What makes Vilebrequin's printed swim shorts so distinctive?


The exclusivity begins with the design process: every motif is conceived in-house and produced nowhere else. The palette is always vivid, with colours that hold their intensity wash after wash, thanks to Oeko-Tex certified dyes and a manufacturing process that runs to dozens of steps per pair.

Beyond the standard printed finish, the collection encompasses several distinct techniques:

Flocked styles: add a raised, tactile texture to the motif, giving each design a three-dimensional quality;
Water-reactive styles: reveal their pattern only on contact with water, a detail that never fails to attract attention at the water's edge;
Jacquard weaves: integrate the pattern directly into the fabric structure itself, for a more understated, refined result.



Which fits are available in printed swim shorts?


Printed designs span the full range of Vilebrequin silhouettes, so the choice of cut is entirely personal.

The Moorea: the Maison's original mid-length classic, is the most iconic option: generous, comfortable and immediately recognisable;
The Mahina: is the ultra-light, packable style, folding neatly into its own rear pocket for effortless travel;
Stretch styles: offer a closer, more contemporary fit with complete freedom of movement;
Long-cut styles: extend the silhouette for those who prefer more coverage;
The Merise: with its flat belt, brings a tailored, retro-inspired feel to the printed swim short.

Many designs are also available in matching father-and-son versions, a concept that has been central to the Maison since 1994.



How do I choose the right printed swim shorts?


The print itself is a matter of personality. The turtle motifs, available in many iterations across the collection, are a natural starting point for those drawn to the Maison's heritage. Artistic collaborations bring a more singular dimension, with designs that blend the Vilebrequin seaside universe with contemporary creative influences.

On fit: the Moorea suits those who value ease and a relaxed silhouette, while the Mahina is the natural choice for those who travel light. Stretch styles work well for anyone moving between swimming and activity. Whichever pair you choose, the Maison's repair service means they can be restored and enjoyed across many summers to come.
