6 swimsuits that can double up as bodysuits in your summer wardrobe
Capsule wardrobe pieces are rotational and versatile above all, saving pennies and environmental impact. Personally, I don’t think swimsuits always get paid their dues in this regard. These one-pieces can be one of your most worn items, proving seasonless and adaptable for all eventualities, not just poolside.
Let’s face it - swimsuits are just aqua-friendly bodysuits, so why do we refrain from styling them as such? A hero garment in the minimalist wardrobe, doubling up will not only save space but allow you to get more wear out of your existing collection. Plus, it will make beach holiday outfit prep a whole lot easier.
Here’s 6 investment swimsuits that will blend seamlessly into your daily rotations.

Twist Marjorette swimsuit | Eres
The strapless neckline, the two-tone twisted belt - this suit is a minimalist summer dream, in or out of the water. If I got my hands on this, I would be styling it with a pair of wide-leg linens (and a very large glass of wine).
Crinkle square neck swimsuit | Arket
It’s giving Hunza G on a budget. Not the most sustainable choice by any means, but I can tell you from personal experience this one-piece is super flattering as a daily bodysuit. See if you can find it second-hand!
Leme asymetric one piece | ZIAH
Choosing a slightly different cut for your bodysuit elevates what might otherwise be a bog-standard daily outfit. This asymmetric suit takes a contemporary twist, simultaneously offering some interesting tan line possibilities.
Striped recycled swimsuit | Matteau
Clean in design but still a little bit fun - stripes are about as far as I’m willing to go on the pattern front. This piece, with its square neckline and slim straps, feels like it was made to go further in your wardrobe.
Hana two-tone swimsuit | Bondi Born
If there was ever a brand to trust with your swimsuit investment, it’s an Aussie one. Not only is this pick timelessly stylish, but its sculpting material offers UPF50+ protection and invisible bust support.
The Poppy swimsuit | COSSIE + CO
Ok so stripes, and maybe the odd minimalist squiggle. This suit feels like another that is functional enough for daily pool laps, yet stylish enough to find home on a regular rail.
