Versace Swimwear: Swimsuits, Bikinis and How They Fit

Versace swimwear is built on the same codes as the rest of the house: the Greca key border, Medusa hardware and the Barocco print, cut in a stretch nylon blend. Coveti carries 29 Versace swim pieces, 12 one-piece swimsuits and 17 bikini tops and bottoms, sized UK 6 to UK 14. Shop the full Versace collection, browse all designer swimwear and beachwear and read the Versace prints guide for the stories behind the patterns.

• Coveti stocks 29 Versace swim pieces: 12 one-pieces and 17 bikini tops and bottoms.
• The outer fabric on almost every piece is 78% nylon and 22% elastane, fully lined.
• The recurring house codes are the Greca border, Medusa hardware, Versace logo embroidery and prints such as Barocco and Broken Jewels.
• Versace sizes its swimwear 1 to 5. Size 1 is a UK 6 and size 5 is a UK 14, and Coveti lists each piece in UK sizes.
• Bikini tops and bottoms are sold separately, so you can take a different size top and bottom.

What makes Versace swimwear different?

Versace swimwear looks like Versace from across a pool. The jacquard pieces weave the Greca key border and a Medusa motif into the fabric itself rather than printing it on. The plain pieces lean on hardware: a gold-tone Medusa at the neckline, the hip and the strap. The line treats a swimsuit as something to wear to lunch, not only into the sea. For the history of the house codes, read who was Gianni Versace and the meaning of the Medusa logo.

Which Versace one-piece swimsuit should you buy?

Start with the neckline you like best, then pick the code.

For a first Versace swimsuit, the black jacquard square-neck is the one we would choose: the Greca reads as Versace without any gold, and black works on every beach. The white scoop-neck with Medusa hardware is the more glamorous option for a hotel pool.

Which Versace bikini should you buy?

Versace bikinis are sold as separate tops and bottoms, which helps if you are a different size on top. The Barocco bikini, with self-tie strings, is the most recognisable piece in the edit and the one most people mean when they search for a Versace bikini. The Greca jacquard bikini in black has a square-neck top and an elastic waistband, and there is a one-shoulder top in the same fabric. For colour, the Greca bikini comes in lilac and yellow with embroidered-logo bottoms, and The Sun print bikini comes in yellow and pink. The High Waist Bikini Bottoms in black, with the Greca border and a Medusa motif, give more coverage.

How does Versace swimwear fit?

Versace sizes swimwear 1 to 5 rather than in Italian clothing sizes.

The nylon and elastane blend has a firm stretch, so take your usual size. If you are between sizes in a one-piece, size up for length in the body. Cup-sized swimwear is not part of our Versace edit. For clothing and shoe conversions, see the Versace size guide.

How do you care for Versace swimwear?

Rinse each piece in cool fresh water as soon as you can after the sea and the pool, then hand wash it with a mild detergent and dry it flat in the shade. Chlorine, sun cream and heat are what wear out elastane, so keep the swimsuit off hot stones and out of the dryer. Medusa hardware is easiest to keep bright if you pat it dry after rinsing.

What should you wear with Versace swimwear?

Keep the rest of the look in the same family. A Versace silk scarf tied as a sarong, a pair of Versace rubber slides and Versace sunglasses finish the look from pool to lunch. Browse beach dresses for cover-ups, and read the Versace sunglasses guide and the Versace shoes guide for the accessories.

Almost every Versace swim piece at Coveti has an outer of 78% nylon and 22% elastane, and every piece is lined.

Can you buy a Versace bikini top and bottom separately?

Yes. Versace sells bikini tops and bottoms as separate pieces, so you can choose a different size for each.

Does Versace make a Barocco swimsuit?
