Summer is on the horizon, which means it's time to start thinking about the season’s most difficult-to-buy wardrobe staple: swimwear. Undeniably, the problem child of the summer wardrobe, shopping for swimwear can feel daunting. From fit to fabrication, swimwear needs to work harder than most pieces in your wardrobe, withstanding the elements and (importantly!) staying secure, so finding a few brands you trust and can come back to is an absolute must.
With this in mind, we turned to the team, getting their insights on the swimwear labels they swear by. And of course, they delivered.The list below covers beloved Australian labels—like Triangl, Faithful the Brand and Monday Swimwear—as well as newer kids on the block like LA-LU and sustainable options (hello, Nu Swim!). In the market for a new pair of bathers? These brands have the Style-ish seal of approval.
“No one does swimwear quite like the Aussies, and Bond-Eye passed my Italian Summer 2026 test. Their styles are versatile and keep everything in place. Special mention to their resort wear that takes you straight from the pool to the bar while still looking put together.” - Rhi, Chief Commercial Officer

“I saw a girl wearing this brand on holiday recently and instantly purchased a pair.” – Naima, Head of Social
“Fella is my ultimate go-to for swimwear. The pieces are super sturdy, the fabrics feel amazing, and I love that signature Fella texture and style. Honestly, so many of my bikinis come from here.” – Rhi, Chief Commercial Officer

“This one’s for the big-boobed girls. RAQ is supportive but also sexy and cool, a trio that’s almost impossible to find in swimwear!” – Cait, Newsletter Strategist
“I can never go past Triangl. Their triangle tops and cheeky bottoms are unbeatable, and the colours always hit. Honestly, I’ve yet to find a shape I like more.” – Esther, Assistant Producer

“I recently got a pair from here and they’re so nice – the fit, the fabric, everything. Honestly, I think I need another.” – Mads, Style-ish Host
“Nu Swim is my go-to for swimwear that’s eco-friendly and plastic-free. Their Pistachio one-piece is timeless perfection.” – Cait, Newsletter Strategist

“I swear by Monday Swimwear - hasn't let me down! (And a decent price point for swimwear.) The cuts are flattering, sculpt to your body and wash super well. Truth be told, I didn't feel confident in a bikini until I wore Monday!” – Tahnee, Partnerships Manager
“Second the Monday Swimwear rec! I can't buy anything else now. Their pieces last for years and years. I'll also add that their website's measurement and fit tools are epic. It make shopping for swimwear online so seamless and less stressful, because you just know it's going to work.” – Emma, Senior Partnerships Manager
“I'm in awe of how long my Zimmermann bikinis have lasted! I'd say, honestly, edging on 5-7 years!”- Cindy, Senior Partnerships Manager
