The wait is over—Heavy Manners, the beloved swimwear brand adored by Kendall Jenner, Dua Lipa and Hailey Bieber, just launched a fresh lineup of solid-colored bikinis, making their coveted styles more versatile than ever.
Known for its signature stringy triangle designs and bold, whimsical prints spanning from neon color-blocking and flirty florals to cottagecore-inspired plaids and abstract orb patterns, the NYC-based brand is now giving minimalists a reason to fall in love with their pieces. The latest drop includes its best-selling silhouettes in classic black, ruby red, rich navy blue, earthy gray-green and a chic mustard beige.
Jenner and Lipa have long been spotted on vacation wearing multiple of the brand’s stunning swimsuits, while Bieber sported a vibrant floral set for her Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment in Passionfruit Jelly campaign in spring 2023. The brand’s influence has also extended to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit universe, with Brittany Mahomes, Xandra Pohl, Nina Cash, Katie Austin, Olivia Dunne and Alix Earle all donning different Heavy Manners suits during their 2024 SI Swimsuit shoots. The label continues its reign as a must-have for stylish beachgoers looking for trendy suits that still exude major cool-girl energy.
Founded by Lisa Caprio in 2019, the NYC-based label is best known for its ultra-feminine, limited-quantity swimwear. Caprio, who both designs and models her brand’s offerings, describes her aesthetic as deeply influenced by 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥hood summers at the Jersey Shore and the thrill of stumbling upon vintage gems at thrift stores. Each collection is super unique, and sells out quickly, reinforcing the brand’s cult status among fashion insiders.
“As we approached our fifth year with the 2025 collection, I reflected on how much we’ve learned and how hard I’ve worked. It felt important to bring back the magic and playfulness that started it all,” Caprio tells SI Swimsuit. “I wanted to reinforce the core values of the brand—embracing a carefree spirit, not taking life too seriously, spending endless days at the beach, and feeling completely free to be yourself. We create countless prints, and we always will—but nothing can ever take away the timeless allure and effortless 𝓈ℯ𝓍iness of a solid black bikini.”
While Heavy Manners is best known for its barely-there string bikinis, we suspect the new Reading Suit one-piece, available in Burgundy ($168), Crème Brûlée ($174) and a classic Black, will become one of the label’s most beloved designs.
