I spent ages last year trying to find the perfect black swimsuit and every time I did find one, it was sold out.  So I’m starting early this year.  There are loads of good reasons to own a black swimsuit – I always think they are like the little black dress of your beach wardrobe – not LBD but LBS! They are an investment and when you are having a fat day you will be thankful you forked out.  The LBS is an easy first step back into swimwear after you have had a baby and they are also handy for taking your kids to swimming lessons.  Black isn’t boring – it’s sophisticated and looks hot with a tan.  So here is my pick of little black swimsuits for stylish mamas.
