Bathing Suit FabricsUpdated 2 months ago

Bathing suits require a specific type of fabric that is lightweight, stretchy, and resistant to chlorine and saltwater. Some of the best fabric options for making a bathing suit include:

1. Tricot: Tricot fabrics like our Santorini Light, Santorini Plus, or Mykonos Collections are made for swimwear. They're stretchy, comfortable, chlorine resistant and UV protective, meaning they're meant for swimwear that lasts!

2. Neoprene: Neoprene is composed of a layer of foam or rubber between two pieces of knit fabric. Primarily seen in wetsuits, neoprene is a great choice for structural swimwear as well.

3. Scuba Knits: Scuba knits are similar to neoprene, but lack the rubber or foam center, instead created with a special knit structure that gives them a similar padded feeling. They're usually lighter weight than neoprene, but still a great option for swimsuits and wet suits that require durability and structure.

4. Spandex: Spandex provides the necessary stretch for fitted swimwear. Just make sure the fabric you choose is durable enough to last all summer long!

5. Swim Trunk Fabric: Mood's swim trunk fabric is a non-stretch, woven fabric perfect for men's swim trunks, swim shorts, shirts, cover-ups, and so much more to ensure everyone in the family is ready to make a splash!
