9 Gender-Neutral Swimwear Labels For Beach and Pool Season

Gender-neutral swimwear has evolved far beyond simple board shorts and tank tops (not that there’s anything wrong with that!).

Today’s best label designs are designed with creative inclusivity in mind, focusing on versatile cuts, body-positive sizing, sustainable fabrics, and styles that transcend traditional men’s and women’s categories. Here are some of the standout brands that pioneered the market and are shaping it to reflect our community’s diversity.


Beefcake Swimwear

Inspired by 1920s one-piece bathing suits, Beefcake Swimwear has become the cult favorite for anyone who wants vintage style without gendered expectations. The brand’s signature zip-front suits flatter a remarkable range of bodies, creating a silhouette that feels athletic, nostalgic, and effortlessly cool rather than overtly masculine or feminine. Ethically manufactured in the United States and available in an inclusive size range, Beefcake proves that classic design can feel radically modern.


TomboyX

No company has done more to normalize gender-inclusive basics than TomboyX, and its swim collection follows the same philosophy. Swim shorts, compression tops, bikini briefs, tanks, and unisuits are designed to be mixed and matched according to comfort rather than gender labels. The aesthetic leans sporty and functional, with high-quality recycled fabrics that perform as well in the ocean as they do lounging poolside. For many nonbinary and trans customers, TomboyX remains the benchmark for practical, confidence-building swimwear.


Humankind

Humankind approaches swimwear with the belief that clothing should simply fit bodies, not genders. Its tailored swim shorts, swim tops, and rash guards emphasize comfort, mobility, and understated style, with subtle details drawn from both menswear and womenswear. The result is a polished collection that feels sophisticated rather than overtly activist, making it an excellent choice for travelers seeking timeless resort wear.


Chromat

Chromat has long challenged fashion’s conventions, and its swimwear remains among the industry’s boldest. Architectural cutouts, striking color blocking, and technical fabrics combine with one of the most genuinely inclusive casting and sizing philosophies in fashion. Rather than disguising bodies, Chromat celebrates them, making every collection feel like a statement about visibility, confidence, and self-expression.


Rebirth Garments

Few brands embody radical inclusivity as completely as Rebirth Garments. Every garment is created with disabled, queer, trans, and nonbinary communities in mind, often incorporating adaptive design principles alongside fearless color and pattern. The swimwear is unapologetically expressive, proving that accessibility and avant-garde fashion are not mutually exclusive but natural partners. It’s all made to order, so you can choose what elements in the design truly suit your needs and identity.


Dippin’ Daisy’s

Although traditionally marketed toward women, Dippin’ Daisy’s has quietly embraced a more fluid approach through minimalist separates that work across presentations. Neutral colors, clean-cut tops, and versatile bottoms invite customers to style pieces according to their own identity rather than conventional categories. Sustainability initiatives and accessible pricing have helped broaden the brand’s appeal among younger LGBTQ+ shoppers.


Lonely Kids Club

Australian label Lonely Kids Club brings playful irreverence to gender-neutral resort wear. Its swim shorts and coordinated beach separates feature bold graphic prints, relaxed fits, and a distinctly artistic sensibility that resists traditional menswear and womenswear tropes. Ethically produced in small runs, the collection appeals to those who want swimwear with personality rather than conformity. Catch the vibe here.


The Phluid Project

More lifestyle retailer than conventional fashion label, The Phluid Project curates swimwear alongside its own inclusive apparel, promoting a philosophy that rejects binary dressing altogether. Its swim offerings prioritize adaptable fits, simple styling, and broad accessibility, making the collection especially welcoming for shoppers exploring gender-neutral fashion for the first time.

Origami Customs

Handmade in Canada, Origami Customs specializes in custom-fit swimwear tailored to each customer’s body and identity. Compression swim tops, tucking and non-tucking bottoms, one-pieces, and adaptive options can all be customized, making the brand one of the most affirming and body-specific experiences available today. The craftsmanship is exceptional, and the made-to-order approach results in garments that feel deeply personal rather than mass-produced.
