55 Years Later, Fashion People and Celebrities Still Swear By This Elegant Swimwear Brand

For those of you who've been counting down the days, I have good news: summer holidays are right around the corner. After months of patiently waiting for the weather to turn, dreams of days spent lounging beachside surrounded by warm sun and glistening waters are finally within reach.

As someone who loves a plan, I always have my capsule holiday wardrobe figured out months before my trip, but somehow, swimwear always gets left to the last minute, and all too often I’ve found myself scrambling at the airport or in hotel shops to find something that simply does the job. This year though, I’m already ahead of the game. During a casual scroll through Instagram (for research purposes, of course) I found that swipe after swipe, the same brand was appearing in tagged photos from celebrities and fashion people alike. And this renowned swimwear label has been making sophisticated styles for over 55 years.

Much like the quietening of fashion, we're now seeing minimalism and refinement making waves in the swimwear sector, too. And this is what Eres does best. With over five decades of history, the brand's legacy is cemented in timeless compositions, and it has the heritage to prove it. Focused on swimwear, lingerie and sunny pieces, the brand excels in designing classic styles destined to accompany you on all your adventures from far-flung islands to the British coastline.

With a clear understanding of form, there's a focus on comfort and support as well as silhouette in each design. As someone who needs different sizes for my top and bottom halves, I particularly appreciate that the bikini two-pieces are sold separately so you can find the perfect pairing for your shape. Whether you prefer a one-piece swimsuit or a mix-and-match bikini set, Eres' summer 2024 collection has something for everyone. With sophisticated square necklines, classic triangles and contemporary cut-outs, the brand has honed in on sleek design details that set it apart from the rest.

Sticking to a capsule edit of designs, the pieces come in an array of shades, from classic neutrals to bolder hues. From Alexa Chung's island retreat to Kelly Rutherford's spa day, celebrities and fashion people alike are proving that these classics are the swimwear to be seen in for summer 2024, wherever you're headed.
