Leslie Amon Under $100: Sun-Soaked Swimwear Worth Every Cent
Leslie Amon has quietly built one of Australia's most covetable swim and resort labels — known for hand-finished crochet trims, considered colour palettes, and silhouettes that feel effortless rather than engineered. The brand sits at that rare intersection of genuine craftsmanship and wearability, which is exactly why its pieces translate so well from a beach in Byron Bay to a rooftop cocktail hour in Mykonos.
What makes this edit particularly worth your attention: every piece sits under $100. Not off-season remnants or compromised basics — these are signature Leslie Amon pieces, in current colourways, at a price point that rarely exists for this level of finish. At Lola Dré, we've pulled together the best of the label's sub-$100 offering so you can build a complete resort wardrobe without the mental gymnastics of justifying a splurge.
The Sun Triangle Gold Halter Bikini Top is the kind of piece that photographs beautifully but is designed first for how it feels. The warm gold tone reads as a neutral against tanned skin, and the halter tie allows for adjustable support — a practical detail that gets overlooked in favour of aesthetics far too often. Pair it with the matching Sun Triangle Gold Side Tie Bikini Bottom for a cohesive set, or mix with a printed bottom if you prefer to play with contrast. At $60 each, building a curated swim wardrobe around these pieces is genuinely within reach.
The Garis Burgundy Crochet set is where Leslie Amon's signature handcraft really shows. The crochet trim is applied at the edges — not printed on, not machine-replicated — giving each piece a tactile finish that holds up to scrutiny up close. Deep burgundy is a confident swim colour choice: it works against a range of skin tones and avoids the sea of blush and white that dominates resort season. Worn together, the set has a considered, editorial quality; styled separately, each piece integrates easily into an existing swim wardrobe.
For those looking beyond the pool, the Margot Off Shoulder Velvet Mini Dress in burgundy is a reminder that Leslie Amon's range extends well past the waterline. The off-shoulder neckline in stretch velvet is designed to sit and stay — no constant adjusting — and the mini length makes it versatile enough for a dinner reservation or a late-night event. At $60, it's the kind of piece that works harder than its price suggests.
The Polly Hibiscus set rounds out the edit with a bolder print direction. The hibiscus pattern is rendered in a warm, saturated palette — the kind that reads as intentional rather than busy — and the crochet trim echoes the label's signature handcraft in a strapless format. The strapless cut is particularly well-suited to a sun lounger or a beach walk where halter ties can feel cumbersome. Worn as a set, the Polly pieces have a complete, ready-to-wear quality that means less time fussing and more time in the water.
This is the kind of edit that Lola Dré does particularly well — curating pieces that deliver on craft and design at a price point that doesn't demand compromise. Leslie Amon has always understood that resort dressing should feel considered without being precious about it, and this collection is proof that the most wearable pieces are often the ones that get worn the most.
