How to Wear Color for the Beach the Stylish Island Girl Way: Living in Club Bonita

Fashion

Mon, January 12

There’s a certain point in beachside fashion when minimalism stops feeling fun. The waters are meant for color— and lately, I find myself craving more of it.

I’m not talking about the kind that feels forced or overly trendy (looking at you, overhyped tropical florals and too-strong neon gradients), but color that feels lived in, like sun-faded tiles, handwritten postcards, and sun-kissed skin that’s spent a little too much time outside.

Club Bonita arrives right on time.

Bydee’s latest collection feels like summer turned all the way up: louder, bolder, and more expressive, but still intentional.

It’s swim and resortwear designed for golden hours that stretch longer than planned and outfits that don’t need explaining.

The Swimwear Brand That Has Gotten Me More Compliments Than I Can Count

I can’t remember the last time I wore Bydee without someone stopping me to ask about it. There’s something about the details, the colors, the way the pieces sit on the body that people immediately notice.

Founded in 2013 and shaped by founder Dessy Hairis’ Mediterranean roots and love of travel, Bydee has grown from Sydney market stalls into an internationally recognized swimwear brand, but it still feels deeply personal.

Sustainability is also central to the brand’s identity. Bydee partners with REPREVE®️, a regenerated polyamide fiber made from recycled post-consumer materials—proof that beauty and responsibility can coexist.

Every Bydee swimsuit is designed to feel like your own wearable work of art, and with Club Bonita, that artistry reaches new heights.

Club Bonita

Club Bonita isn’t a place, it’s a feeling. It’s that stretch of summer when the days blur together, the music plays a little louder, and color feels essential.

This season, Bydee introduces three luxurious new swim prints alongside a bold, elevated resortwear range that feels perfectly timed for the festive months ahead. Blooming florals, mosaic illusions, and sunset-soaked hues blend effortlessly, creating a visual journey that’s rich with soul and movement.

Bydee’s CEO and Creative Director, Dessy Hairis, describes Club Bonita as a celebration of evolution—both creatively and emotionally.

“We wanted to bring our babes something that felt elevated, fun, and perfectly timed for the festive season ahead. Think bold colors, intricate hand-beaded details, and silhouettes designed to capture the essence of summer. With every collection, our pieces are becoming more detailed—and we’re absolutely here for it.”

Meet the Prints of Club Bonita

Florita: A Wild Garden in Full Bloom

Imagine soft pink blooms drifting across a fresh green base, capturing the spirit of summer filled with music, sunshine, and somewhere to be. Florita feels alive, like a wild garden glowing beneath golden sun.

Intricate beaded florals intertwine with vibrant embroidered motifs, giving each piece texture, depth, and movement.

Florita isn’t delicate; it’s expressive, playful, and impossible to overlook.

ZĂłcalo: Summer Far From Home

From cactus-lined coastlines to glimpses of sun-drenched city streets, ZĂłcalo layers nostalgia and wanderlust into every detail. Mosaic textures, tropical flora, and sun-faded tiles tell the story of a summer lived far from home, but deeply felt.

This print feels collected rather than curated.

Azul: From Daylight to Moonrise

Azul captures the duality of summer, painted in strokes that follow the tide from day into night. Soft, abstract shapes wrap around the burnt orange of a setting sun, melting seamlessly into deep navy waves.

It’s fluid, romantic, and endlessly wearable.

Sol: Heat, Spice, and Sun

Saturated in warmth, Sol glows with the energy of slow afternoons, terracotta rooftops, and skin bronzed by endless summers.

With a beautiful natural gradient, the Sol range looks stunning on pieces made to shimmer softly in the heat and move effortlessly with the body.

Styling Club Bonita

When it comes to color, the key is confidence. Club Bonita pieces are designed to stand on their own, no overthinking required.

Wear them how you would your favorite summer memories: a little undone, a little effortless, and always with intention.

Tops for Island Time & Mocktail Sips

Zunara Top in Sol

The Zunara Top feels like golden hour bottled up. It’s the kind of piece you throw on for a late afternoon drink that turns into dinner without ever going back to change.

The asymmetrical silhouette drapes softly across the body, catching the light in a way that feels relaxed but intentional. Sol’s warm terracotta tones radiate heat, like sun on skin after a long day outside, making it perfect for coastal dinners, rooftop aperitivos, or barefoot walks back home.

With its cowl neckline, adjustable rouleau ties, and open back, Zunara is designed to move with you. Semi-sheer and effortless, it pairs seamlessly with the Odessa Maxi Skirt or layers beautifully over your favorite bikini when the sun starts to dip.

Sirena Top in Florita

Sirena feels like stepping into a wild garden just before sunset.

Florita’s soft pink blooms drift across fresh green, creating a look that’s romantic without ever feeling precious. The high cowl neckline and open back strike the perfect balance between covered and confident, while gold-toned beaded details add a subtle shimmer that catches the light as you move.

This is the top you wear when you want to feel feminine but not fussy, or when the plan is simply to see where the evening goes.

Reclaiming One-Piece Coolness

Who said one-pieces were reserved for family vacations? The Tulum One Piece is proof that one-pieces can be just as powerful as bikinis, if not more.

Azul’s painterly blend of burnt orange and deep navy mirrors the sky as the sun disappears into the sea. The silhouette is clean and confident, with an underwire and mid–high cut leg that flatters without trying too hard.

Worn as a swimsuit, it feels bold and sculpting.

Styled as a bodysuit, it’s effortlessly chic, perfect with linen trousers or a sheer skirt when the beach turns into dinner plans.

Oh-So-Blue Azure Dreams

This set feels like the moment right after the sun goes down, when the water is still warm and the sky turns deep blue.

The Ischia Top’s gathered cups and adjustable double straps create a softly sculpted shape, while the Corfu Bottom’s high-hip fit feels playful and flattering. Azul’s fluid color story gives the set depth and movement, making it feel more like art than swimwear.

Finished with a brown resin centerpiece and textured gold accents, it’s equal parts refined and relaxed, made for sunset swims, late-night dips, and mornings that start a little slow.

Keep Up With Bydee

Club Bonita lives in that in-between moment when the sun dips low, the air stays warm, and the plan is simply to stay a little longer. These are pieces made to be worn, re-worn, and remembered. Wherever summer takes you next, they’ll come with you.
