What a French cut is

The French cut is the classic high waist read of the vintage family — the high waistband, the straighter bottom line and the retro cup on top, the silhouette that came back as the vintage high waist. It is a style family, not a fixed measurement.

The pool holds 2 styles right now, about $27 to $46 — the high waisted puff sleeve tie front and the high waisted short puff sleeve self tie. It is a small, honest pool, and the edit tracks the classic line as those styles land.

Styling the French cut

The high waist is the statement of the cut — keep the neckline simple and the line reads as the design
For the puff sleeve builds, the sleeve carries the shoulder and the waist line holds the outfit
Off the beach, the French cut high waist sits under a button shirt without folding
Pair the classic line with the neutral cover up and the set reads as the vintage statement

Caring for French cut swimwear

Rinse after the water; the high waist band holds more water and dries slower
Dry flat with the waistband open; the classic line creases if bunched
Work the rinse through the puff sleeve gathers; the pleats hold salt first
Check the tie front and the self tie points after each wash; the knot takes the tension load

Frequently asked questions

Is the French cut the same as the high waist?

The French cut is the classic read of the high waist family — the high waistband with the straighter bottom line and the retro cup. The high waist edit in the store carries the wider family; this edit tracks the classic line.

How many French cut styles are here?

2 styles, about $27 to $46 — the puff sleeve tie front and the short puff sleeve self tie.

Will the pool grow?

The edit tracks the classic French cut line — the pool grows as new styles land on that construction. Right now it is the honest two style pool.

Does the tie front adjust the fit?

Yes — the tie at the front is the adjustment point of that build, and the self tie version adjusts at the back. The knot tension is the fit, tied at your own preference.
