Update your swimwear wardrobe for lazy pool days or weekends by the beach.
Now that we have a bit more freedom when it comes to visiting beaches and lounging by the pool, it only means that it’s time to have an up-to-date swimwear wardrobe. Today, we’re highlighting brands that offer a bit of everything – from luxury pieces and stylish cuts to funky designs and sustainable essentials. Whether you’re looking for a new bikini set, a minimalistic maillot, or a vintage one-piece, there’s a selection for every woman and body type.
Gucci
Be a part of the Gucci gang even when you’re lounging by the pool. You can find designs ranging from loud and proud logos, to archival reprisals from the 70s. If you’re looking for something that’s simple yet subtly OTT, definitely check out the bikini with crystal Square G detailing. W gucci.com
Dior
With the swimwear offerings from Dior, you’ll find simple designs adorned with iconic motifs of the fashion Maison such as the Toile de Jouy. Not only can you sport these elegant pieces while you’re sunbathing or wading, you can even wear them as a sleek bodysuit or paired with a silk shirt as a cover-up. W dior.com
Louis Vuitton
If you love the iconic Louis Vuitton Monogram print scattered everywhere in your wardrobe, then you’ll definitely appreciate their swimwear collection. They offer a range of styles to suit your taste, such as a sporty racerback, or form-flattering asymmetric one-shoulder one-piece. W louisvuitton.com
Salvatore Ferragamo
Relive summers in Positano or Cinque Terre with the bold offerings from Italian fashion marque Salvatore Ferragamo. The brand’s iconic foulard prints are adorned on the swimsuits, brought to life in vibrant colours and heritage patterns. W ferragamo.com
Missoni
The Spring Summer 2020 swimwear collection from MissoniMare is anything but boring. Centred around the theme of “light and fresh”, most of the styles sport fun and funky designs, and vibrant colour combinations to get you into the spirit of playing in water. W missoni.com
Emma Pake
If you’re looking for something creative and fun, Emma Pake’s designs are mostly inspired by her love of the decadent and architectural lines of the Roaring ‘20s and tropical Art Deco styles that can be found in the sunny city of Miami. The swimsuits and bikinis in her collection reflect her eye for balance and symmetry, resulting in strong, structural shapes and geometry as the running theme. W emmapake.com
Reformation
Whether you’re looking for form-flattering high-waisted bottoms or illustrative designs, Reformation’s swimwear offerings will allow you to feel just that one step closer to nature thanks to its sustainability commitment. They’re fashioned out of a lightweight and flexible blend of 78% ECONYL Regenerated Nylon and 22% elastene. The former is a material that’s made out of 100% nylon waste that’s salvaged from oceans and landfills, such as fishing nets, carpet fluff, and fabric scraps. W thereformation.com
Rouje
If you’re missing memories of soaking up the sun and scents of the Mediterranean, Rouje easily makes up for it with their typical French Girl-style swimwear collection. You can find timeless vintage styles in gingham and floral prints. Even the look of them evokes images of sun-kissed skin and Aperol Spritz – the only thing you’ll need to complete the look is a wide, floppy straw hat. W rouje.com
Anemone

Inspired by their shared home state, the Anemone collections combine the laid-back mood of West Coast style with the iconic irreverence of New York City.
