Whether you're spending the summer hitting the beach, lounging by the pool, or just hanging out in your own backyard, nothing makes a statement quite like a designer swimsuit. In an arena where style meets functionality, high-quality swimwear can truly elevate your entire summer aesthetic. From sleek silhouettes to bold prints, designer swimsuit brands really seem to reach every end of the earth with a wide variety of options to choose from. While each of these brands is unique, I can find something most of my friends and I would love to wear from all of them.
Each season, you really only need to invest in one or two suits. I wear my favorite styles again and again with no limits to what I won't try. From renowned fashion houses to emerging labels, these 14 designer swimwear brands offer something for every style enthusiast, starting with you.
1. Burberry
Burberry's iconic print made its way to swimwear decades ago, and the iconic triangle bikini is the essence of Y2K. There is so much to love in its collection, but I always find myself lingering on the classic style the brand is known for.
2. Hunza G
A personal favorite of mine, Hunza G is the brand that is one size fits all, and I mean that more than literally. It stretches to fit any body type but also makes sense for any destination I visit.
3. Agua by Agua Bendita
Agua by Agua Bendita encapsulates the essence of vibrant Colombian culture with its exquisite designs and craftsmanship. Each swimsuit cultivates a sense of playful sophistication with prints that will always turn heads.
4. SIR
Another brand that minimalists will quickly grow fond of is SIR. Its swimwear has a way of exemplifying understated elegance at its peak. It's a contemporary label that shows off modern designs and can often be the first to try out a new trend.
5. Oséree
If you're interested in bringing the party to your local pool, you probably already know about Oséree. It feels like nightlife enters the chat when you discover the excitement of sequins and sparkles among its swimwear pieces.
6. Chanel
Lately, spring runway collections from Chanel have made a point of spotlighting swimwear. The brand is absolutely interested in being in your suitcase for your next trip. I wouldn't be afraid to follow suit.
7. Eres
When I think about sophisticated swimsuits, I think of Eres. It's known for its take on the traditional maillot swimsuit, and it offers a lot more pieces that have caught my attention.
8. Cult Gaia
Cult Gaia is the vacation brand that simply every It girl has to get her hands on. It's the type of brand that invents the swimsuit trend of the summer, and you're going to want to be the first person wearing it.
9. Gucci
There's nothing that Gucci can do wrong in my eyes, and its swimwear department is no exception. It's known for triangle bikinis that show off the Gucci logo and capture everyone's attention on the beach chairs surrounding you.
10. Leslie Amon
Often when I'm scrolling and I find a European woman wearing something chic at the beach, I go to look it up and find Leslie Amon's name. While the brand is becoming known for fun party dresses, I'm absolutely obsessed with the swimwear that started it all.
11. Tory Burch
My childhood summers were spent in Tory Burch flip-flops, but now I know to check out its swimwear, too. It has a great collection of exciting prints in timeless silhouettes that are must-sees.
12. Isa Boulder
Isa Boulder introduced swimwear trends that had never been seen before immediately upon launch. Inspiring many others to follow suit, this brand is captivating every fashion person one at a time.
13. Matteau
If you're a fan of minimalism, you won't be able to take your eyes off of the clean lines and neutral colorways that Matteau offers in its swimwear collection. Its true when they say Australians know swimwear best.
