With Jéan
With Jéan is one Aussie label that continues to make serious waves, both in the fashion and swimwear scene. Known for their effortlessly cool, vintage-inspired pieces, the Sydney-born brand has become a go-to for fashion insiders who like their beachwear with a side of It-girl energy.
Need proof? None other than Dua Lipa was spotted in With Jéan’s ultra-cute Juni bikini while on vaycay with her fiancé Callum Turner. Posting a carousel of holiday snaps to her Instagram, Dua proved that the trend of the summer (polka dots) isn’t going anywhere. From Bondi to the Balearics in style.
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.
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 pieces.
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.
Fella
Australian-owned swimwear label Fella is all about celebrating the female form, with silhouettes designed to last, focusing on quality fabrications, and flattering fits.
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.
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.
Alémais
If you consider yourself more of a maximalist, then you’re in for a treat with these Alémais pieces because each features a wonderfully unique print, with bold colours and detailed motifs.
SIR.
SIR.’s latest collection is full of swimwear we’re already frantically adding to our carts. With versatile shapes and a blend of neutral tones and unique prints, you can mix and match pieces to your heart’s content.
Matteau
Timeless, minimalist design and meticulous fit make Matteau one of the best Australian swim labels to shop, swim and swan about in this summer. Expect a range of flattering styles offering different levels of coverage, all in easy-to-wear hues that’ll still look good years from now.
Ochre Lane
Founder Bree’s own struggle to find minimalist swimwear as a size 16 inspired Ochre Lane, and that attention to fit is the label’s biggest drawcard. Think textured rib fabrics, sculpted necklines and gold hardware, with dedicated DD+ options. Its Original Underwire One Piece was developed with customer feedback, adding extra torso length and bust coverage alongside adjustable wide straps and supportive cups.
Soleil Soleil
For streamlined shapes and earthy colourways, head over to Soleil Soleil. While you’re there, be sure to browse their stylish collection of sarongs too.
