Max Mara HighRise Culotte Bikini Bottom

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Max Mara HighRise Culotte Bikini Bottom channels the heritage of Italian swimwear—elevated, sensual, and quietly refined. Cut from a smooth nylon jersey, the seamless construction lends a sculpted yet featherlight feel, hugging curves without any trace of restriction or fuss. The matte finish and clean lines evoke an understated sophistication that’s pure Max Mara, while the coverage and tailored silhouette nod to vintage silhouettes through a modern lens.

High-rise and softly contoured, this bikini bottom sits comfortably at the waist with a sleek culotte shape, offering that elusive blend of support and ease. The stretch fabric flexes and moves with the body, whether you’re posted poolside or stealing a morning swim. With UPF 50+ coverage and a quick-dry, moisture-wicking construction, it transitions naturally from the water to a café patio, layering effortlessly under a pareo or an oversized linen shirt for low-key aperitivo hours. Everything you want held stays secure, but the lines remain clean—no awkward seams, no dig.

True to Max Mara’s legacy, this piece doesn’t chase trends; it reimagines Riviera glamour through timeless essentials. Pair it with a sharply tailored blazer or a silk kaftan and tortoiseshell frames for a mood that’s studied but never obvious—the kind of poolside polish that reads international, not just Instagrammable.
