What makes Sheila different from other women’s swimwear brands?

Sheila designs women’s swimwear that moves between swim, sport and everyday wear. Our pieces are created with stay-put construction, inclusive sizing and UPF 50+ rated fabric. Unlike many traditional swimsuits for women, our designs prioritise coverage, comfort and versatility without sacrificing polish.

Is Sheila considered modest swimwear?

Yes. Sheila offers modest swimwear designed with thoughtful coverage and secure fits. Our modest swimsuits for women include high-waisted silhouettes, longer swim shorts and supportive one pieces. The focus is confidence and functionality, rather than trend-driven minimal styles.

Can I wear Sheila swimwear for workouts or everyday activities?

Our swimwear for women is designed to transition easily from ocean swims to pilates, hikes or errands. The fabric is supportive and durable, making it ideal for movement both in and out of the water. Many customers wear their pieces as activewear throughout the day.

Does Sheila offer sustainable swimwear?

Sheila creates sustainable swimwear using recycled nylon sourced from discarded materials. Our women’s sustainable swimwear follows recognised global recycling standards and is crafted to last, reducing the need for frequent replacement. We are committed to thoughtful production at every stage.

Does Sheila swimwear provide sun protection?

Yes. Our UPF swimwear is made with UPF 50+ rated fabric to help protect against harmful UV rays. This UV protection swimwear is ideal for long days outdoors, offering built-in coverage without the need for additional layers.

What sizes does Sheila offer?

Sheila offers inclusive sizing from AU 6–24 and US 2–20. Our women’s swimwear is designed to fit true to size, with secure construction that supports a range of body shapes. Detailed size guides are available to help you find your best fit when shopping for swimwear online.

Are Sheila swimsuits suitable for full coverage?

Many of our designs are ideal for women seeking more coverage. Our modest bathing suits for women include high-waisted briefs, longer swim shorts and streamlined one pieces that stay in place. The result is swimwear that feels secure, comfortable and refined.

Sheila KNOWS summer!

"Sheila in one word: Perfection. This is swimwear that *actually* understands what women want and need. The Grace Mini Shorts naaiiiiled the high-waisted design. I felt supported, not suffocated. I’m obsessed."
GRACE MINI SWIM SHORT
The perfect rash vest does exist!

"I bought the Cate Rash Vest and I love love love it. Why? Excellent fabric, thumb holes with sufficiently long arm length. Yay! Sturdy zip. I will be wearing it for years to come. I reach for it *ALL* the time. "
CATE RASH VEST
MAKES ME FEEL INCREDIBLE

"I get so much more wear out of this piece than I could have hoped for. Perfect for summer hikes to swimming spots, dance classes and styled under an oversized shirt for days running errands. The thing I love most is how incredible I feel when I wear it."
MINA ONE PIECE
My Forever Costume

"*THIS* costume is exactly what I have been looking for. Love the quality and thickness of the fabric. This will be my 'forever' costume. No more board shorts for me!"
MINA ONE PIECE
The most incredible swimwear

"I cannot emphasise enough how incredible these bathers are. You feel the quality from the second you put them on. It's also VERY true that you won't need a separate wardrobe for gym/swim/leisure anymore — just imagine! Sheila customer for life, here. *LOVE THEM*."
GRACE MINI SWIM SHORT
Amazing — in and out of the water

"Love, love, love these shorts. Very comfortable, wet or dry. I just know I'll be doing so much more this summer (in and out of the water) because I feel more secure wearing them."
MIRANDA LONG SWIM SHORT
Glad I took the plunge!

"Thank you, Sheila, for offering a range of lengths. This thick-thighed girlie appreciates the extra coverage. Although I bought these as swim bottoms, I've actually worn them more frequently to pilates as they are so comfortable."
ALYSSA MID SWIM SHORT
Perfect bum coverage!

"Absolutely love the fit of these bikini bottoms! They give me high-waisted and full bum coverage and stay in place. No wedgies in sight! The fabric is thick and luxurious."
MARGOT HIGH WAISTED BRIEF
My go-to!

"This really is such a fantastically functional and cute suit. I walk, stretch and do yoga, swim, stop for brunch and always feel appropriately dressed. It doesn't budge in the surf. The legs don't ride up. It's my go-to piece!"
MINA ONE PIECE
Makes me feel so confident!

"I absolutely love this bathing suit! I can see myself doing anything in this swimsuit - rock climbing, swimming, beach sports and just lounging by the pool on a lazy day. Love it!"
