m+ style: The Best Swimsuits for Summer 2025
Whether you're beach bound, paddling in the shallow end with little ones, or just fantasising about a child free hour by the pool, a good swimsuit is less about what looks hot on a hanger and more about what works—really works—in real life.
Think flattering cuts, sturdy fabrics, the kind of straps that hold firm when you're chasing a toddler with an ice cream.
But also? We're not here to sacrifice style. These are the swimsuits we love right now and curated for women who want to look great, feel confident, and still move like a mum on a mission.

Minimal, architectural, and made in Italy, Lido's ‘Due’ one-piece is the kind of elegant suit you’d wear to a grown up pool but structured enough to survive splash zone antics.
