Gold Coasters will tell you that your swimsuit is one of the hardest working pieces in your wardrobe – it can take you from early morning swims to late nights out. But there’s an art to styling your swimmers, so we asked the experts how to wear swimwear all summer long.
ElMina is an Australian swimwear line designed right here on the East Coast. Their mission is to provide a stylish alternative to surf wear, with funky prints and flattering cuts front of mind.
To prove their versatility, we asked ElMina founders Ellen and Mina to style three of their most popular styles for three different occasions – and they well and truly delivered…
