Greca Waistband Swim Short
Versace Greca Waistband Swim Short is a men's swim trunk designed for beach and pool wear, featuring a quick-dry polyester shell, built-in mesh lining, and an elastic waistband with a contrasting Greek-key motif and Medusa medallion.

Reviews note the leg openings are snug, which may restrict movement, so sizing up could be considered for a more comfortable fit.

Product Insights
The Versace Greca Waistband Swim Short, originally 495 CAD (now out of stock), is available at 199.95 CAD—60% off retail and 50% below the lowest international sale. In-house production ensures house-level quality, including a gold metallic silicone Greca print that resists water better than embroidery. Tradeoff: leg openings are tight across sizes, so sizing up loosens the waist. Care requires cold gentle wash and hang drying to protect the pattern and quick-dry fabric. Built-in mesh lining supports active swimming.

QC on Versace Greca border swim shorts: gold color is accurate on this batch
These are really nice! An issue with a lot of reps is they make the color yellow and not golden (like retail is). This one is as gold as it gets. Great rep imo, solid buy
