WHAT ARE WATER-REACTIVE SWIM TRUNKS?

Some surprises only appear when they meet water. Capture that magical moment with Vilebrequin’s water reactive swim trunks: dry, they display a discreet shade. Once wet, unexpected patterns emerge. Every splash becomes a signature of style.

HOW DO WATER-REACTIVE SWIM SHORTS DIFFER FROM CLASSIC DESIGNS?

A classic pair of swim trunks looks the same whether dry or wet. Water reactive swim trunks, however, transform. Their secret lies in a technical fabric that reacts to water, revealing intricate designs and patterns that fade as they dry. Crafted with the same care as Vilebrequin’s luxury swim shorts, they perform effortlessly both in the water and on the sand, while adding an element of surprise to every swim.

Shades shift, details animate: a subtle yet striking spectacle, designed to charm as much as to delight. This transformation never compromises comfort. Vilebrequin’s men’s water reactive swim trunks retain all the signature details the Maison is known for: elastic waistband, adjustable drawstring with engraved tips, rear eyelets for water drainage, and a fabric built to withstand the test of time.
