Packing two swimsuits

To pack swimwear well, take two suits rather than one. A one-piece such as the Square Neck Original Crinkle swimsuit gives you a reliable base for swimming, while a bikini such as the Xandra or Jean leaves more room to change and dry between wears. The point is rotation: wear one, rinse it, then let it air while you use the other. Hunza G's range makes that easy to plan because the one-pieces run from simple necklines to more decorative shapes, and the bikinis cover bandeau, embellished and ruffled options. For a compact bag, choose one straightforward suit and one with a different silhouette, instead of packing near-identical duplicates. If you are travelling between beaches, the second suit also gives you a dry option when the first is still hanging up. A simple black or dark-toned cover-up can work with both, which keeps the rest of the packing list focused. The aim is not to own a suit for every mood. It is to have a dependable choice and a useful change of pace.

Making the rotation work

Pack each suit in its own breathable pouch, or wrap it loosely in a clean towel, so damp swimwear does not sit against everything else. After swimming, rinse away salt or chlorine as soon as you can, press out excess water rather than twisting, and hang the suit where air can move around it. The crinkled finish on the Original Crinkle styles gives the pieces a tactile, slightly rumpled look, so they do not need to be perfectly flat in your case. Keep embellished designs such as the Celine, Mia or Julia away from rough fastenings and jewellery. Check the care label before washing, and avoid sealing a wet suit in plastic for the journey home. This routine matters more than bringing several extra options. Give the first suit a full chance to dry before folding it into a case or day bag. A small towel is useful for pressing water out, but do not leave the swimsuit bundled inside it for hours. If your accommodation has limited hanging space, drape the suit over a chair back or shower rail, away from direct heat. These small choices protect the shape, reduce musty smells and make the two-suit plan genuinely workable from the first swim to the last.

Choosing the right pair

Think about what each suit needs to do on the trip. The Original Crinkle one-piece, Pamela and Tyra are useful anchors when you want a clean swimsuit shape, while the Clara one-shoulder and Jasmine halterneck bring a more considered line for a hotel pool or lunch after a swim. For separates, a bandeau like Jean packs neatly and a style such as the Tessa bikini set makes the outfit feel intentional without adding another layer. Ruffles, cutouts and embellishment change the visual balance, so pair a busier suit with simple trousers, an open shirt or a plain sarong. A swimsuit can then work beyond the water, provided the fit feels secure and the cover-up is easy to remove. A one-piece can also sit under wide-leg trousers for a late lunch, while a bikini top may work with a loose shirt and shorts if you want more separation between beach and town. Keep the styling uncomplicated around the more sculptural cuts. The Domino, embellished pieces and strapless shapes already provide visual interest, so they need little else. For a long travel day, choose the suit with the least fussy straps and save the more delicate-looking option for time near the water. That makes the pair feel considered rather than excessive.

Our honest take

I would pack the Square Neck Original Crinkle swimsuit and one bikini with a different shape, probably Jean or Xandra. That gives me a dependable one-piece, a two-piece option and enough variety without filling half the case with swimwear. I would skip the most embellished styles if the trip involves a lot of rough towels, crowded beach chairs or hurried changes, because those details need more care. I would also leave the strapless Eloise at home unless I already knew the fit stayed put on me. For a quieter pool holiday, Pamela is the easy choice. For a stronger evening look, I would pick Celine or Clara. If you take one thing away, pack for rotation and air-drying, not for every possible outfit.
