THE OPENING HOOK
On the Italian Riviera, color isn’t decoration—it’s a declaration. Reina Olga built its reputation on the kind of neon that looks almost lit from within, the kind that turns saltwater into a mirror and sunburn into an accessory. This is swimwear designed with a fashion editor’s eye: high-cut legs that lengthen, micro silhouettes that flirt, and cut-outs that frame the body like modern sculpture. The brand’s pieces feel unapologetic, but never careless—clean lines, tight stitching, and performance fabrics that hold their shape. Think of it as the soundtrack of summer: loud, glossy, and impossible to ignore.
BRAND STORY & HERITAGE
Reina Olga is an Italian swimwear label born in Milan—fashion’s most exacting city, where a millimeter matters and a silhouette must earn its place. Founded by creative director Guia Cleps (a designer with a sharp instinct for what photographs beautifully and wears even better), the brand quickly became a shorthand for “vacation confidence”: bold color, daring cuts, and a fit that celebrates the body rather than correcting it.
Its philosophy is simple and modern: swimwear should look like fashion, not equipment. That’s why Reina Olga leans into sculptural cut-outs, cheeky coverage, and high-leg lines that nod to ’80s glamour—yet are engineered with contemporary stretch and recovery. The aesthetic found a natural home on Instagram and in resort wardrobes from Capri to Tulum, where the camera rewards saturation and clean geometry.
Interesting facts: (1) Reina Olga is known for its signature neon palette—colors chosen specifically for how they pop in bright sun and against Mediterranean blues. (2) Many styles are Made in Italy, benefiting from Italy’s heritage of precision cut-and-sew and high-quality swim fabrication. (3) The brand has become a cult favorite for its “tiny-but-technical” approach: minimal fabric, maximum structure—so the suit stays sharp after swims, sun, and selfies.

FAQ
1) What is Reina Olga?
Reina Olga is a Milan-born Italian swimwear brand known for high-impact color, daring cuts, and a fashion-first point of view. If classic swimwear is about blending in, Reina Olga is about arriving—often in neon hues, cut-outs, and silhouettes that feel as sharp as ready-to-wear. The pieces are designed to be photographed, yes, but also to perform: supportive stretch, smooth finishes, and precise shaping that keeps its line. Whether you’re after a one-piece that looks like a bodysuit or a bikini that reads like editorial styling, you’ll find the brand’s signature attitude throughout the Reina Olga collection at Aumifour.
2) Is Reina Olga swimwear true to size?
Most Reina Olga swimwear fits true to size, but the brand’s intentionally minimal silhouettes can make fit feel more “decisive” than conservative swim labels. If you prefer a firmer, sculpted hold (especially in high-cut or cut-out one-pieces), choose your usual size. If you’re between sizes or want a touch more coverage and comfort—particularly across the hips or bust—consider sizing up. Look at the style’s design cues: micro bottoms and high-leg lines will naturally show more, while fuller tops or wider straps offer more stability. When in doubt, start with the size that best matches your bust measurement for tops and your hip measurement for bottoms.
3) What makes Reina Olga swimwear different from other brands?
Reina Olga’s difference is in the contrast: barely-there silhouettes executed with serious construction. The cuts are bold—high-leg, cheeky, and often cut-out—yet the finish is clean, with smooth seams and fabrics selected for stretch and recovery. The color story is another signature: neons and brights that look almost lacquered in sunlight. This is swimwear that behaves like fashion; it’s designed to style like a body-conscious top, to pair with linen trousers, or to peek out from under a sheer dress at golden hour. In short: it’s not trying to be timeless. It’s trying to be unforgettable—and it succeeds.
4) Is Reina Olga sustainable?
Reina Olga frequently uses modern performance materials, including recycled polyamide in select styles—an important step in a category that historically relied on virgin synthetics. Recycled polyamide (often sourced from regenerated nylon waste) is prized because it can still deliver the key swimwear requirements: strong elasticity, shape retention, and a smooth, second-skin feel. Sustainability in swimwear is also about longevity, and Reina Olga’s best pieces are built to keep their silhouette: clean finishing, resilient stretch, and color that’s designed to stay vivid. For shoppers prioritizing conscious fabrication, look for product descriptions that specify recycled fibers within the Reina Olga collection.
