Nancy Dell’ Olio proves you’re never too old for a Bikini

We are forever getting told that you are “only as young as you feel” but many of us struggle to find the confidence to take to the beaches dressed in a body-revealing bikini. Not Nancy Dell’ Olio though, who has demonstrated how you can still strut your stuff on the beach at the glorious age of 50!

Dell’ Olio, the former love of Sven Goran Eriksson, celebrated her fiftieth birthday in style by strutting around in a stunning bronze, two-piece bikini. Her trim physique fitted effortlessly into the dazzling item of summer swimwear and proved that you are never too old to wear a bikini.

For those feeling invigorated by Dell’ Olio’s act of self confidence there are a number of ways in which you can recreate that celeb look. A range of great women’s swimwear is on offer meaning that you can find colours and styles which are flattering to your figure.

The Dell’ Olio Look

Dell’ Olio’s look embraced the shimmering summer colours, so why not do the same? Picking swimwear with striking colours such as gold and bronze is a great way to emit your very own summer glow.

The Freya Supernova short and triangle bikini top (pictured) combine these colours with black for a more flattering look. The belt offers a stylish yet modern twist, whilst the shape and design of the bikini provides good coverage and lots of comfort.

Flower Power

If you are not keen on opting for a bright and striking design such as that donned by Dell’ Olio, then why not consider the next favourite design, flowers? Flower power is a timeless classic when it comes to bikinis and there are always a number of great prints and patterns available. These can range from bright colours for those with more bold tastes and paler patterns for those with a more conservative preference.

Plain but Simple

If the idea of wearing a stand-out bikini doesn’t fill you with confidence then keep it simple with a plain design. These can be offered in a variety of styles in order to provide extra coverage and support for those with larger figures.

You can opt for bright colours, such as the bright red Freya Eclipse Triangle Bikini Top (pictured), or go for more classic and conservative colours such as black or brown.
