Protecting the Drape & Finish

To keep the matte Lycra looking new, I always hand-wash in cold water with a gentle, chlorine-free detergent. Never wring it—lay flat on a towel to dry, away from direct sunlight. This preserves the fabric’s structure and prevents sagging. I also recommend rotating between two swimsuits during a trip so each gets a day to rest and recover its shape.

When packing, roll the suit in a silk pouch to prevent snagging on zippers. In your capsule wardrobe, this piece is the workhorse—it pairs with everything from denim cutoffs to tailored trousers. With proper care, this suit will last for years, becoming a timeless staple in your summer rotation. Trust me, I’ve had clients bring theirs back for a second season.
