Bauer. Bond. Burton. All masters of the undercover operation.

But they’re not a patch on you when it comes to hitting the beach.

For those who prefer wearing all to baring all, there’s Beach Candy. British designer Sophie Paget’s new online boutique offers a refreshingly original range of clothing and accessories for beach bods of all shapes. Handmade in India in accordance with ethical and fair trade standards, colourful kaftans, playsuits, maxidresses and sarongs are as pretty as they are lightweight (and perfect for packing). Hats and beach bags complete the mix.

If you’re after an affordable new holiday wardrobe, Beach Candy is a great little resource.

And one you’ll most probably want to keep under wraps.

Available online at beach-candy.com, £18-£182.
