Chic cuts, high-quality fabrics, and unmistakable flair: these are the Italian brands to watch.
Gucci, Versace, Armani, Prada—noticing a pattern here? Some of the most luxurious, innovative, and coveted global fashion brands all originate from one sun-drenched, boot-shaped country: Italy.
But we’re here to talk swimwear. You can see Italy’s unmistakable influence on this side of the fashion world, too, and understandably so. From the cliff-lined beaches along the Amalfi Coast to the lovely islands of Sicily and Sardinia, Italy has plenty of real estate for sea lovers to show off their swim looks.
Italian designers take their swimwear seriously. Each exhibits excellence in style, tailoring, and fabric innovation, delivering iconic looks that draw eyes worldwide. Let’s explore all that Il Bel Paese has to offer this season of sun and sand.
Oséree
While this resortwear brand may have a French name, its dazzling collections are made 100% in Italy. It was founded in 2015 by Isabella Cavallin and Jannine Vinci with a singular goal in mind: to create travel-savvy vacationwear that commands attention from day to night.

If you’ve ever been lucky enough to take a dip at an Italian beach, you know that the water practically sparkles. Oséree has managed to capture that glittering majesty in their latest swimwear collection.
This daring emerald green and midnight blue monokini transitions effortlessly from the beach to the club. It reflects both sunlight and the spotlight, earning the name Lumière.

Swimsuit-loving celebs like Rihanna, Beyonce, Kim K, and Dua Lipa have all donned alluring looks from Oséree, and we know why: they steal the show.
Take this sparkling sunset-inspired bikini for example. The shimmering, light-catching fabric seems to glow thanks to the woven-in metallized fibers. Complete with its classic halter neck, triangle cups, and bottom side ties, this two-piece belongs on the beachside runway.
Calzedonia
Calzedonia calls itself the bikini expert, and for good reason. Their hyper-trendy yet affordable swimwear has been flying off shelves since it was founded in 1986. Now part of a larger world of Italian-global fashion known as “Oniverse,” Calzedonia creates only the highest-quality garments for its wearers in terms of style, materials, and accessibility.

The powder blue hue and silky finish are reminiscent of the crystal clear waters of Lake Garda—near Verona, where Calezdonia got its start. With its removable padding and adjustable neck, back, and side ties, you’ll feel stylish and supported while you soak up the warm Italian sun.
Reina Olga
This woman-led, Milan-based brand began with a simple passion for itty bitty Brazilian bikinis. Above all, they value fun, creativity, and unmatched craftsmanship, which you can see in every hand-dyed fabric and stitch.
Splash Bikini Top and Bottom

Founder Guia Cleps named the brand after her two grandmothers, who shared a love of leopard print. Reina Olga pays homage to this love with each collection, featuring lots of funky patterns and animal prints—like the Splash Bikini in Ghepardo (AKA cheetah) print. This suit also features handmade, gold-plated seashell embellishments, making for an unforgettable beach or poolside look.

Of course, we can’t talk about Reina Olga and not highlight their crowning glory: the scrunchie bikini bottom. Inspired by a woman who tied her bikini bottoms with a scrunchie hair elastic, Guia created her first iconic design with comfort and style in mind.
Bikini Lovers
You may not have heard of this brand, but you’ve definitely seen their work on your Insta feed: celebrity trendsetters and fellow bikini lovers like Bella Hadid, Irina Shayk, and Kylie Jenner have worn their pieces to universal acclaim. From flowery patterns to bright, textured fabrics, Bikini Lovers gives youth and glamor.

Planning a seaside picnic but can’t find the right fit? This daisy and gingham two-piece is the perfect match. The balconette-style top is lined with daisy appliques, which are also featured on the high-cut side-tie bottoms.
GCDS
GCDS—an acronym for Giuliano Calza Design Studio—was founded in 2015 by Giuliano and Giordano Calza, two brothers with a one-of-a-kind aesthetic. While GCDS is not a swimwear-only fashion brand, they still set the bar for edgy, sexy, star-studded swim looks.
Hello Kitty Crochet Bikini

She’s everyone’s favorite cat—and one of the hottest styles of the season. Trendy celebs from brand-fav Dua Lipa to K-Pop royalty Jennie have unveiled their own GCDS x Hello Kitty looks. Now, you can bring your own look to the beach with the Hello Kitty Crochet Bikini.
The super-skimpy style and crocheted trim and embellishments will have you feeling like one very pretty kitty.
The Attico
Here’s another high-end Italian fashion brand diving head-first into luxury swimwear—and making a huge splash. The Attico just released their Estate Meravigliosa SS25 swimwear collection, which they call: “A celebration of freedom, femininity, and the untamed beauty of summer.” Sign us up!

Pastel pink and paisleys—what more could you ask for? This bikini feels delightfully retro while cementing its place in a modern swimwear capsule.
Lido
Named after the Venetian island where it was founded, Lido is an independent project created by Italian artisans dedicated to stylish and sustainable swimwear. You’ll find bold colors, classic cuts, and the highest-quality fabrics that have ever graced your tush.
Trentasei

If you only have one solid-colored one-piece in your swimwear wardrobe, let it be this. The Trentasei features super-skinny spaghetti straps, a low back, and a scoop neck—all classic elements of a must-have one-piece. Even better? It comes in a dozen different colors, so you can curate your perfect swim look.
