Margot Zamet | Oct 5, 2022

At SI Swimsuit, we work with hundreds of swim and resort wear brands, from household names like ROXY to luxury, emerging brands like Maygel Coronel to independent designers that have dominated social media like Heavy Manners. And many, many more that are under the radar and deserve recognition and a spot in your suitcase.

We are always on the lookout for newcomers, especially those who work to innovate in sustainable ways, give back, and are more than just a brand. To keep you on the cutting edge of what’s hot in the world of swim, our fashion editors will be collecting and sharing their favorite suits on a monthly basis as part of our Editor’s Rack series, live from The Swimfluence Network App.

For so many people, shopping for swimwear is a stressful and unpleasant experience. Often what you see online is not what you get, but when you find a good option, it’s like the holy grail. We want to take the guessing and the endless searching off your plate and show you what’s really worth the spend. This month Editor’s Rack features all swimwear, but we are excited to add in resort wear and all beach-worthy items in the future. So stay tuned and happy shopping!
