Statement-making swim short for beach and pool days
This Versace swim short is made for sunny days at the beach or pool, where the brand's iconic Medusa logo framed by the Greek key motif makes a statement. It pairs that design with a flawless fit, featherlight quick-dry polyester, and an elastic waistband with a contrasting signature logo.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Greca Waistband Swim Short: Choose this if you want a statement swim short for the beach or pool with visible designer branding, featuring a gold Greek-key patterned elastic waistband with a central gold medallion. It has quick-dry 100% polyester fabric, built-in mesh lining, slant pockets, small side vents, and a short inseam of about 3.25 inches (8 cm), in black or royal/sapphire blue. Note that no external drawstring is visible in the product images, so the elastic waistband does the fitting, and the very short leg length suits those who prefer a minimal-cut silhouette.[1,2,3] | Greca Waistband Swim Brief: Choose this if you want a statement swim brief with the label's iconic Medusa logo framed by a Greek key motif on a gold-patterned elastic waistband. It offers a flawless fit and featherlight feel, per the retailer, in a stretch ECONYL recycled nylon blend (78% recycled nylon, 22% spandex) with an acanthus leaf print on the interior lining, a smooth contoured front pouch, and a small storage pouch included; it is made in Italy. Note that it is a low-rise, minimal-coverage brief cut shown in black, sized X-SMALL to X-LARGE only.[4,5,6] | Barocco Elastic Waistband Swim Brief: Choose this if you want a bold, statement swim brief in Versace's opulent style, with a low-rise, narrow-cut silhouette, high leg openings, and a yellow-gold baroque print on black fabric. It's made in Italy from quick-dry recycled polyester with elastane, featuring an elastic waistband with drawcord (though the drawstring appears decorative per image analysis) and a small storage pouch included. Note that the rear coverage is narrow, so it suits those comfortable with a skimpy brief cut.[7,8,9] |
