People who are packing for a holiday any time soon might want to consider this fashionable one-piece
Next shoppers say that this piece of swimwear will be a ‘holiday essential’ for 2025. Dozens of women have vouched for the swimming costume’s ability to help cover up their insecurities and enjoy their much-needed holiday in the sunshine.
Next bosses claim that this Shaping Tummy Control Swimsuit was ‘made to celebrate curves’ and offers plenty of support. The store adds: “This shape-enhancing swimsuit is crafted with firm support to flatten the tummy and create a beautiful silhouette.” It features a “pretty” wrap detail at the neckline and adjustable straps for a “comfy yet secure fit”. Next says: “You’ll look (and feel) amazing in this.”
The prices vary depending on the design you choose, with 12 different ones to choose from. Plain-coloured options (including black, green, and navy) start from £29, while patterned versions (tropical, dalmatian spots, flowers) start from £32 and go up to £35 for specific designs.

Next offers most versions in sizes six to 26, depending on stock availability. Some swimsuits also come in a petite fit option, so you should not struggle to find the most comfortable fit for poolside lounging.
Plenty of shoppers were more than happy with the product they received and dozens shared glowing reviews on the Next website. One said: “Great fit – it’s comfy to wear and looks sophisticated!”
Another added: “Absolutely love the bold colour print and have also bought the matching cover up. The ruching and pattern disguises my tummy well. I’ve had Next swimsuits before and they have always lasted well, even when used in chlorine swimming pools.”
A third wrote: “The tummy panel and gathered area are flattering, as is the bust shape. I like having a bit of help with shape without removable pads. I alternate the suits, and they seem to be lasting and resisting chlorine.”
Someone else posted: “Lovely costume. I bought the same one in blue a couple of years ago. Very flattering, especially around the tummy area.” A fifth person put in their review: “This costume fitted well and hid all the lumps and bumps!” And, someone else added: “This swimsuit is extremely flattering and hugs in all the right places!”
However, not everyone was pleased. One claimed: “Too baggy in leg area and not enough bust room!” Another posted: “This swimming costume is okay, just but the shape around the top of the legs/bum is a little frumpy – could do with being higher cut. Also, it’s near impossible to pull up when wet (after a trip to the loo), but maybe that’s because of all the ruching?”
There are plenty of alternatives if you’re on the hunt for the perfect holiday swimsuit. Debenhams has a sale on swimsuits with tummy control in mind, such as this bold blue Halterneck Plunge Tummy Control Swimsuit for £35, which also comes in black.
Matalan offers this classic black one-piece Tummy Control Wrap Front Swimsuit. Almost 100 shoppers have shared their thoughts on this “very flattering” and “affordable” option, which costs just £20.
