From fun floral bikinis to chic monochromatic styles and designs, these are the best Australian swimwear brands to buy for any season.
Summer has (finally) arrived, and with it, sunnier, longer and warmer days that are perfect for beach hangs and poolside dips.
It's giving us the perfect excuse to buy a new cossie to take for a spin, and a splash. Luckily, 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.
SIR.
SIR.'s latest Resort collection is full of swimsuits we're already frantically adding to our carts. Inspired by 60's Californian nostalgia, the pieces are full of moody tones, earthy hues and unexpected pops of colour.
Sitchu Pick: The Mahogany String Triangle Top and matching briefs make up our new warm-weather uniform.
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: The Cleo Bikini Top is a fun twist on the classic black crop — a perfect fusion of form and function.
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: A classic one-piece featuring subtle velvet texture, the Wylie Textured One Piece is our pick for the LBD version of swimmers this season.
Color Swimwear
Featuring timeless styles in playful colourways, Color Swimwear puts sustainable design at its centre.

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 Memoir Embroidered Strapless One Piece is endlessly 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: Form and Fold's new 90's-inspired pieces make this fun trend accessible for the bigger bust girlies!
