THE recent warmer weather not only provides an instant boost, but reminds us that summer holiday time is almost upon us.

And those of us lucky enough to be jetting off to somewhere warm and sunny will want to take a look at their swimwear – is it up to scratch?

If you’re looking for something new to wear on the beach or by the pool, Swedish brand Cos, which has a flagship Scottish store in Glasgow’s Princes Square, has a bright and breezy new range that may take your fancy.

From lovely one-piece costumes with cross-straps to colourful, tasteful bikinis, the simplicity of the design is bound to appeal to those who like their clothes quirky but grown up.

There are also new collections of swim and beachwear for men and kids.