5) How should Reina Olga bikinis and one-pieces fit?
Think “snug, smooth, and lifted”—not loose. A Reina Olga suit should sit close to the body so the lines remain graphic: the leg opening stays high, the cut-out stays placed, and the bust feels supported by tension and strap architecture. In bikini tops, the right fit means no gaping at the neckline and straps that lie flat without digging. In bottoms, you want a clean, even tension across the hips—no rolling at the waistband, no pinching at the seams. Because many styles are intentionally cheeky, comfort comes from correct sizing and proper placement: pull the suit up to the intended high-leg position and let the silhouette do its work.
6) What are Reina Olga’s signature styles?
The brand is best known for neon solids, high-cut silhouettes, and cut-outs that feel more couture than cabana. One-pieces often double as bodysuits—sleek enough to wear under an open shirt, strong enough to anchor a full beach-to-bar look. Bikini sets tend to be minimal and leg-lengthening, built for that clean, editorial line from hip to waist. Reina Olga also plays with unexpected geometry—strategic negative space, asymmetry, and strap placements that frame the body like architecture. If you’re shopping the icons, start with a neon one-piece for maximum impact, then add a matching bikini set to rotate through the season.
7) Can I wear Reina Olga swimwear as ready-to-wear?
Yes—and that’s the point. Reina Olga suits are designed with such clean minimalism that they read like fashion tops and bodysuits. A cut-out one-piece becomes a statement under a white linen shirt, a slip skirt, or tailored shorts; a neon bikini top works like a bralette beneath a sheer blouse or an unbuttoned cotton poplin. The key is balance: if the suit is micro, pair it with something generous—wide-leg trousers, a long wrap skirt, or oversized shirting. Add jewelry (gold hoops, a corded pendant), and suddenly it’s less “beachwear” and more “summer look.” For the strongest styling options, browse silhouettes in the Reina Olga collection.
8) How do I care for Reina Olga swimwear to keep it looking new?
Swim fabric is a high-performance knit, and it rewards gentle treatment. Rinse immediately after swimming—especially after saltwater or chlorine—using cool water to remove residue that can dull color and weaken elasticity. Hand wash with a mild detergent; avoid harsh soaps and never wring the fabric (twisting stresses the fibers and distorts the silhouette). Lay flat to dry in shade; direct sun can fade neons over time, even when the fabric is high quality. Skip tumble dryers and avoid rough surfaces like stone pool edges that can snag. Treat it like lingerie, not sportswear: minimal friction, minimal heat, maximum longevity.
9) Where can I buy authentic Reina Olga?
Authenticity matters—especially with cult swimwear that’s easy to imitate but hard to replicate in fit and fabric. The safest route is to purchase through trusted retailers that source directly from the brand and stand behind what they sell. At Aumifour, you’ll find a curated edit with the brand’s signature colors and cuts—pieces chosen for wearability, impact, and the kind of fit that looks intentional rather than accidental. Shop with confidence and explore what’s new in the official retail selection via the Reina Olga collection.
STYLING & CARE GUIDE
Fashion editors style Reina Olga the way they style a statement heel: as the exclamation point, never the whole sentence. Pair neon swim with optic white—linen trousers, a crisp shirt, or a cotton pareo tied low on the hip. For evening, treat a cut-out one-piece like a bodysuit: add a silk skirt, flat leather sandals, and a glossy lip. Keep accessories intentional—gold jewelry, sculptural sunglasses, and a bag that looks like it has a passport.
Care is your quiet luxury: rinse in cool water after every swim, hand wash gently, dry flat in shade, and avoid hot tubs (heat plus chemicals is a fast track to tired elastics). If you’re buying an investment piece, choose a signature neon one-piece and one matching bikini set—two silhouettes that cover every summer invitation, from boat deck to beach club.
THE CLOSE
Reina Olga is for the woman who packs light but refuses to arrive quietly. The cuts are decisive, the color is joyful, and the craftsmanship—clean seams, resilient stretch, and that Italian precision—keeps the look polished long after the first dip. Aumifour curates the brand the way a stylist builds a suitcase: only the pieces with the best lines, the most flattering fits, and the strongest wear-again potential.
