Sun’s out, hype’s up. Meet Women’s Swimwear by Cotton On Body—made for real life, real bodies, and every kind of beach day. From supportive one-pieces to mix-and-match bikinis, our swim is designed to move with you, flatter what you’ve got, and feel good from the sand to the snack run. Expect soft, quick-dry fabrics, adjustable fits, and silhouettes that let you choose your coverage. We back comfort and confidence equally, with styles you’ll actually want to live in. Think: easy beachwear layers, plush towels that double as accessories, and sets that go from surf to spritz without fuss. This is swim that keeps it real—and keeps up.
Why our Bikinis are made from recycled materials
Because less waste and more wear-time is a win. Where we can, we choose recycled fibres—like recycled nylon and recycled polyester—across many of our bikini tops and bottoms. Swimwear needs to stretch, support, and snap back, which is why these recycled yarns are blended with elastane for that comfy, contouring fit. Choosing recycled over virgin materials helps use resources more thoughtfully and gives existing plastic a second life, all while delivering the smooth handfeel, colour hold, and durability you want in swim.
We know “sustainable” is a big word, so we keep it grounded. Not every style is made with recycled content, but many are. You’ll find the details on each product page so you can choose what matters to you—coverage, support, colour, and composition. And because the most planet-friendly piece is the one you wear on repeat, we design with longevity in mind: secure stitching, considered hardware, and shapes that stay timeless. A quick rinse after swimming, shade-drying, and skipping the dryer will keep your bikini fitting beautifully for summers to come.
How can you mix and match our bikinis?
Start with the fit you love on top, then choose your vibe on the bottom. If you like a lift, try an underwire or bralette-style top and pair it with a high-waisted bottom for a sculpted, secure feel. Prefer minimal tan lines? A triangle or bandeau balances beautifully with a cheeky or mid-rise bottom. If you’re chasing waves or a beach run, look for thicker straps, adjustable backs, and fuller coverage bottoms that won’t budge.
Mix textures and tones to make it yours. Ribbed or crinkle fabrics add dimension when you’re teaming them with smooth finishes. Block colours are your capsule wardrobe heroes—think black, chocolate, olive, or coconut—then layer in a pop print or seasonal hue for the second piece. Tonal looks are effortlessly polished; contrasting brights are pure fun. Because tops and bottoms are sold separately, you can dial up or down the size and coverage in each piece for a just-right fit.
Pro tip from your changeroom bestie: match your support to your plan. Swimming laps? Go for adjustable straps and a secure clasp. Lounging and reading? A soft bandeau or halter is your move. Between sizes? If you want more coverage, choose the larger size in your bottom; if you want more hold, choose the snugger size in your top. And if you’re building a long-haul swim wardrobe, anchor it with a neutral set and a printed set—then swap pieces as your mood changes.
How you can match your towel to you favourite swimwear?
Your towel is basically your plus-one, so make it a moment. If you’re wearing a bold print bikini, choose a solid towel in a colour pulled from the print—it ties everything together without competing. Wearing a classic black or neutral set? Go luxe with a striped or logo towel for that subtle “I planned this” energy. Tonal pairings—sage on sage, cocoa on sand—feel elevated and effortless, while high-contrast combos like cobalt swim with a crisp white towel bring instant beach-club chic.
Function matters too. Plush cotton towels feel hotel-level fancy and are great for long lounge sessions. Quick-dry towels are lighter and pack down small—perfect for travel, gym bags, and back-to-back beach days. Either way, size up if you want full wrap coverage between dips or an impromptu picnic mat for you and your crew. After the beach, shake out sand, hang to dry, and wash separately to keep colours fresh and fibres fluffy.
How to go from the beach to the restaurant in our swimwear?
Easy. Build a beach-to-bar kit around your swim so you’re table-ready in minutes. A one-piece doubles as a bodysuit—just add a breezy linen shirt and a maxi skirt or wide-leg beach pants, slide into sandals, and you’re good. If you’re in a bikini, treat the top like a crop: layer it under an oversized button-up, or tie on a sarong and throw on a lightweight knit for that softly hot, sunset look. Keep a soft tote with your wallet, SPF, and a hair clip so the sand stays at the beach and your hands are free for calamari.
Colour-wise, let your swim lead the palette. A terracotta bikini loves a white shirt and raffia accessories. A cobalt one-piece pops with neutrals—think oat, stone, or black. If your swim is printed, keep your layers simple and let the print do the talking. Quick-dry fabrics help you transition fast; give yourself a quick towel-off, swap wet bottoms for a dry pair of lounge shorts if you want extra coverage, and you’re instantly restaurant-appropriate without losing the holiday mood.
Beachwear that pulls its weight is our sweet spot. Lightweight shirts, knitted cover-ups, and throw-on dresses are designed to work with your swim’s straps and shapes, so nothing fights for attention. The result is an outfit that looks intentional, feels relaxed, and gets you from beach blanket to booking with zero stress. Add a pair of sunnies, a slick of lip balm, and that post-saltwater glow. You’re set.
Whether you’re planning a surf trip, a sun-lounger marathon, or a quick dip after work, our women’s swimwear is here to support, flatter, and flex with you. Mix and match bikinis that fit your life, towels that feel like a treat, and beachwear that turns a swim set into an outfit. We’ll bring the fit, the feel, and the hype—you bring the sunshine.
