How to care for your swim trunks?
To keep your swim trunks in shape and last longer, you need to follow a few simple care rules. Firstly, wash them only in cold water with a mild detergent. This will help to avoid damage to the fabrics and maintain elasticity. It is important to avoid washing with laundry conditioners and bleaches. Such products can break down the fibers of the fabric and cause color loss.
After washing, swimwear should be gently wrung out and hung to dry in the shade, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperatures. It is not recommended to use drying machines or heating devices, as they can cause deformation of the material.
Swimwear continues to be an important element of the summer closet. Designers offer a variety of styles and models. From classic boxers to modern hips, everyone can find their perfect swimwear for summer.
