About Modus Vivendi Swimwear
What swimwear does Modus Vivendi make?
Modus Vivendi's swimwear spans several distinct lines: the minimal Classic (Super Low Cut) briefs, the performance Watersports line, the playful Gelato ice-cream prints, the nautical Striped Laminated pieces made from recycled yarns, and the subversive Prince Albert line with its signature metal barbell detail. All are low-cut swim briefs, designed and made in Greece.
Where is Modus Vivendi swimwear made?
Greece, and entirely in-house. Modus Vivendi has designed and manufactured in its own Greek factory since 1989, which is rare for a swimwear and underwear brand and central to the quality of the finish.
What is the Modus Vivendi Prince Albert line?
The Prince Albert is Modus Vivendi's boldest swim line: a low-rise bikini brief in a thin, shiny, quick-drying fabric, finished with a circular metal barbell detail that nods to the piercing of the same name. It's subversive, body-conscious swimwear made to be seen.
What is the Modus Vivendi Gelato line?
The Gelato line features all-over ice-cream prints that melt one colour into another for a bold, sun-drenched look. Cut low and body-enhancing in premium quick-drying printed fabric, it's luxury beachwear with a sense of fun. Available in colourways such as Lemon and Strawberry.
Are Modus Vivendi swim briefs suitable for swimming?
Most are: the Classic, Watersports, Gelato and Prince Albert lines use fast-drying fabric built for the pool and beach. The one exception is the Striped Laminated line, whose foil finish is best kept out of chlorinated pools, so treat those as statement beachwear rather than lap briefs.
How should Modus Vivendi swim briefs fit?
They're cut low on the hip for a close, body-conscious fit and generally run true to size across S to XL. The elastane content gives good stretch, so if you're between sizes, size up for a more relaxed fit or down for a tighter one.
How do I care for Modus Vivendi swimwear?
Rinse in cool fresh water straight after swimming to clear chlorine or salt, hand wash gently with a mild detergent, and air dry in the shade. Never tumble dry, bleach or iron the waistband. See our full swimwear care guide for the ten rules that make a pair last.
