The Remix directory of where to shop swimwear in New Zealand

As the allure of sandy cheeks and salty hair beckons ever closer, we’re getting a headstart on where to buy swimwear in New Zealand for the season ahead. In true Remix fashion, we’ve done the hard work for you, compiling a list of our favourite swimwear brands - both local, across the ditch and internationally, so you can spend less time scrolling and more time shopping.

MISE
After launching earlier this year, small Aussie swimwear label MISE returns for summer with its SS25 collection, showcasing a series of swim separates and cover-ups in a palette of greys, chalks and browns, punctuated by vibrant reds and sky blues and hand-poured resin bead detailing. The beach-to-bar, bar-to-beach mentality shines through beautifully in pieces like the Bobbi Shorts and Farra Swim Mini Skirt that pair perfectly with jandals and kitten heels alike.

When it comes to luxe swimwear, SAME delivers. Known as a luxury label in the realm of swim and resortwear, the LA-based label is home to a collection of swimwear pieces that suit staying poolside and saved for special occasions (minus the risk of splashing).

Oddli
Oddli, an LA-based clothing brand (that thankfully ships to New Zealand), has become a fashion front-runner when it comes to swimwear at Remix HQ. Simple, unfussy and ever-so stylish, we fawn over a collection of tankini tops and shorts, bikini separates and one-pieces in a plethora of hand-designed plaid shades. Cuts feel a little on the cheekier side (which we like) and offer a vintage feel through scallop-edge detailing, transforming a traditional one-piece silhouette into a subtly sexy iteration.

At FELLA, the brief is simple - celebrate the female form through swimwear that enhances and endures. Since its inception in 2012, the Australian label has become synonymous with crisp, clean lines and its signature textured cloth swim fabric, brought to life through diverse cuts and fits. FELLA is your one-stop swimwear shop for cheeky thongs and full-coverage swimsuits alike, not forgetting its recent must-shop collab with New Zealand label Maggie Marilyn.

Form and Fold
Unrivalled function and flattering design go hand in hand with Form and Fold - the swimwear label designed exclusively for bigger busts. Founders Carly and Stephanie saw a gap in the market for swimwear that was both supportive and stylish for D+ chests, not one without the other. Long gone are ill-fitting pieces. Instead, say hello to swimwear that’s been tried and tested and supported by extensive research to support its wearers in fabulous form and fashion.
