Jim Thompson Debuts First Venture into Men’s Swimwear with Groundbreaking AQUASILK® Collection
Jim Thompson launches its first men’s swimwear collection integrating silk into swimming shorts with its new AQUASILK® fabric technology. The collection reinvents resort wear with an innovative blend of distinctive design and lifestyle functionality.
Jim Thompson introduces the groundbreaking AQUASILK® Collection, redefining men’s swimwear with an innovation in fabric technology. Renowned for beautiful silks and “Beyond Silk”, the Jim Thompson AQUASILK® swimwear collection is a meticulously crafted resort wear range that represents a significant advancement in men’s swim shorts, combining design and comfort with functional versatility to meet the contemporary man’s lifestyle needs.
The AQUASILK® Collection introduces an entirely new approach to swimwear with a high-performance blend of 58% nylon and 42% silk. This groundbreaking fabric is engineered to deliver the durability and quick-dry functionality of nylon combined with the superior softness and sheen of silk. Featuring an integrated inner cooling mesh and quick-dry fabric, the material ensures all-day comfort both in and out of the water.
Be Inthavong, Creative Director of Jim Thompson, said, “The AQUASILK® Collection is tailored for men who embrace both resort wear and lifestyle fashion. Our unique AQUASILK® fabric is designed for effortless transition from swimwear to casual wear. From the beach to brunch or even a night out, the collection offers a stylish, laid-back vibe without compromising on comfort or quality.”
The AQUASILK® Collection comes in a range of distinctive solid hue colors in navy and orange complete with a distinctive embroidered elephant motif, and patterned prints with the Japanese origami-inspired Star Shadow, presenting a sophisticated yet playful take on resort fashion, all incorporating a subtle Jim Thompson logo.
With its timeless silhouettes and versatile designs, the collection is specifically crafted to suit a variety of body types, with hip to waist down lines creating a comfortable streamlined fit. The swimwear is presented with meticulous design features including an elastic waistband with concealed drawstring to ensure a secure, adjustable fit, and snap-closure side pockets for holding those essential items around the resort. Each pair of swim shorts comes with a designed swim bag, bringing both style and function from the beach to the clubhouse.
The carefully curated and versatile swimwear range can be worn with a variety of leisure wear and design tops for a laid-back lifestyle look or casual evening style. Included in the collection is the Stripe Cotton Tank Top, available in green and orange hues. Designed for ultimate comfort with relaxed silhouette and curved arm edges, these breathable 100% cotton tops are perfectly matched with the shorts, completing the ultimate beach-ready look.
For this exclusive collection Jim Thompson has partnered with Seven Clean Seas, a global organization dedicated to reducing ocean pollution. With every AQUASILK® purchase, 10% of sale will go towards supporting initiatives to eliminate ocean plastic pollution. Each AQUASILK® swim trunk sold removes 6.67 kg of plastic from the ocean, equal to recycling 440 plastic bottles. Embrace craftsmanship and environmental responsibility with every AQUASILK® purchase.
