Make a Bigger Splash.Maximum impact is the look this summer, even in the minimum of clothes. If the maxi dress is this season's key fashion look - cool and stylish from garden party to high street, rock festival (hitched up above wellies) to poolside - the maxi effect is also the message from the complementary ranges of summer beachwear.     Accessorise call their range ‘Ibiza Party'. Their mix'n'match bikini sets in graphic 70s hippy and retro prints give you instant poolside glamour. Feminine shapes are customized with glitzy jewels. Choose from triangle, bandeau or structured cup bikini tops to match with flirty tie-side briefs or chic boy shorts. There is a rainbow of colours and heavy patterns to suit your personality. For a more sophisticated style, you can opt for a classic, big-statement black bandeau set, or simplistic stripes. The look does not get quieter with beach cover-ups. Stunning palm and graphic prints adorn sheer smock or tie-waist style kaftans, floaty halter-neck dresses and jewel-encrusted sarongs. When it comes to the accessories, add a chunky raffia or clunky gold plait Big Bangle and choose from straw trilbies, floppy sunhats, bright beach bags and oversized sunglasses to complete a look that will leave your hotter than a heat-wave! Footwear, a line that gets better and better with each new season's collection from Accessorise, is irresistible: jeweled sandals, metallic Grecian gladiator styles, soft twisted leather thongs as well as the key epic range of sequin and craftily embellished rubber flip flops. "Our white cotton kaftan with gold embroidery trim and gold Lurex bikini literally ran out of the shop, they were so popular," says Accessorise manager, Amandah Allen. "Personally, I really love are the silver, bling-jewelled flip flops at £35. They're fantastic." If body bling is your thing, opt for La Senza's Diamonte Trim range - available in classic black and attention-grabbing pink (bikini bra top up to E cup, £16, shorts £10 and briefs £8, both available up to size 18). For extra sparkle, team with a pair of Studded Diamonte sunglasses £12. Get spotted on the beach with La Senza's gorgeous 1950s pin-up - or saucy seaside postcard - chic Polka Dot Halterneck bikini, which you can twin for standoutability with a matching Polka Dot beach bag, £8 and towel, £10. Supermodel Petra Nemcova, the face of La Senza, models a bright and beautiful Hawaiian Floral range. It's blooming lovely - with a pattern that translates into a range of cheerful holiday accessories, such as a bikini (bandeau bra available up to E cup, tankini available up to size 18/E cup, tie-side briefs £8, and shorts £10 (both available up to size 18), kaftan £18, headscarf £5, flip flops £8, beach bag £8, towel £10. Best-kept secret: La Senza holiday accessories! Show-stopping sunglasses - Vintage black and gold, Aviators, Rimless, Slim Frame, Visors, Ivory Frame and Brown and Gold Trim, all at £12. Flip flops in styles that range from Heart print, Animal print, Gingham print, fat wedge Hawaiian print, Sequin and Seagrass, £6 to £8. Cool, cool kaftans in Heart, Animal and Hawaiian print, £15 to £18. H & M, too, offer a range to suit all tastes. We love the Moorish-inspired gold embroidered black bikini with matching burnished gold bangle - and the tangerine sherbet lemon surfer-chic bikini with matching sleeveless wrap. They have a stunning stripy maxi dress and a dozen adorable ways to drape yourself in refreshing white and show off that tan! For a special finishing touch, Dune have glittering foot candy - gorgeous, flat sandals with jewel-encrusted or woven metallic leather radiance. Look out for styles called ‘Dazzle tan', ‘Dreamy black', ‘Fennel', ‘Holly gold', ‘Kasey Red', ‘Kosta gold' and a gorgeous raffia beach bag with lustrous gems and beads adorning the handles. "Foot bling is the way forward this summer and we have statement sandals for everyone and for all occasions," says Dune manager, Gary Bishop.
