Spring and summer offer a serious opportunity to have fun with fashion. The warmer weather presents a chance to play with shorter hemlines, stylish swimwear, and accessories. As Australians, we’re particularly adept at nailing summer styles, and local designers seriously punch above their weight when it comes to resortwear. Case in point? Zimmermann’s colourful printed towels, Camilla’s vibrant swimwear, Forever New’s flirty summer dresses, and Seafolly’s beachy cover-ups. Here, explore our edit of the best in men's and women's resortwear for spring summer 2024, along with the best beauty buys to keep you glowing after a day in the sun.

When it comes to the intersection of menswear and resortwear, we embrace a ‘less is more’ approach. Orlebar Brown’s swim shorts offer the style chops of daywear – but you can still wear them in the water (we love the understated ‘White Sand’ cream-and-red print). Wear yours with a crisp white tee, or a ribbed singlet by Industrie. From the ankle down, fisherman-style leather sandals are the undisputed shoe of the season – Zara are doing a great iteration. And if you’re looking for a serious investment piece, you can’t go past Prada’s ‘Phantos’ sunglasses, which blend a classic silhouette with on-trend blue-tint frames.

A new season presents a great opportunity to restock your top shelf. Sunscreen is, of course, a non-negotiable for the Australian summer. Keep yourself protected from head-to-toe with Ultra Violette’s ‘Extreme Screen’, which offers SPF to your body and hands, as well as your face. On the skincare front, nourish your skin to help you glow from within with Emma Lewisham’s ‘Supernatural’ face serum, and Skin Physicals ‘Vitamin C’ brightening serum. Keep a glossy pout summer-round with Gisou’s honey-infused lip oil, and glow from head-to-toe with French pharmacy favourite Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Body Oil. Final touch? A spritz of KMS ’Hairplay Sea Salt Spray', for the perfect beachy tousled waves.
