Tommy Bahama Swim Celebrates 30 Years

Whether traveling the world or planning a weekend getaway, Tommy Bahama has everything to complete your perfect swim wardrobe. Heritage and attention to detail set Tommy Bahama apart, while glamour and relaxation make it the ideal choice for nearly every aspect of life. Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the brand continues to reinforce its roots by innovating bold design, the evolution of pattern-mixing, and creating a textural look that adds richness to its silhouettes. From reversible swimwear to coverups that can be worn every day, the collection features matching separates that double as sportswear. And a special emphasis on sun protection means you’ll be protected no matter how many fun in the sun hours you spend. 

Tommy Bahama Swim is known for exceptional fit and ultra-soft and supportive swim fabrics, as well as an ethos of sustainability with the Palm Modern® collection. From intense tropical florals, explosive oversized patterns and bold statement patchwork, bigger is definitely better for 2023. Tommy Bahama Swim features one-of-a-kind artwork designed by a talented team of in-house designers and artists. Inspired by the treasures of the sea, the Island Cays Sea Fronds Collection was sketched, painted and stamped to create a watercolor kelp print, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship behind the brand’s iconic prints. The Reversible Lace Back One-Piece reverses to an allover abalone print and features gold abalone cord ends, while the Shirred Bandini comes with removable straps for added wearability when paired with matching reversible high waist or hipster bikini bottoms. 

The Orchid Garden Collection is a stand-out graphic print mix of tropical floral with a customized floral border print that reverses to a blue or pink animal print. The Underwire Cross Back Bikini Top features the exceptional fit for which Tommy Bahama is known, available in bra cup sizes B – DD and featuring lace back detail for added support. The dramatic engineered artwork featured on signature swimwear like the Coastal Gardens Engineered Bandeau One-Piece, is another nod to the artistry that goes into the Tommy Bahama collections.  

A Tommy Bahama Swim bestseller, the Island Cays Color Block Bandini  offers a vivid color-blocking design for a fun alternative to standard stripes in a textured pique fabric that has built-in UPF50 and removable straps for easy wear. The Reversible Breaker Bay Halter Top and Side-Shirred Hipster Bikini Bottoms have flattering preppy-stripes that are available in coral, black and classic navy and reversible to their solid counterpart giving more versatility when dressing. Add in the Lace Front Tankini and the Stripe Skort for a sporty, modern take on the swim dress. 

The Orchid Garden print reverses to a trend-right animal print in pink/white, white/blue and black/white options and is featured on classic, reversible Tommy Bahama Swim silhouettes such as the comfortable and easy-to-wear Reversible Lace Back One-Piece and Triangle Bikini Top paired with String Bikini Bottoms. The Island Cays Hibiscus reverses from a hibiscus floral wood-block style print to a blue/white geo print in a range of mix and match two-piece silhouettes; while the Coastal Gardens tropical floral print reverses from a white ground tropical print to solid coral or black ground tropical to solid black. 

Tommy Bahama is synonymous with beachside weddings—and the women’s swim collection offers a bride endless options for casual to contemporary styling for her big day. The bride can go barely there with the white Pearl Solids String Bikini Top and Side Tie Bottom, worn under the airy Sunlace Long Open Front Duster. Try a more sophisticated High Neck One-Piece with a skinny belt in THE newest texture for Spring 2023, the ultra-soft Cable Beach cable knit swim collection. The Breezy Botanical Bandeau One-Piece has a feminine floral print on a solid white background that pairs perfectly with the Stand Alone Open Front Duster, featuring beautiful, embroidered detail. Tommy Bahama Swim offers an array of coverup options that can double as ceremony—or reception-friendly—dresses as well; from the Textured Beach Terry Tunic to the Salina Key Sea Fronds Embroidered Split-Neck Dress, there’s something for every style of bride.

Sleek silhouettes and sculptural details highlight the simplistic beauty of the Palm Modern Collection, the first-ever sustainable swimwear from Tommy Bahama. Launched in 2022, the collection gets an upgrade for spring/summer with a simple and delicate floral print, as seen on the Blissful Blooms Square Neck One-Piece, and V-Neck Bikini Bra with Hipster Bottoms. Solid silhouettes range from a Square Neck One-Piece and dramatic Double V-Neck One-Piece to a new Bandeau One-Piece; along with swim separates including a V-Neck Bikini Top, Halter Style Tankini, Hipster and High-Waist Bottoms to mix and match to create your custom style. Using innovative recycled fabrics and responsible production practices, these modern swimwear silhouettes feature ultra-clean lines, flattering deeper necklines, a higher leg cut and elegant curve-friendly seaming, in addition to built-in UPF 50 sun protection for sun-kissed sustainability.
