The latest wardrobe trend of combining long-lasting capsule pieces with small seasonal updates has filtered through to swimwear seeing ladies travel light without stifling their style. Women are using their imaginations to create brilliant beach looks without breaking the bank or their luggage handles.According to swimwear manufacturer Kiniki, more women are mixing and matching individual items rather than spending more on several bikini sets. We have always sold our bikinis as individual tops and bottoms instead of sets to give women flexibility in sizes, styles and colours, says John Walker, founder of Kiniki.com, which sells more than a million items a year.Our customers are increasingly combining staples such black bikini bottoms with our on-trend, tan-through bikini tops and sarongs. The patented tan-through pieces are proving a big hit with women who do not want strap marks.It looks like the Gok Wan effect is hitting the beach this summer. Women are varying one simple look rather than buying a different bikini for each day as they might have done a year or two ago.
