UK retailer launches swimwear for Muslim women in the UK

In what could be the ultimate sign of UK’s growing diversity and creativity, Marks & Spencer has created Burkinis for Muslim women in two styles of the full-length swimwear, which is designed to protect their modesty.

The company explained that the Burkinis ‘covers the whole body with the exception of the face, hands and feet, without compromising on style’ and boasts: ‘It’s lightweight so you can swim in comfort.’

‘Modest wear’ has become an increasingly lucrative market in Britain, as the Muslim population grows.
