Resort fashion has been a rapidly growing sector, with new brands emerging all-year long—Net-a-Porter introduced 32 new brands in 2019 alone. Beachwear is no longer just about bikinis and cover-ups, these new labels also create dresses, jumpsuits and blouses you'd wear at home too. What all of the following brands have in common is they all attempt to make hot weather dressing easy—whether you're going to Bali or jetting off to the Maldives. Scroll below to see our guide to the best beachwear brands for your new year's escape.

1. Faithfull

You might not have heard of Faithfull the Brand, but you'll certainly have seen its printed playsuits and dresses, as every influencer we can think of has at some point tagged the brand in their beach pictures. Faithfull's pieces are aimed at the "modern traveller," and its pieces are designed and produced using handmade techniques in Bali.

Three Graces London allows you to create the chicest holiday wardrobe around, as it specialises in beautiful linen and cotton maxi dresses as well as simple swimwear.
