About Vilebrequin: Riviera Swimwear with French Tailoring
Founded in Saint-Tropez in 1971, Vilebrequin is known for:
-
Luxury men’s swim shorts in classic and modern cuts
-
Matching father-son collections
-
Polos, linen shirts, and tailored resortwear
-
Signature Moorise and Moorea swim trunk styles
-
Premium materials, quick-dry technology, and flat-front tailoring
But with EU/US sizing, limited stretch and varied fits across swimwear styles, choosing the right size is key.
Is Vilebrequin True to Size?
Vilebrequin generally runs true to size—but certain swim shorts (especially fitted styles like the Moorise) can feel slim at the waist and upper thigh. Other items, like polos or linen shirts, are slightly relaxed and beach-ready in cut.
Fit Summary:
-
Moorea swim shorts – relaxed and mid-thigh
-
Moorise swim shorts – slightly slimmer fit
-
T-shirts and polos – true to size
-
Shirts and linenwear – easy, tailored casual fit
-
Kidswear – true to size for age

Why Vilebrequin Sizing Can Be Tricky
-
Swimwear styles vary by name (Moorea, Moorise, Merise)—but it’s not always clear how
-
Fabric is non-stretch, so a slim waist fit feels tighter than expected
-
Lack of size charts or conversions on international retailer sites
-
Shirts and polos may appear oversized on taller models, misleading size expectations
That’s why Tellar.co.uk gives you the only sizing system that’s personalised—using actual garment specs, fabric flexibility, and your shape.
🎁 And yes—when you join Tellar, we send you a free tape measure so you only ever need to measure once.
