Many other details bear witness to the House’s expertise, such as the eyelets. Positioned at the back of our men’s swimwear, they allow water to drain away and reduce the “ballooning” effect, offering unrivalled comfort. And because days by the sea can be energetic, each of our men’s swimsuits is fitted with a drawstring. Hand-assembled inside the waistband, it ensures optimal support both in the water and on the beach. All these elements underscore one certainty: craftsmanship has always been an essential part of Vilebrequin’s vocabulary. While firmly rooted in the present, the Maison always looks to the future, creating high-quality luxury swimwear designed to last through the summers. Pieces made to be loved, worn, repaired and passed down from one generation to the next.

Complicity, generosity, whimsy, elegance and luxury resonate through every piece of the Vilebrequin menswear wardrobe—particularly in classics such as the Moorea men’s swimsuit. Inspired by African cotton swimwear with “boubou”-style prints, the Moorea men’s swimsuit was born in the 1970s under the blue skies of Saint-Tropez. Driven by his desire to create exceptional swimwear, founder Fred Prysquel devised a unique cut that redefined the art of holiday dressing. Named after the eponymous island in French Polynesia, the Moorea evokes luxury, sun and freedom—three concepts that would later become the official motto of the House of Vilebrequin.
Echoing the style of Californian surfers of the era, the Moorea men’s swimsuit combines chic appeal with comfort. With its medium coverage, it is a summer essential. More fitted in silhouette, the Merise men’s swimsuits are also among the House’s signature styles. Short in length with a flat waistband, they are prized for their elegance and retro allure. Technical and stretch, they offer excellent freedom of movement, accompanying athletes of all levels in their pursuits.

While our Merise and Moorea men’s swimsuits stand perfectly on their own, they pair effortlessly with a lightweight linen shirt, a polo or a matching UV-protective T-shirt for a modern, summery look.
Inspired by the Mediterranean and the depths of the sea, turtles, graphic fish and sunlit waves adorn many of our men’s swimsuits and appear across our ready-to-wear collections, extending the Vilebrequin spirit beyond the beach. The more daring can combine their men’s swim shorts with other patterned pieces from the Maison to create a harmonious summer ensemble that is both chic and relaxed. Expressive, colourful and imbued with joie de vivre, these unique prints bring a touch of fantasy to sun-filled days.
