Steve Madden’s latest collection is making a splash. After nearly four decades of dominating the shoe and accessory categories, the brand is diving headfirst into swim. The company’s expansion is being introduced as part of its ‘Hello Spring’ campaign for 2026, and the line can be found at a few surprising places — like Amazon.
Steve Madden’s first swimwear collection includes bikinis, one-pieces and statement cover-ups, just to name a few. It’s a trend-driven collection, with silhouettes that put fashion at the forefront yet remain functional for beach-goers and poolside loungers who enjoy a refreshing dip. Find flattering, comfortable and stylish swim and resort wear finds, starting at just $48 now.
13 Steve Madden Swimwear Pieces That Just Dropped
1. Not-So Basic: Everyone should have a little black swimsuit in their collection, and this Steve Madden pick is an elevated version of the basic one-piece. With stylistic details like a tie back and gold chain strap accents, this suit will be one you reach for again and again.
2. Trendy Tankini: If your swimsuit style lies somewhere between a skin-baring bikini and conservative one-piece, tankinis are a happy medium. This trendy two-piece features a polka dot design, delicate bowtie details and a strappy back that actually offers adjustable support.
3. Tie Top: We love options, and this tie-front tankini is another choice we’re eyeing. It’s a sexy alternative to the polka dot top, with a crochet texture for a not-so-subtle pop of skin.
4. Animal Print: Animal prints are always a ‘yes,’ and this leopard design is no exception. Rather than a typical scoop, the one-piece features a square neckline, plus a low back to highlight your silhouette.
5. A Mesh Moment: Mesh cover-ups are playful and sexy, but they don’t steal the spotlight from the main attraction: your swimsuit. We love cover-up separates, too, and these mesh flare pants are at a top spot on our wishlist.
6. Festival Fringe: Festival season is looming. If you don’t have your looks lined up yet, consider this playful halter that has fringe accents and elevated gold hardware. If it gets too hot, you don’t have to change since this pick is first and foremost a swimsuit — the going-out top aesthetic is just a bonus.
7. Mixed Media: A lot is going on for this one-piece, but it all works. The primary polka dot design is enhanced with pearl accents running down the sides of the suit, fastening the material together in spurts to create sexy cutouts.
8. Bandeau Top: Steve Madden was founded in 1990, so it’s only natural that the brand would give a subtle nod to the early aughts in its swimwear collection. The scarf bandeau top isn’t exactly a bandana kerchief, but the quiet reference stands, and we’re here for it.
9. Statement Bottoms: Bikini bottoms can sometimes be an afterthought if your main focus is finding a cute top. However, this strap side bikini bottom caught our eye immediately. The gold double ring accent elevates the trim and the fun floral pattern gives off groovy ’70s vibes. Bonus: There’s a top to match with the same stunning hardware for even more eye candy.
10. Elevated Staple: You can’t go wrong with a simple bralette style. Just in case you’re looking for a slightly more elevated staple, this on-sale version features a gold ring accent at the front that adds depth to the look.
11. One-Shoulder: This one-piece is stunning and oh-so sexy with an open back design, cheeky bottoms and a single shoulder strap. We love it in black, but the suit also comes in a gorgeous floral design.
12. Something Strapless: As far as we’re concerned, the less material touching our skin in the summer, the better, which is why we were immediately drawn to this cutout bandeau bikini top. It comes in several patterns and color, all of which feature gold bead accents that feel like jewelry.
13. Surprise Skirt: When we think of cover-ups, mini skirts don’t typically come to mind. However, now that Steve Madden has brought the option to our attention, we’re sold on the idea. The designer’s take is another mesh moment, and features adjustable ruching so you can decide just how short of a hemline you want.
