Rooftop golden hour, blue skies, and a suitcase full of swimwear — this summer’s brand lineup came down to two labels I keep reaching for: Samiol and Berlook. Both nail that effortless, editorial look, but they each bring something a little different to the table. Here’s the full breakdown.
The Lineup
Samiol is my pick for anyone who wants texture and dimension — think shimmer knits, color-blocked cuts, and silhouettes that photograph beautifully in natural light.
Berlook is the brand I go to for clean, minimal shapes with just enough detail (a gold clasp, a contrast trim) to keep things interesting without competing with the outfit — or the view.
The Rankings
1. Burgundy Cutout Tankini — Samiol
This is the standout of the summer. The wine-red shimmer fabric catches light in the best way, and the cutout waist gives the shape of a bikini. If I had to pick one suit to travel with all season, it’s this one.

2. Black & White Colorblock Bikini — Berlook
Sporty but polished — the white banding on a black-and-white base makes this the most versatile suit of the group. Dresses up with gold jewelry, dresses down with a baseball cap.

3. Red One-Piece — Berlook
A total glamour moment. The keyhole detail at the center and the deep-red patterned fabric make this feel more “night out at the pool” than basic swim.

4. Navy & Green Triangle Bikini — Samiol
The chartreuse strap detail against navy is such an unexpected, fresh combo for summer — this one’s for anyone who wants a classic triangle top with a color twist.

5. Navy Micro Bikini — Berlook
Minimal, sleek, gold hardware. This is the “I didn’t try hard, but I look amazing” suit — perfect base layer for a rooftop or resort day.
