GLAMOUR UK: THE 20 BEST BIKINIS TO BUY AND WEAR AROUND THE HOUSE DURING THESE INTERMITTENT HEATWAVES

Ah, summer. Remember the days when the sun shone, temperatures soared and we were about to head off on holiday? Nope, us neither.

Fast forward to the present day, with newly-enforced quarantines appearing almost daily, and it feels like that last minute trip you'd banked on booking might not be possible after all. The only thing to remind us of freedom is a daily peruse through Selfridges’ swimwear section and thoughts of tropical climes.

But do you want the good news? The UK is looking at a big - albeit very brief - heatwave this week. Friday is looking like *the* day, with temperatures expected to hit 35°C in the south.

Naturally, the only thing those of us working from home - or those smart enough to have booked time off - will be wearing is a bikini. But having spent months in tracksuit bottoms, you likely need reminding of this season's highlights within the world of swimwear.
