Swimsuits have long been a Sydney style staple — Speedo started there in the 1920s. In Bondi, Tuchuzy, tel: (61-2) 9365 5371, does a tidy line in covetable little numbers for women and men. Check out burgeoning cult brand Seventh Wonderland — Bonnie Coumbe's Art Deco – esque designs are artfully constructed from Italian fabrics (from $155). On the trunks front, shorts by Franks (pictured, from $55) are downright winsome.
