Heat wave season is here. Whether you’re staying close to home or escaping to the beach for a sun-soaked weekend, a cute swimsuit is essential. Here are nine homegrown designs to kick off your wet, hot Canadian summer.

This swimsuit is the perfect balance of sporty and stylish. The pink-and-red colour combo gives the classic silhouette a trendy update. And the best part? It's reversible, which gives you the option to show off the cobalt blue lining.

Team Chatelaine loves leopard print, and this two-piece is no exception. Available in sizes X to 4X, the bikini top has adjustable straps for extra support.

Made from a sculpting fabric with built-in sun protection, this bathing suit is a beach-day MVP that doesn’t budge. Complete the look with the matching tie-on skirt.

Torn between a one-piece and a bikini? This cut-out design—made in a two-tone print inspired by water currents—is the best of both worlds.

Chartreuse and aqua make for a vivid combo in this one-shoulder silhouette from Bathing Belle, a Toronto-based brand that specializes in custom-made swimwear.

Designed to offer extra support with adjustable straps that can be worn multiple ways, this zesty two-piece is both practical and stylish.

This stylish collab between Vancouver-based brand Left On Friday and fashion designer Clare V. features a long-sleeved swim top that offers UPF50 protection to shield skin from UV rays. With its contrast seams and mockneck silhouette, it's a trendy take on the basic rash guard.

Want more coverage? You're in luck! The tankini is making a big comeback this summer, and this affordable two-piece with ruching details is the perfect way to embrace the trend. It’s available in sizes XS to 3X.

This classic one-piece comes with a belt to define the waist and add an extra pop of colour.
