Swimwear goes traditional. What is the new black watch pattern that Speedo and Beams are creating?

Summer may seem like a long time, but the time when you can play in the ocean or river is surprisingly short. That is why it is important to decide on swimwear as early as possible.

If you haven't already, check out the collections by Speedo and BEAMS, both from Australia. The two brands have taken an unexpected twist by incorporating a black watch pattern into sportswear.

T-shirt ¥12,000

Swim shorts ¥18,150

Cap ¥8,800

The Black Watch pattern is also incorporated into the in-line classic T-shirts, amphibious swim shorts, and caps with removable sun shades. This design can be worn on any occasion, regardless of location.

Waterproof roll top bag ¥7,920

This 2-way roll-top bag is new this season. It has a water-repellent finish and waterproof seam tape, making it a convenient item for storing clothes wet with sweat or water.

Micro chamois towel ¥2,970

Don't forget towels, a necessity at the beach or by the pool. They are so absorbent that they can be wrung out after getting wet on the beach.

This collection focuses on traditional fashion, which is becoming freer in a good sense of the word. Because the two designers understand each other, they are able to create items with a new approach without any sense of incongruity. The collection will go on sale this weekend, July 12 (Sat.).
