While the Love Islanders swimwear won't be sourced from eBay this season, I wanted to see exactly what swimwear options were on offer on the site and was pleasantly surprised. There's a huge range of options across a wide range of sizes, including preworn, unworn, and brand-new pieces from both individual sellers and retailers – yes, you can also shop new clothing direct from retailers on eBay, too.
Inspired by Liberty Poole's final date outfit from season seven – a white swimsuit and white lace trousers totalling £80 from I Saw It First – I set out to recreate it, saving £58 in the process. And now I have a great poolside look.
Opting for a preworn one-shouldered swimsuit from Shein costing £8 and unworn white lace trousers from Missguided costing £5, I was again stung with a high postage bill. But this is where the beauty of the eBay community came in. The trousers seller actually posted the item out with next-day delivery, at a much higher cost, and didn't charge me any extra at all.
