Karla Colletto Leopard-print draped swimsuit

Karla Colletto redefines resort wear with swimwear that blends architectural form with modern elegance. This one-piece swimsuit showcases the brand's expertise through its considered draping and a classic animal print, creating a flattering and sophisticated silhouette for elegant waterside moments.

The art of the detail

Rendered in warm brown tones, a perennial animal print is mapped across the expertly crafted silhouette. The design features integrated underwired cups for subtle support and shaping. Its fabric, chosen for its smooth feel and flexible quality, allows for exceptional comfort and a precise fit, while intricate ruching gathers at the waist to create definition. This swimsuit is a study in form and function.

How to wear

Style this swimsuit with a flowing white linen shirt for a classic look. Add a pair of simple leather slides and a woven straw tote bag for an afternoon spent at a secluded beach club. For a seamless transition from the coast to an informal lunch, simply add a high-waisted sarong or wide-leg pants. The versatile design ensures you remain poised and elegant, whether lounging by the pool or enjoying a seaside aperitif.
