Materials Guide: What Makes Quality Swimwear?

🧪 Premium Materials to Look For:

  • Quick-Dry Nylon: The gold standard for premium swimwear. Dries 3x faster than regular materials, lightweight, and maintains shape after many wears.
  • Polyester Blends: Durable and chlorine-resistant. Perfect for pool use and frequent swimming. Retains color excellently.
  • Spandex/Elastane (4-18%): Provides stretch and comfort. Higher percentages offer more flexibility but may reduce durability.

⚠️ Materials to Avoid:

100% Cotton: Takes forever to dry, becomes heavy when wet, loses shape quickly

Cheap Polyester: Fades in sun, uncomfortable texture, poor durability

The Perfect Fit: How Swim Trunks Should Look

✅ Perfect Fit Checklist:

  • Waistband sits comfortably at your natural waist
  • No excessive bunching or pulling when you move
  • Inseam hits mid-thigh for classic trunks
  • Room to move without being baggy
  • Drawstring allows for fine-tuning

❌ Signs of Poor Fit:

  • Waistband digs in or rolls down
  • Fabric bunches up when you sit
  • Too tight in the thigh area
  • Excessive length that looks sloppy
  • Loose enough to slip down when wet

💡 Pro Tip: Always check the size guide and consider that swimwear should fit snugger when dry since it may stretch slightly when wet.
