Date Night Swim

There is a very specific energy to swimwear that is meant for after dark. It is not about covering up or stripping down — it is about walking onto a rooftop terrace, drink in hand, and knowing that what you are wearing is doing some serious work. This edit is for those evenings. The ones where the pool is lit from underneath, the music is just right, and you could not care less about tan lines.

The Melissa Odabash Polynesia in red is the centrepiece of this collection, and honestly, it might be the most dramatic swimsuit I have come across this season. It is not subtle. The plunging neckline and the way it cinches at the waist means it looks like it was tailored to you personally. Red swimwear is a commitment — you are saying “look at me” and meaning it. If that sounds like your kind of evening, this is your piece.

Hunza G brings the metallic heat with the Celine in rosewood. There is something about metallic swimwear under warm lighting that just works. It catches every flicker of candlelight, every reflection off the water. The tonal hoops are a clever detail — decorative without being costume-y. The Faye in black and white is the opposite approach: clean, graphic, architectural. It is the kind of swimsuit that makes people ask where you got it. The Tyler bikini keeps that monochrome energy going with a high-waisted cut that feels more intentional than a standard bikini. It reads as an outfit, not just swimwear.

Monday Swimwear earns its spot here with two genuinely strong pieces. The Bahamas in black is deceptively simple from the front, but the deep scoop back is the real story. It is the kind of thing that looks even better when you turn around to order another drink at the bar. The Cyprus in azure is bolder — that plunging neckline and the lace-up back give it a proper going-out-out feel. At £159 it is also the piece that proves you do not need to spend £250 to look like you did.

The Prague Paloma bikini top is here for anyone who wants something structured and architectural. The bandeau shape with those built-up cups gives proper support without straps, which matters when your evening involves more dancing than swimming. And I have included the Murcia in white because it crosses over perfectly from honeymoon territory — that gold belt detail glows under evening light, and white against tanned skin after a day by the pool is always going to be a power move.

This edit is for the woman who treats the hotel pool as a destination, not just a place to cool off. Pick one piece, pair it with oversized gold earrings and a slip skirt for the walk to the restaurant afterwards. That is the whole game plan.
