Seeing as most of you will be reading this at the airport, killing time before you soar off to steamy, sun-soaked lands (sorry office folk, I'm just going by the calendar here), I suggest we play a game of Ten Things You Should Know About Me.
Actually, let's not get ahead of ourselves: I've just popped my gourmet lasagna by globally-loved gastro-chef to the masses, Tesco Finest, in the microwave, giving us approximately four minutes and a half of playtime, so perhaps we can just stick to the one fact.
Better make it good, then.
Here goes.
I am, in fact, a scuba expert. That's right, I be a seasoned neoprene wearer. A lover of the waterproof stuff. A rubber onesie addict. What is more, my credentials in the field are long standing, as I spent my child, teenage and adult(*eek, am I one of those now?*) years summering in Wales.
Only 'summering' is the wrong word to describe those wet weeks spent sailing by gail force winds, swimming in ice-cold rains and pic-nicing on never-quite-dry beaches... Surviving would be a better way of putting it. And one quickly learns that the key to survival is to dress the part, at the expense of, well, summer flings. And Winter flings for that matter, as everyone else is negotiating off their tan months after getting home, while your pasty self remains very much pasty and very much single.
Shame Darwin's no longer around. He would have got me.
So while my french friends employed the better part of Spring in search of the perfect bandeau bikini, spending lunch-breaks in and hard-earned pennies on Eres' latest must-have, I researched functional wear. And got excited by the full-body coverage on offer, too!
Point is, if I say a neoprene one-piece can (and should) be paired with Acne's latest Winter wool blend wonder, then I am not to be questioned. Trust me on this one. A fashionista will say that it's the contrasting textures that render such a suiting interesting. I say, who knows when end-of-world weather will suddenly strike and you will need to swim for your life. And if the pieces come from city chic dealer, NET-A-PORTER, and not your local water sport vendor, you might even get kissed before the summer ends. Maybe.
This certainly is as scuba sleek as it gets.
