Why a Metallic Swimsuit Should Be Top of Your Summer Wish List

We welcomed the '70s resurgence with open arms for spring, embracing suede, fringing and everything in between—but our favourite way to wear the trend in summer? By taking the sparkle of the disco era and wearing it on the beach.
POPSUGAR Australia highlighted this trend in its recent shoot with model Juliette Perkins. The opulent feel of the shiny fabric will make it feel as though you’re sprawled on a yacht in St Tropez—just add wide-leg culottes and you’re ready for that beach-to-bar feel.
Keep scrolling to see a sneak peek of the shoot and shop our favourite metallic swimsuits, then head over to POPSUGAR Australia to see the entire spread.
