Picture this, coffee or matcha in hand, strutting your hot girl walk down the esplanade in your workout gear and Aloé dad cap. Or….. a personal favourite at Aloé, knitted shorts with a bikini top, Capri shirt and Aloé dad cap. Chuck on some sunnies and your vibe check is complete.
Slap on the dad cap and SPF post surf or swim if you’re staying out in the sun. Even boys can wear them too!
It is predicted to be an extra hot summer and as much as we love soaking up the sun and feeling our skin absorb the vitamin D, sun protection is extremely important to us and the Aloé dad caps are a stylish and versatile must have for your time outside.
We have been wearing them everywhere here at Aloé, from beach to bar, to power walks and grocery shopping, our newest edition to our apparel pieces has become an essential staple of ours. With a neutral beige wash and minimal embroidered logo detail, the dad cap will compliment many outfits and pair with any colour.

Our favourite one pieces to double as a body suit are the Hayman one piece, the Santorini one piece and the Ibiza one piece.
With double lining and firm elasticity these really do hold you in all the right places.
The Hayman one piece is probably the most popular due to the simple and elegant straight bust line with thin over the shoulder straps.
We love paring the Hayman with any high waisted bottoms. Our go to is usually a skirt or jeans, throw on an open jacket in the cooler months for that slick chic look.
The Santorini one piece looks epic with knitted pants or shorts. Featuring a low back and side detail, this one is on the spicy side and will have you turning heads!
Lastly the Ibiza one piece looks hella cute with a short denim or linen skirt. The one shoulder detail on the Ibiza is a stand out and shows off those stunning collarbones. Pair this with long high waisted pants and a slick rick bun for a more sophisticated look.
All of the above can be worn with boots, heels, slides or sneakers.
Lastly this wouldn’t be an Aloé styling piece without the mention of our Beach to Bar classic looks. Wear any of the above one pieces with our Rica Maxi skirts to take you from beach to bar. Available in both black and white!
]]>Starting the day right is so important. Whatever your vibe is, here are 5 activities we like to practice and incorporate into our morning routine to start our days at Aloé
]]>Sometimes we can get stuck in some kind of “funk”, especially during a change of season. Having a consistent morning routine can help keep you on track and set you up for the day.
What is your morning routine like? Do you have one? Are you set in your ways, or do you just go with the flow?
Starting the day right is so important. Whatever your vibe is, here are 5 activities we like to practice and incorporate into our morning routine to start our days at Aloé.

We would love to hear what tricks you incorporate into your morning routines. Let us know by leaving a comment below xx
]]>There are two simple ways you can tie the skirt up at the side, either in a simple bow or you can double the knot and have the ties hanging loosely over the leg. If you’re after more coverage over the leg with the Rica Maxi, we recommend hanging loosely at the sides as these drape down quite nicely.
If you find the waist buttons too loose if you are in between sizes, you can easily tighten the waist by making the wrap around tighter with the front piece and fastening this to your desired fit with the ties.
In terms of styling, either skirt can be paired with any of our bikini tops, or one pieces. Grab yourself a pair of sunnies and a bucket hat or fedora and you’re good to go!
If you are heading out from beach to bar, a cute pair of sandals or heels/wedges are your best friend. Pair this with a crop or even again, one of our bikini tops as a bralette with a button up collared shirt worn open (our Capri shirt would be a vibe!), or one of our one pieces worn as a body suit, you pick!
Complimented with our shell chocker or any nice neck jewellery, earrings, bracelet, and clutch, hunni you’re ready to get the show on the road and turn those heads!

I like to start my mornings the same every day, I wake up early and head to the beach to check the surf. Sometimes I’ll head out for a paddle, otherwise I opt for a power walk along the beach. After this I’ll grab a skinny caramel latte from my local and then head home to start work - I love my morning ritual!
My work day usually begins with responding to emails and reviewing our stats from the previous day, this is also usually mixed in with content strategy and planning.
Lunchtime is here!
It doesn’t take long for lunchtime to roll around, I like to break up the day and usually take the opportunity for a quick home workout, and then I'll sneak in some lunch...I have been obsessed with smoothies lately in this warmer weather.
What do your afternoons look like?
My afternoons are usually spent assisting the team with processing and packing orders, as well as dropping parcels off at the post office - I love to be involved in this aspect.
Amongst the chaos you will also find me working on our marketing strategy with the team, planning our newsletters and working on anything else that requires my attention - there is always something to do!
The day is almost done…what does your evening ritual look like?
I like to wind up my day in the same place they begin - I head down to the beach to catch the sunset, and then I'll head home and cook dinner. In the evening I usually like to do a bit of design work which can involve anything from reviewing new prints, creating new styles or experimenting with different textures and patterns. Some nights I also love to just curl up on the couch with a glass of vino or a cup of peppermint tea and relax - it’s all about balance.
What do you love most about your job?
Our customers! - Running and owning a small business is challenging, and I would be lying if I said that every day is easy. Being a small business, every single order is truly appreciated and makes all those late nights and long days worth it. Thankyou to all our beautiful customers around the world. We love seeing you in your swimwear and beachwear pieces xx

We have also included a removable tie up waist band to provide more shape and fit if desired. The playsuit is designed to be worn over your Aloé pieces, but we think it looks amazing paired with some sneakers or slides and a bucket hat – an effortlessly fun and beachy look.
RICA MAXI - based on the same design as our much loved Costa Rica wrap skirt, the Rica Maxi is a longer length and sure to be a favourite of yours.

