We are on a serious savings roll here at chiconomise towers and love to keep our chiconomistas’ designer desires discounted. So if you are going on a holiday soon and want to be both the belle of the beach and a budget babe, read on for our oh-so-lovely designer beachwear at deliciously low prices.

The Swimsuit

Nothing highlights a tan like a Melissa Odabash’s white tankini, £66 (RRP: £165), with gold beads at the straps and figure-friendly hipster briefs.

Can’t-believe-it savings: £99

The Sandals

Because you have to keep your feet off the hot sand but have them look hot too, we picked metallic-trimmed suede sandals by shoe-guru Vanessa Bruno, £82.25 (RRP: £235)

Can’t-believe-it savings: £152.75

The Kaftan

To cover up when it gets a bit chilly on the beach, wear designer Diane Von Furstenburg’s beautiful blue kaftan at a discounted £58 (RRP: £200).

Can’t-believe-it savings: £142

The Accessories

What designer beach look would be complete without the must-wear accessories?

Pair the Chloé sunglasses in the picture at the very top, £107.28 (RRP: £357.61), with this season’s wide-brim hat à la JLo by Eugenia Kim, £98 (RRP: £280).

Can’t-believe-it savings:

Sunglasses: £255.33

Hat: £182

For a little beach bling, we have two bracelets, one for day and one for night. The white D&G buckle-fastening cuff, £63 (RRP: £210), is perfect for the day and for a little Ursula Andress glamour. For the beach barbecue at night, wear jewellery-design wonder Kenneth Jay Lane’s black diamanté studded bracelet, £20.44 (RRP: £51.09).

Can’t-believe-it savings:

White Bracelet: £147

Black Bracelet: £30.65

Total spent: £494.97

What we would have spent: £1498.70

So we saved double what we spent on our designer beachwear look. That’s chiconomics!
