Summer is the season I find myself wearing the most colour. It comes with the territory of days spent sipping a juicy limoncello spritz and making my way through the to-read pile that’s accumulated on my bookshelf. But when it comes to swimmers (aka bathers, togs or cossies depending on where you’re from), a black suit simply cannot be beat. Whether you’re team one-piece or looking for a new bikini, these timeless styles are always elegant and flattering – think of them as the LBD of your swimwear collection.

Dubbed an “all-time favourite” by a Broadsheet editor, Hakea's surf suit is the definition of sports chic. It fits with a zip-front and cap sleeves, but a cut-out detail gives party-in-the-back energy – it’s also UFP50+.
