Monochrome
Your consistency in style means your day-to-day wardrobe is reflected in what you wear to the beach or the pool. Choosing which swimmers to take on a beach vacation is always a no-brainer. You're probably really organised, and we bet you have a great collection of white shirts.Image credit: Ward Whillas

Crocheted details
You love a trend, but you still want to have fun. You love fashion, but you don't want to take it too seriously. Fashion has been doing the 1970s vibe for a while which you're interested in, but you're not going to go for the full retro look.Image credit: Kiini

Cut-outs
Others may fear the cut-out swimsuit because they don't want an uneven, or let's just be honest, an odd tan line, but you're careful and are always fully prepped with SPF whenever you go out in the sun. Your friends go to you for beauty tips and the make-up girls at department stores all know your name.Image credit: Moeva

Florals
You love buying vintage, can't say no to a dramatic frill and you're more of a summer dress girl rather than a denim cut-offs one. Girl crushes include Julia Restoin Roitfeld and Sophia Loren. You're tougher than you look though and should never be underestimated.Image credit: @juliarestoinroitfeld

Metallics
Others may think you're high maintenance, but really, you're not. (Or are you?) If you had your way, you'd be wearing shoulder-sweeping chandelier earrings to the beach. You're not a planner and you live in the moment, and you love updating your swimwear from season to season.Image credit: Ephemera

Neon
You hate winter and you count down the days to summer on your calendar. You don't see swimwear as a trend item; you buy what you like. Active and sporty, you probably like wearing printed leggings to go to the gym and think black is boring.Image credit: Rye

Nautical
You find it hard to say no to stripes or a rope detail. You love going hard on a theme and you're not going to let a casual holiday jaunt stop you from really thinking about your entire look. Not saying that you're extravagant though (sea-themed nautical ropes aren't exactly a stretch when it comes to swimwear), you're practical. Bet you were great in university group projects.Image credit: @bat_gio

Strapless
Let's be honest, you're probably not a hardcore swimmer. Lazing by the pool in big sunglasses is more your speed. You're flexible in your style, too; it might be scalloped-edged pieces from Marysia, or more minimalist bandeau sets from Mikoh.Image credit: Marysia

Classic triangle
You love the 1990s trend happening at the moment, and your Instagram is filled with images of Kate Moss + Johnny Depp and Gwyneth Paltrow + Brad Pitt. You just bought overalls and are trying to work out how to wear them to work appropriately.Image credit: Matteau
