Vilebrequin men's swimwear: the art of swimwear

Carefully crafted in our workshops, Vilebrequin men's swimwear embodies ancestral exp...ertise: 32 steps are required for their creation, starting with the choice of materials. We have opted for emerised polyamide and polyester because of their elasticity and comfort. These fabrics undergo a specific treatment to give each men's swimsuit a soft touch, an unmatched drape, and quick-drying capabilities. Numerous other details showcase the Maison's expertise, such as the eyelets. Placed at the back of our men's swimwear, these eyelets ensure water evacuation and reduce the “ballooning” effect for unparalleled comfort. And because days by the sea can be active, each of our men's swimsuits features a drawstring. Hand-assembled inside the waistband, it ensures optimal support both in the water and on the beach. These elements affirm one certainty: craftsmanship has always been a cornerstone of Vilebrequin's vocabulary.

Complicity, generosity, fantasy, elegance, luxury—these concepts resonate in every piece of Vilebrequin's men's wardrobe, especially in classics like the Moorea men's swim shorts. Inspired by African cotton “boubou” print swimwear, the Moorea men's swimwear was born in the 70s under the blue sky of Saint-Tropez. Driven by his desire to create exceptional swimwear, the brand’s founder, Fred Prysquel, developed a unique cut that redefined holiday fashion. In reference to the eponymous island in French Polynesia, he named the men's swimwear “Moorea,” evoking luxury, sun, and freedom—three concepts that later became Vilebrequin's official motto. Reminiscent of the Californian surfer style of the time, the Moorea men's swimwear combines chic and comfort: with medium coverage, it’s a summer essential.

More fitted, the Merise men's swimwear is also a standout model from the Maison. These short swim shorts with a flat waistband are appreciated for their elegance and retro style. Technical and stretchy, they offer great freedom of movement and accompany athletes of all levels in their adventures. While they stand out on their own, the Merise men's swim shorts also pair perfectly with a shirt or polo for a modern, summery look.
