Come summer, Brits up and down the country will turn to their wardrobes for the annual rifle - searching for their long-forgotten swimwear which has been tucked away since last year’s sun-drenched escape.
More often than not, our collections are in desperate need of a refresh. Enter Lily James, who has just sparked ample bikini inspiration - prompting us to hit the shops pronto.
The actress recently enjoyed some time away from set, jetting off to an undisclosed location in search of some serotonin-boosting sunshine.

In one of the images, Lily can be seen lounging beachside, sporting a gingham bandeau bikini complete with black bikini bottoms. A checked headscarf held her blonde tresses in place, while a pair of sunglasses shielded her face from the glistening rays.
Beside her perched Prada’s raffia tote - a design coveted by cool-girls across Europe, in addition to a pair of pale suede Birkenstock Bostons and a book.

Other images in the photographic carousel included Lily posing for a sunset selfie, sporting a chartreuse crop top with an asymmetrical one-shoulder silhouette and a softly ribbed effect.
The top was complemented by a pair of classic linen trousers featuring a traditional white hue and low-rise silhouette.
A multicoloured beaded necklace with her initials in gold made for a playful bohemian accent, while a cluster of diamond-encrusted gold jewels adorned her ears.
Lily wore her sandy blonde locks swept back in a slick bun, revealing a natural yet glowing makeup blend.
Safe to say when it comes to out-of-office style, Lily is our first port of call for effortless outfit inspiration.
