Greek summer dressing has always been practical at heart: clothes designed for heat, salt, movement, and long use. The brands below work within that reality, each from a different angle.

Some focus tightly on swimming, others build full resort wardrobes, and a small number extend the language of Greek craft into footwear. What unites them is clarity of purpose and consistency of design.


Swimwear


Stefania Frangista

Texture and surface distinguish this swimwear; ribbed finishes, pique-style fabrics, and structured knits sit alongside solid colors, giving the pieces visual depth. The collection focuses on bikinis, one-pieces, and long-sleeved swim styles, cut to remain secure during swimming and extended wear. Italian technical fabrics dominate, usually polyamide with elastane, selected for resilience and shape retention. The brand is widely recognized in Greek fashion media and is stocked through its own website as well as select Athens retailers.

Maan

The design language here is direct and leans toward athletic, with silhouettes that reference sports swimwear rather than decorative beach fashion. High-cut briefs, firm tops, and clean one-pieces define the range. A clear sustainability position runs through the brand, with recycled polyamide and elastane used across collections. The result is swimwear with a classic vibe intended for active use rather than occasional wear. Pieces are sold through the brand’s website and through major Athens department stores, alongside international resort stockists.

The emphasis remains on ease and comfort, with garments intended to be worn directly over swimwear without additional layering. Sales run through the brand’s online platform and Athens showroom.
