Sheila The Label
Founded just last year by Melbourne-born Apple exec Clare Barrins, Sheila delivers bold and bright activewear-meets-swimwear-meets-streetwear in sizes 6 to 24. Crafted from recycled nylon that’s rated UPF 50+ for sun protection, the range features shorts, crop tops and rashies – plus a ridiculously cute one-piece – ready for the beach and the gym, as well as daily life.Active Truth
Named for iconic Aussie beaches (Byron, Bondi, Coolum) Active Truth’s chlorine-resistant separates and one-pieces run from S to 3XL (approximately 8 to 26). Each design includes adjustable straps and a built-in shelf bra for lift and comfort, while textured block colours and effortless silhouettes bring cool-girl style to your beachside looks. Charlee Swim
All Charlee Swim pieces are handmade to order in Noosa, with mix’n’match bikini separates and a range of one-pieces available in sizes XS to 3XL (approximately 6 to 20). We dig the block colours with subtly retro textured designs, and it’s all made out of recycled and post-consumer materials.Saint Somebody
The Vogue- and Sports Illustrated-approved Sydney label (stocked at Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus in the States) has been turning out luxe swimwear since 2018. Simple and elegant ’90s supermodel vibes are the go this season with square necklines, cool monochromes and subtle detailing for sizes 8 to 28.Form and Fold
Taking its cues from lingerie sizing and construction techniques, this Melbourne-born label produces elegant pared-back swimwear in sizes 8 to 20 and cup sizes D to H. Bikinis and one-pieces feature hidden in-built underwire bras and design details such as powermesh slings and adjustable straps for extra lift.Andie
Andie makes the kind of bathers you don’t have to spend all day tugging at, just comfy well-cut non-boring classics in sizes XS to XXXL (approximately 4 to 24). The Essentials line features tried and true cuts in a range of colourways (check out the Amalfi in cherry red for iconic Baywatch vibes), and there are bold seasonal looks too, including textured fabrics and vintage florals.Obus
The swim line from longstanding Melbourne fashion label Obus is small but gorgeously formed for sizes 8 to 20. This season it features luxe shell motifs on bikini separates, zip rashies and luxe wrap one-pieces (very Versace on lifeguard duty) plus groovy checks and timeless block colours. Pair with matching hats, sarongs and accessories.Le Buns
This Melbourne brand offers a tight edit of long-wearing minimalist bikini separates in sizes 6 to 24 – mostly in classic black plus some cobalt blues and whites for good measure. Each top is convertible and can be styled to fit multiple ways. Pieces are fully lined for an extra-luxe supportive feel and made from a premium sustainable fabric blend containing recycled ocean plastic.Alulu
Aussie label Alulu utilises premium recycled materials for a sustainable and chic swimwear line that runs from sizes 8 to 24. Designs are considered, with subtle detailing and well-crafted construction that’s made to last. Plus, an online fit quiz promises to get you in the right size without the stress of trying on roughly 10,000 pairs in a busy changing room. Baiia
Amber Boyers founded Brisbane-based label Baiia after some “unempowering” experiences with swimwear. Signature glam reversible wrapsuits and mix’n’match separates – including long-sleeve tops and swim shorts as well as more classic bikini cuts – are available in a range of block colours and prints from sizes 4 to 26. And everything’s crafted from soft and durable recycled Italian polyester made from industrial and post-consumer waste.Liandra
This Top End luxury lifestyle brand – founded by Liandra Gaykamangu, a Yolngu creative from East Arnhem Land – offers extremely wearable separates and one-pieces in sizes 6 to 20. Hand-drawn prints inspired by culture adorn spunky reversible cuts (we especially love the Clam one-shoulder top and Edith peekaboo bikini bottom). Plus, it’s all made from luxury sustainable fabric; even the packaging is biodegradable.Emma Mullholland On Holiday
This playful Sydney label lives up to its name with an eclectic line of swimwear in sizes XS to XXXL (approximately 6 to 18). Find the brand’s signature hibiscus motif interpreted across bikini separates and one-pieces, or opt for fun details like bows, cut-outs and ruching. Pair with sunnies, towels and resort sets from the wider collection for a full Em on Holiday look.Remmie by Riley
Founded by model Riley Hemson, Aussie label Remmie offers unapologetically cool lounge-, resort-, active- and swimwear designed for sizes 6 to 24. Bikinis and one-pieces channel minimalism with a twist: like a fun reversible romper bathing suit in tasty espresso colourway, or a tube-top-and-swim-short combo that brings punk rock to the beach.We hope you like the products we recommend on Broadsheet.
