If you’re heading somewhere on a par with paradise in the near future â€' in Southeast Asia alone, there are so many islands and beaches to choose from (Philippines, Perhentian islands and Bali to name just a few) – you’re going to be in need of some seriously fabulous resort wear. We’ve made note of some hot young things who do this particular market very well, from well cut bikinis and genuinely flattering swimwear, to playsuits and haute bohemian gowns for cocktails under the stars. Here’s to a perfect, stylish vacay!

Another Aussie-founded e-commerce site, they specialise in bringing contemporary labels (read: affordable luxury) based in Oz to savvy online shoppers. They have free next-day delivery in Singapore which is amazing, and I love their Studio 54-esque looks for a dramatic evening in the sun!

With the founder based in Singapore but an Australian native, The Wyld Shop brings the best of the Aussie high street to a Singapore audience. We love the well cut bikinis they feature, which will support anyone with boobs and a derriere of even goddess Bey-like proportions, as well as their rompers and off-shoulder dresses. They’re perfect for the hot climate in Singapore too!

I want all their kaftans just to wander around the house in! Singapore based label ‘the wit and the will’ came from a desire for fashion-forward but not overly exposing beach wear staples that come at an affordable price. I’m obsessed with their haute boho aesthetic, as to be honest, I’m definitely a haute hippie at heart! Oh, and their Instagram is also serious #goals!

Baliza is an incredible, socially-conscious fashion brand inspired by the beach babe lifestyle of Bali and Ibiza. For the chic and cultured woman, the craftsmen are based in Jaipur, and are part of a vocational training program run by an Indian NGO. Their off-shoulder tops and bright print kaftan dresses are high on our wishlists! The materials and craftsmanship are all sourced in Jaipur and handmade.

A Cali-based site, Everything But Water stocks ‘It’ swimwear brand (favoured by Hannah Bronfman, Kendall & co.), Kiini. The New York based label handmakes all their bikinis, and they make for some seriously gorgeous Instagram shots! Bear in mind there will be shipping fees no matter which retailer you go through, but hey, the stunning pieces are worth it! The Brazilian cut briefs and body-flattering bikini tops are made to work with you and not against you.