]]>I wanted to create something simple, classic, and timeless. I basically live in a bikini and am always coming and going - you will rarely find me in normal clothes, so I have focused on over swim pieces in this collection as I love nothing more than being able just to quickly throw something on over my bikini when I need to duck out. I have designed the pieces to be dressed up or down, so you can wear them to the beach or to the bar if you wanted!
That is a tough one, I would say the Costa Rica wrap skirt or the Cabo dress which is coming in part two of the summer injection.
After this crazy year, beach days are in order - I will be surfing and enjoying the simple things in life. I’m really looking forward to flying to my hometown and spending time with my nearest and dearest. I will also be focusing on bringing out some fresh new prints for our swimwear collection.
Yes - we have now added XL to our sizing, at this stage all our bestselling pieces can now be purchased in S, M L & XL, and we will be stocking the entire range in all four sizes in due course. We are also moving Aloé into more of a beachwear and lifestyle brand - we have some big, exciting plans on the horizon!
The summer injection also includes our fave Bilgola top and Chloe bottoms in Midnight Polka and the much loved Mykonos bottoms and Split top in Sea Bath. Drop 2 coming soon!
As always, all our swimwear pieces are fully reversible and hardware free, we can’t wait for you to spend your summer in Aloé Swimwear, remember to tag us in your summer pics for a chance to be featured on our gram! #aloeswimwear
]]>Continue to read on and discover why a little bit of sunshine, sand and salt is so good for us.
The ocean is a natural calming remedy for stress. Whether you are being soothed by the cool blue and green hues of the ocean, or calmed by the meditative sound of waves crashing, it is easy to find your zen by the seaside.
The seawater is full of minerals known to fight infection and inflammation. The saltwater will soothe sore muscles and heal our skin.
Did someone say free pedicure? Not only is a long walk on the beach a great way to keep active and clear our mind, the sand acts as a natural exfoliant, leaving our skin feeling amazingly soft.
When our skin is soaking up the sunshine, our body produces vitamin D, an essential nutrient supporting many vital functions in the body from your immune system and bone health, right through to your mood.
(Don’t forget your sun protection – sunscreen, a hat, and an Aloé cover up, should of course still be an essential part of your beach day!)
So why not put on your favourite Aloé swimsuit and spend some time at the beach this weekend? Focus on how it feels to have your feet in the sand, shut your eyes and breath in the ocean air, we promise you that there is nothing better for the soul than a bit of vitamin sea.

But before we fill you in … let’s tell you a bit about us. The Aloé story begins in 2013 with our founder and original Aloé Angel, Chloe Fisher (formerly Chapman). After chasing many summers around the globe in nothing but a swimsuit Chloe became inspired with the idea of reversible swimwear pieces. After 6 years of making women around the world feel beautiful and confident in their swimwear, Chloe felt it was time to start a new journey and hand over her wings to a new Angel… this is where our new director and designer Kate comes in. See our Q & A with Kate below and get to know her a little bit more.

See our Q & A with Kate below and get to know her a little bit more.
How did you become the new director and designer of Aloé Swimwear?
I had been following Chloe on social media for several years and was already quite familiar with the brand. Chloe posted a story on Instagram about selling Aloé and I happened to see it. I decided to put in for it, not even thinking that I would get a look in, as I had sent my application email quite late in the process. After some back and forth with Chloe over email and phone calls, she picked me to take over the brand and I was absolutely over the moon!!
What inspired you to reach out to Chloe?
In a desire for the beach life that I wanted to live, I had recently uprooted my life and moved 14 hours away from my hometown to the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. I was all on my own and away from family and friends, so you could say that I had a lot of time on my hands between surfs. I had always had an interest in fashion and was basically living in a bikini 99.9% of the time. I had been thinking about starting my own label or side hustle for a while and when I saw the opportunity to take over Aloé arise, I thought, why the hell not!?, I’ve got nothing to lose! And the rest is history basically.
What do you love about Aloé?
I love the reversible feature! As you get two beautiful, good quality swimwear pieces in one for such a reasonable price. I also love that you can mix n match the pieces and colourways to suit your style if you’re vibing a more unique look. The brand also inspires me to live my best bikini life and has given me more confidence than ever before.
What could possibly be next for Aloé?
I would love to do more beachwear and over swim pieces and of course, expand our overall market whilst continuing to make girls all over the world feel beautiful and confident in their own skins.
Some quick questions for our Angel Kate:
Typical coffee order:
Skinny caramel latte
My mantra is:
No one is you and that is your power – get it gurl.
Star sign:
Scorpio
Favourite Aloé piece:
My favourite one piece would have to be the Santorini one piece in Midnight Polka, and my favourite bikini set is the Chloe bottoms paired with the Alex top in Ink, everyone needs a little black kini!
Favourite Holiday Destination:
Greece
Favourite cocktail:
Amaretto Sour
What does a typical weekend look like for you?
My days usually start with an early morning surf or a beach walk, followed by coffee on the beach from my favourite local café. When I’m not working hard on Aloé, you’ll find me down at the beach (again!) or a having a sunset drink with friends. I also love a good wine and cheese platter or quiet night in with a good movie and a woodfired pizza. I love my chill time!
Early riser or night owl:
Both!
Sunrise or Sunsets:
I love them both for their own reasons, but if I really must choose, let’s go with Sunset…you just can’t beat golden hour!
