Frankies Bikinis Sweaters & Knits — Official Collection

The Layer That Lives Between the Beach and Everything Else

California doesn’t actually stay warm all day. Anyone who’s spent a summer in Malibu knows: the mornings are cool, the evenings get cold fast, and the midday sun that made you feel like you’d never need more than a bikini disappears suddenly enough to leave you underdressed. The Frankies Bikinis sweaters & knits collection was designed for those transitions — the layer that goes over your swimwear or under your jacket, that makes the whole day work without requiring outfit changes.

Fourteen styles across zip-up hoodies, ponchos, boat neck shirts, knit pants, skirts, and shorts — all in knit constructions that provide real warmth while maintaining the visual lightness that heavy knitwear frequently sacrifices. These are pieces that photograph as well as they function, which for a brand built on visual storytelling is never an accident.

Key Knit Pieces

The Heritage Knit Zip Up Hoodie is the anchor piece in the sweaters & knits range — the most versatile item in the collection and the most natural starting point if you’re building a Frankies knit wardrobe for the first time. It pairs with the Atlas Knit Mini Skirt for a complete co-ord, works over any Frankies bikini as a beach-to-street layer, and functions equally well as a standalone piece with jeans or straight-leg trousers in non-beach contexts.

The Scout Knit Poncho is the most relaxed piece in the range — the easiest throw-on coverup in the collection and the style that most directly references Malibu’s beach culture. The Montecito Boat Neck Knit Shirt is the most refined — a knit top that reads as fashion-forward casualwear rather than beach-adjacent loungewear.
