Here's a new twist on the underwear-as-outerwear trend (it's not all about Madonna-style conical bras, y'know). Company magazine picked up on shapewear this month, mixing it up in this futuristic fashion shoot.
Will you dare to bare? Above left: Body Wrap slip £50. Right: Miraclesuit brief £25.50.
Want to look ten years younger with Woman's Own? This week's model was delighted with her makeover - which includes this coral figleaves dress, £80.
"This floaty frock is perfect for skimming over all shapes," said Woman's Own. "Chiffon cap sleeves flatter upper arms too."
Lots of lingerie advice in The Mirror today, with solutions to all your summer dressing dilemmas - control underwear, deep plunge bras and strapless styles should get you through the season.
Here's Figleaves' own multiway, as seen in the paper: "Problem: You've gone for a halterneck top to show off your shapely shoulders - not your bra straps," said The Mirror. The fix? "Invest in a multiway bra which can be worn a number of ways including a halter-neck to keep straps out of sight."
Bra, £20.
Looks like Marie Claire online is in a holiday mood this week - not only can you find some vacation snaps of Kate Moss (looking reliably stylish in St Tropez) but it's also featuring swimwear in its '10 Best' slot.
And if you don't fancy exposing yourself to the horrors of swimsuit shopping on the high street, Marie Claire recommends a good old browse on figleaves.com instead. What to buy? "Seafolly's Lava Lounge twister bikini makes an eye-catching addition to the array, with its bright geometric print and flattering sweetheart neckline," enthuses MC.
Top £32, brief £30.
What's your beach style? Best magazine had suggestions for sporty and nautical looks this week. Above, left, our Scarlet Rose shirred top dress, £35, was deemed nautical and nice; while Zoggs' black one-piece with red and pink panels, £34, featured in Best's sporty selection.
The Sunday Times Style magazine's wardrobe mistress had an interesting query this week: "Where can I find a non-wired bra that actually looks like lingerie?" asked a reader who despaired of finding a soft cup bra that was neither a maternity bra or a sports bra.
The magazine recommended Princesse Tam-Tam's Toquade bra, £39 - "no hint of sporty there".
Alternatively, try Made by Niki, Calvin Klein, or Huit for wire-free bras that also look beautiful in the boudoir.
Lots of lovely figleaves.com products in the press this week, so let's get cracking.
Figleaves Swim in Closer
It's the press pick of the season: our one shouldered one-piece, £35, racks up yet another magazine appearance.
Scarlet Rose in Now
Get celeb beach style with this Scarlet Rose kaftan, £35, as seen in Now.
Figleaves Swim and Lepel in Woman's Own
"These bathing beauties will up your body confidence," promised Woman's Own. This red Figleaves Swim bikini (top £20, bottoms £16) and Lepel dotty set (top £20, bottoms £14) were both recommended for flattering a pear shaped figure.
Spanx in Cosmo
Finally, Cosmopolitan was singing the praises of our old friend Spanx. "They really are the best thing to give you the sexiest silhouette ever," raved Cosmo.
We're not the only ones who have been dispensing wise swimwear advice recently - Time Out magazine had a good swimwear guide in last week's issue, with top tips for every kind of body shape. This Vitamin A bikini was recommended for anyone who is "flat-chested (and would like a bit more of a bust)". Sound like you? Here's what Time Out had to say:
The padded cups and foam inserts help shape and enhance your bust, while the twisted centre creates an illusion of fullness. Smaller busts can also pull off strapless styles with ease."
Sold? Vitamin A bikini top £60; brief £56.
Cutaways are hot this season, notes Heat magazine, which has the celeb pics (Paris Hilton, Solange Knowles, Lindsay Lohan) to prove it.
"Let's go shopping!" said Heat, which had a couple of cossies from figleaves.com in its cutaway selection: this O Beach halterneck, reduced by 30 per cent to £14; and Aguaclara's dazzling green cutaway, down a whopping 70 per cent to £21.60 in our Designer Outlet.
Bella magazine looked at star style on the beach this week, with Michelle Heaton getting the mag's seal of approval for her nautical-look bikini. How to work the trend? Bella recommends this Panache bikini with button details - top £30, briefs £14.
New! magazine, meanwhile, was showcasing retro-style swimwear. This Freya polka dot bikini (top £27, briefs £25) got a mention - "great support for bigger busts," raved New!
