Product Insights
Simons' Shimmery Striped Balconette is a $39 CAD exclusive swim top with a durable lamé metallic finish that outlasts printed metallics, using 80% nylon for chlorine resistance and a full lining to prevent see-through wetness while maintaining softness from only 5% metallic fiber. It offers customizable fit via adjustable thin straps with back hook (avoiding neck strain), removable foam padding, and is fully lined and padded at one-third the cost of an unlined Victoria's Secret balconette, though requiring hand wash to preserve its fabric and finish.
Verified claims
- Fabric
- A low 5% metallic content, an 80% nylon and 15% elastane shell, and a full polyester-elastane lining keep the fabric soft and flexible against the skin.
- Care
- Hand wash required to preserve fabric softness and metallic finish.
- Opacity
- The full polyester-elastane lining helps prevent the top from becoming see-through when wet and adds shape retention.
- Material
- 80% nylon shell provides chlorine resistance; lamé threads outlast printed finishes.
- Value
- Fully lined and padded at $39 CAD, one-third the cost of unlined VS balconette.
- Strap style
- Adjustable thin straps with back hook, avoiding halter neck strain.
- Exclusive design
- Simons exclusive sunset-stripe lamé pattern, not sold elsewhere.
- Adjustability
- Adjustable thin straps, back hook, and removable foam padding customize fit and support.
- Removable padding
- The removable foam padding can be taken out for a less padded look and less lift, while the full lining helps keep the top opaque when wet.
- Lamé construction
- Wrapped metallic yarn (lamé) yields a deeper, more durable shimmer than generic metallic threads.
- Chlorine resistance
- The nylon-rich shell (80% nylon, 15% elastane) typically offers better chlorine resistance and a softer, more durable hand than polyester swim tops.
