Where to Buy the Best Swimwear
Author: Stylist at TellarDate: 2025
1. High‑Street Favourites
Brands like LASCANA, H&M, Mango, and ASOS offer a fantastic range of swimwear styles—from supportive bras to cheeky bottoms. For example, LASCANA uses EU-based cup and bottom sizing that can run small, and Tellar advises sizing up if you prefer a bit more coverage

Top-tier swimwear labels such as Lido, Marysia, Sara Cristina, Bondi Born, and Matteau are known for stunning cuts and luxurious fabrics.
-
Lido: Precision Italian sizing with compression fabric where even a half-size difference dramatically changes fit. You’ll want the right size for support and bust shaping

Marysia: Recognizable for scalloped bandeau tops and high-leg one-pieces, but runs tight in the bust—Tellar’s matching guides help you size up if needed
tellar.co.uk+15tellar.co.uk+15tellar.co.uk+15. -
Sara Cristina: Mixes alpha and numeric sizing with minimal stretch. Tellar helps interpret bust/torso/hip proportions to find your size
tellar.co.uk+2tellar.co.uk+2tellar.co.uk+2. -
Bondi Born: Australian conversion differs from UK sizing. Its tailored swimwear is crisp-fitting; Tellar seamlessly converts AU to UK and suggests bust/hip adjustments
tellar.co.uk+15tellar.co.uk+15tellar.co.uk+15. -
Matteau: Another Australian brand using AU sizing. Swimwear is snug, so Tellar may recommend an AU 12 instead of UK 10 if you have fuller features

3. Boutique & Independent Brands
Emerging indie brands like Hunza G and CFCL offer unique styles (e.g., crinkle bikinis).
-
Hunza G: Markets as “one-size-fits-most,” but often support is minimal. Tellar helps users check if it truly stretches right for them
tellar.co.uk+2tellar.co.uk+2tellar.co.uk+2. -
CFCL: Independent tech-led labels need accurate fit; Tellar uses actual garment measurements for match accuracy and even offers a free tape measure

📐 Why Fit Matters—and Why Tellar Helps
The Fit Challenge
Swimwear fit isn’t just about size labels—it’s about complex factors:
-
Variations in stretch and compression
-
Minimalist cuts that amplify even slight sizing errors
-
Differences between AU, EU, UK, and US sizing
-
High-leg cuts, torso length, and support for bust shapes
This makes choosing the right suit a real challenge. As described in The Ultimate Clothing Sizing Guide from Tellar, what matters most is matching your body measurements—not guessing based on charts
