Isa Boulder is instantly recognizable because of the swimwear’s satiny finish and beautiful ruching details, making it the most glamorous thing you can slip into for a trip to the beach.
Nensi Dojaka is best known for its slinky runway pieces finished with cutouts and barely there straps, and you can now find that same design aesthetic available in the swimwear department. This is the brand’s first season launching swimsuits, and I expect them to be huge for summer.

Chanel swimsuits have always been big among the fashion set, but they have even more of a cult following this summer thanks to the S/S 22 runway show that showcased ’90s-inspired silhouettes. Opt for bright hues and classic Chanel branding.
Another brand that is synonymous with luxe swimwear? Oséree. The brand’s glittering swimsuits are a favorite on the fashion scene, as are its cool prints.
When it comes to the peak of cool minimal swimsuits, Matteau is the brand to know. The Australian label has mastered simple lines and timeless silhouettes but also throws in season-defining trends.
It doesn’t get more classic than Eres. The French brand’s swimsuits are true investment pieces, so if you’re looking to buy something now that you can own forever, this is what to order.
