Your High Summer Swim Update

Bask in the sweet relief of the summer season with the latest swim arrivals that demand sunshine.

On a mission to make even the smallest moments count, look to a fresh new swimsuit to guide your summer storyline. Whether it’s an east coast adventure or you’re poolside in the city, we’ve rounded up the best styles to take you anywhere.

With her it-girl eye on styling and creative direction, let style muse and friend of DJ’s, Sarah Ellen, show you how it’s done. In front of the camera alongside the gorgeous Cameron Stephens, join them on the summer of their dreams and don’t forget to map out yours.

This season, monochrome hits more cool than classic. Sharp silhouettes and clever cut-outs work in your favour, blending the best of elegance and intrigue for a style to love beyond the season.

Think of destination-inspired prints as a wearable manifestation of where you’d rather be. Camilla’s charismatic French floral feels perfectly at home in a summer of dreaming. For a look that can carry you all the way to your next destination, style it with one of her signature sarongs.

For a change of pace, let Jets take you to the jungle in a camouflage that’s fit for the tropics. If you’re not looking to commit, let your mood lead the vibe and opt for Maaji’s Ponderosa reversible bikini for unpredictable fun in the sun.

Coverage got cool at the start of the season and it’s here to stay. Retro by nature, new season styles balance ‘70s revival prints with the perfect cuts that inspire an unapologetic aura of confidence.

Championed by Faithfull Swim’s Amalfi inspired high-waist and Bec + Bridge’s cool girl renditions, it’s never been more chic to cover up.

Fresh on the trend radar this season is gingham. Gloriously girly in every way, a fresh pastel palette renews a traditional print with an innocent exuberance. With shapes that work for every body, our favourites include Peony’s Square Neck, Seafolly’s Check In Bralette, and Charlie Holiday’s Sienna Strapless, new to David Jones this season.

Purveyors of good times and masters of relaxation, Charlie Holiday creates resort and swimwear for our kind of girl.

A resident of the world, with an Australian home base, each style is an exercise in infectious colour and of the moment shapes. Exactly what we want to wear after the water, let their breezy lineup form the foundation of your high summer uniform. It makes you think, with looks like these, where else would you rather be?
