These Tropeziennes Swimsuits Are All the Rage for Stylish Kids from One to 92.
Waterfront: Like Father, Like Son

Spotted on notables from Hugh Grant to princes William and Harry of Wales, Vilebrequin swim trunks have become the latest fashion for beachgoers in the know. Sipping pastis quayside, powering your Jet Ski around the bay or lounging on the sun deck are all perfect activities for sporting these jazzy shorts, which come in matching sizes and styles for fathers and sons (and incidentally are wonderful when distinguishing your little one from others at the beach or pool). Born out of Saint-Tropez in the 1970s, these suits were originally manufactured out of fast-drying spinnaker canvas. In no time at all, the swimwear’s boxer-short aesthetic took the French Riviera by storm, and 30 years later it has become a recognizable international icon. The trunks are now also available on five continents. As with all fine and luxurious fashion lines, each season a new line is conceived, so when you see a print you’re partial to, don’t hesitate to purchase it on the spot.
