From fun floral bikinis to chic monochromatic styles and designs, these are the best Australian swimwear brands to buy for any season.
There may be a distinct chill in the air, but the truth is, it's summer somewhere (hello, Europe!).
And Australian swimwear brands lead the way in making fashionable, ethical, and comfy swimsuits available all year.
From pastel hues and floral bikinis to chic monochromatic numbers (not to mention plus-size swimwear made for all shapes and sizes) these are the best Australian swimwear brands that’ll have you swimming in style at any time of the year.
Bondi Born
This Sydney-based label wrote the book on sustainable swimwear. Majority female-owned and run, Bondi Born's collection features silhouettes that use three technically advanced swim base cloths that will hold their shape summer after summer.
Sitchu Pick: In a chic and cheerful Lemonade hue, the Loures One Piece is both flattering and supportive, and perfect for a sun-seeking sojourn.
Bydee
Formed in 2013, Bydee has fast become one of the most recognisable Australian swimwear brands. Born out of a love for swimwear, intimates, and the Mediterranean, the bikini and one-piece styles are inspired by the feminine form and designed with comfort in mind.
Sitchu Pick: The Prague Top and Bottom in Hermosa (a print inspired by the enchanting summers of Europe) is our go-to pick for summers spent abroad.
Zimmermann
Synonymous with stunning swimwear and a firm favourite of celebrity holiday wardrobes, the iconic Australian label Zimmermann is the first point of call for boho babes looking to make a splash.
Sitchu Pick: Made from Italian lycra and featuring a plunging V-neck, the Lightburst Pintuck One Piece is simple and sophisticated.
Peony Swimwear
Retro-cool swimmers for the modern lady, Peony Swimwear's beautifully designed collection of swimmers are equal parts stylish, comfortable and flattering. Peony is known for its romantic, floral bikini prints in subtle, muted tones.
Sitchu Pick: The Everlasting Balconette and matching Mid High Cut Pant come in a gorgeous Seychelles print made for the modern romantic.
Form and Fold
Melbourne-based Form and Fold was born out of the founders' own experiences of being self-conscious at the beach and frustrations with the limited selection of D+ swimwear. This plus-size and big-bust-friendly range is not only supportive and comfortable for larger cup sizes but is flattering and functional too.
Sitchu Pick: This 90s-inspired one-piece features a flattering square neckline that cleverly conceals a built-in underwire bra for extra support.
Zulu & Zephyr
"Made for the sun, the salt and the sea", Zulu & Zephyr are a much-loved local swimwear label that consistently delivers stylish, high-quality cozzies.
Sitchu Pick: The Iris Palm One Piece showcases a flattering feminine silhouette, with an elegant twist-back cut-out detail. Chic!
Ark Swimwear
Living by the phrase "because simple done well is hard to find", ARK is Australian-made, minimalist swimwear that utilises luxe fabrics and on-trend colours and accentuates (and celebrates!) the female form.
Sitchu Pick: Brilliant in burgundy, this Minimal Crop is a fan-favourite thanks to its super-soft fabric and sleek spaghetti strap. Pair with Brazilian-cut bottoms for a super cheeky look.
Triangl
For fun swimmers with big personality, head online to Triangl. This Australian swimwear brand is known for its lively colours, sparkly fabrics and cheeky silhouettes.
Sitchu Pick: The new Vinca set in Sahara screams "endless summer" with a scroop crop bikini top and matching high waist bottoms.
