Save Or Splurge: Penneys has a great lookalike for celeb favourite swimwear

Oh to be sitting poolside with a refreshing drink in hand and the sun shining when the weather at home is clinging to low figures and some places even have snow!

While we can’t do much about the chilly climes, we can help you mentally escape to that summer holiday and get a head start on packing your suitcase.

Penneys previewed their summer collection this week and amongst the colourful options that we’re sure will be gracing our Instagram feeds in the coming months was a lookalike for a celeb favourite swimwear brand.

Everyone from Jess Redden to Pippa O’Connor has been snapped in Hunza G’s swimming costumes and bikinis and it’s easy to see why – not only are they stylish and come in a range of colours, but they’re comfortable and flattering.

Swimming costumes and bikini sets from the brand start at €200 but that’s where our high street saviour Penneys comes in. Never one to miss a trend, the shop has dropped its own swimwear collection which looks pretty similar for a fraction of the price.

Their blue swimsuit costs a mere €12 and has a similar crinkle material and neckline to the original suit. At that price, you won’t mind the inevitable suncream marks left from afternoons spent lounging by the pool.

Penneys also has a bikini option in the same blue colour which will set you back €12 for both the bottoms (€5) and top (€6).

If you’re feeling like really embracing a pop of colour, we also spotted a fun orange swimsuit in the same crinkle material which has fun bows on the shoulders. It’s priced at €14.
