Elie Saab Spring 2026 Swimwear

There is a particular fantasy that certain collections sell more convincingly than others: the one where the days are long, the light is golden, and the day moves seamlessly from a morning on the beach to dinner somewhere with a view worth dressing for. The Elie Saab Spring 2026 swimwear capsule collection – Citrus and Salt – sells it very convincingly indeed.

The collection is built around a palette of black, white and sand that is contrasted with fresh lemon and lime, along with a summery sky blue. A daisy motif runs throughout, appearing as both a print and in three-dimensional form on dresses and tops, always handled with the tasteful precision that characterises everything in this collection:

The openwork detailing – macramé-style construction and guipure cutwork on tank tops and dresses – is particularly accomplished, light and artisanal without ever feeling rustic. Python print also features, appearing on thong sandals, a swimsuit, and a bikini.

The silhouettes make their own statement. Seventies references surface in flared trousers and wide leg jumpsuits, handkerchief hems flutter on easy cotton dresses, and cover-ups are tied effortlessly. The pieces are interchangeable, there is texture and movement, and the overall effect is of a capsule collection that will go from day to night with plenty of style and elegance.

For those occasions when the sun goes down and the setting demands something more, this Elie Saab swimwear collection holds strong: dresses with 3D embroidery, gowns that flow in the summer breeze, and crystal-embellished maxi dresses all feature.

The Riviera Tote in raffia, the cloche hats, the platform mules: the accessories complete a picture that, from first look to last, makes me wish the summer was already here.
