As we prepare for the arrival of our Spring/Summer 2025/26 swimwear collections, the global swimwear landscape continues to evolve. This season, our curation reflects a clear shift towards elevated quality, sustainable innovation, and timeless design. The swimwear our clients invest in today is more considered, more refined, and more representative of personal values than ever before.
At Inner Secrets Lingerie, we are proud to represent a portfolio of exceptional international swimwear houses. These include Sunseeker, Miss Bikini, Gottex, Charmline, Lidea, Tessy, Roidal, and Maryan Mehlhorn. Each of these brands has earned its place on our rails not only for the quality of their garments, but for the ethos and legacy they bring to the modern woman’s wardrobe.
Conscious design and responsible materials
Consumers are seeking out brands that do more than just create beautiful garments. Labels like Sunseeker are leading the way with their use of recycled nylon and polyamide fabric scraps, alongside innovative production processes that prioritise sustainability without compromising on fit or fabric integrity. Clients can expect a renewed focus on earth-friendly elegance that wears as well as it lasts.
Statement prints, colour and cultural expression
Swimwear is returning to expressive roots. Miss Bikini offers a masterclass in print innovation with their Cruise India collection, showcasing exclusive paisley motifs, rich colour palettes and Eastern influences. This is part of a broader trend where fashion becomes a vehicle for cultural storytelling, translated through swimwear with heritage-inspired designs, modern tailoring and considered embellishments.
A focus on structure, shaping and fabric performance
Whether it is the body-sculpting technology of Charmline or the refined textural fabrics from Maryan Mehlhorn, designers are investing in materials that support, shape and move with the body. Expect high-tech lining, breathable weaves, and subtle compression, all built into garments that are as flattering as they are functional.
Resort-wear as an extension of personal style
This season, there is an increased emphasis on versatile, ready-to-wear pieces that transition seamlessly from beach to bar. Our brands are offering beautiful kaftans, shirt dresses, palazzo trousers, and coordinated separates in breathable silks, laces, and cottons. The lines between swimwear and resort fashion are increasingly blurred, allowing women to create full wardrobes around a few key pieces.
The modernisation of classic silhouettes
Finally, brands like Lidea and Tessy continue to refresh their core shapes with updated details, refined fits and modern proportions. High-waisted bottoms, soft square necklines, supportive long-line bikini tops and asymmetrical cuts are all key components of the SS25/26 aesthetic. These are familiar silhouettes reimagined for the contemporary woman who values both style and support.
At Inner Secrets Lingerie, our mission remains unchanged. We continue to act as custodians of world heritage lingerie and swimwear brands, bringing decades of craftsmanship to a discerning South African audience. These brands have stood the test of time because they understand women. They invest in quality, prioritise fit, and honour the confidence that comes from wearing garments made with intention.
We look forward to welcoming our clients in-store as new season collections arrive from late October 2025. Whether you are looking to update your holiday wardrobe or invest in timeless beachwear, we invite you to discover why these global brands remain the gold standard in swimwear design.
