Performance Meets Design
Where the Classic line strips things back, Watersports is engineered for it — a low cut swim brief built specifically with time in the water in mind, not just time beside it.
The Watersports Low Cut Swim Brief sits low on the hip with a contoured front pouch for support and shape, finished in bold, editorial colourways designed to stand out in the water rather than blend into it.
Low-Rise, Full Confidence
The waistband sits low with branded elastic, and the contoured front pouch gives shape without adding bulk. It's a minimal-coverage cut designed for freedom of movement, whether you're actually swimming laps or just want to look like you might.
"Performance fabric meets editorial design — a confident choice for the pool, the beach, or wherever the day takes you."
Chlorine-Resistant, Fast-Drying
The brief is built from a fast-drying, chlorine-resistant stretch fabric — designed for a second-skin fit with full recovery, so it holds its shape wear after wear rather than bagging out after a season of pool sessions.
Actually built for the water. Chlorine resistance matters more than most swimwear shoppers realise — it's usually the first thing to go, taking colour and stretch with it.
Rinse in cool water straight after swimming, hand wash with a mild detergent, and air dry in the shade. Avoid the tumble dryer, which is the fastest way to undo the fabric's recovery.
How It Sizes Up
Expect a snug, low-rise fit rather than a relaxed short. Sizes run S–XL: S fits a 28–30in waist, M 31–32in, L 33–34in and XL 35–36in.
The stretch fabric gives some flexibility either way — check the waist measurement against your own rather than assuming your usual underwear size will carry over.
How to Wear It
Yellow is the boldest of the two and reads best against a tan — wear it with nothing else competing for attention. Tan is the more versatile option, working equally well as a stand-alone piece or layered under boardshorts for the walk to the water.
Because this range is built for actual swimming, it's worth pairing with the rest of Modus Vivendi's Watersports-minded pieces — a rash vest or swim cap in a matching tone keeps the look coherent if you're training rather than sunbathing.
