuade the boyfriend to whisk me off on holiday so I get a chance to wear it."

Mimi Holliday Silk Chiffon Balconette Bra

"Damaris’ Mimi Holliday diffusion line goes from strength-to-strength and this sweet polka dot bra will be a worthy addition to my growing Mimi collection. I adore the shorty knickers that match it, too."

Huit Jolie Poupee Low-Rise Brief

"I’m averse to wearing G-strings, but when you can get your hands on sexy low-rise knickers like these from Huit, who needs thongs?"

No Romeo Lollipop Art T-Shirt Bra

"Everyone needs a good t-shirt bra in their lingerie drawer and this pink version from No Romeo is a world away from the usual dull nude or white designs on offer."

Elle Macpherson Intimates Coranto Bra

"A classic design, styled in sheer white lace, Elle Macpherson’s Coranto bra looks set to be a sure-fire sell-out success this spring."
