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.

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.

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.

Formed in 2013, Bydee has fast become one of the most recognisable Australian swimwear brands. Born out of a love for swimwear, intimates, and the Mediterranean, the bikini and one-piece styles are inspired by the feminine form and designed with comfort in mind.
Sitchu Pick: The Prague Top and Bottom in Hermosa (a print inspired by the enchanting summers of Europe) is our go-to pick for summers spent abroad.

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: This 90s-inspired one-piece features a flattering square neckline that cleverly conceals a built-in underwire bra for extra support.
