Vibrant Zest

There are days when the beach is more runway than retreat and that’s when an absolute stunner like this is required. Not the type of one-piece to quietly fade into the background, this suit serves up a visual punch with body-sculpting colour blocking and a zip-front high neck for those who’d rather not leave everything to gravity but aren’t quite prepared to channel Bondi Rescue.

There’s something pleasingly modern about this get-up - it’s part turbocharged sportswear, part futuristic daydream. If it were a person, it would have a killer Spotify playlist and do circuits on the way to swim. It’s got structure and stretch, all in one confident body-sculpting piece. The centre zip is a handy nod to both functionality and a bit of “how much cleavage can I get away with before my children notice” customisation. The bold vertical line of piping isn’t just about looking fast; it visually elongates the torso so you can keep eating your Tim Tams right through December.

Panels at the sides contour towards your waist without being clingy or awkwardly revealing (read: nothing cuts in). And while this design is big on confidence and drama, there’s still enough support for actual swimming or, let’s be honest, awkward beach cricket attempts if you’re that way inclined.

Moderate coverage means you won’t spend half your afternoon yanking fabric out from where the sun doesn’t shine. There’s also that sublime sense of balance between feeling secure in your suit yet not being mistaken for someone who forgets how to play - fashion-forward but not precious. This is what happens when sport meets style and they both decide neither has to win, because you already are.
