Hailing from Tasmania, Romy might not seem like the most obvious fashion label to heed summer wardrobe advice from. But sure enough, the print-forward label’s latest summer collection is ticking all the right boxes.

Founded in 2022 by Emma Petterwood (who founded Hobart boutique After Eight), Romy is a colour-drenched label embracing bold maximalism through considered styles. This season, Romy has introduced swimwear. Here’s what has caught our eye from the new collection.

Romy Luna dress

$359

This is Romy’s hero piece, a strapless, column midi dress saturated with a bold, block-print handpainted in-house. It’s a statement piece that calls for summer’s long days and longer nights.

Romy Reese shirt

$255

Teal and tan make for an unexpectedly delightful combo. This open-collar, buttoned T-shirt is an elevated take on loungewear. Pair it with the matching pants and a kitten heel, and you’ve got yourself a going-out look.

We’re calling it: accessories will be summer’s hottest trend. Romy’s Ritual sarong doubles as wearable art. The multi-wear piece, crafted from cotton, is as practical as it is stylish.

Sheer fabrics and sequins go hand in hand. This fitted midi skirt provides a pop of colour and a playful texture injection, making it a holiday-season favourite. Plus, it features hand-beaded detailing.

Romy Wren tank

Romy’s take on a white tank is subtle, yet effective. With an embroidered front and contrast zigzag topstitching, the ribbed scoop-neck serves as a reliable outfit base.

Romy’s first swimwear piece it has created is this halter-neck, one-piece. Coming in two colourways, the suit stars one of Romy’s painted prints and is hand-finished with beading.
