Fit and Sizing
Elou knit swimwear is designed to be form-hugging and exceptionally stretchy, offering a flexible fit that moves with your body while retaining its shape in and out of water.
Refer to the Elou size guide on each product page for detailed measurements and fit notes. If you are between sizes or unsure, the recommended fit guidance will help you decide based on your preferred level of coverage and support.
Elou pieces are crafted from innovative bio-nylon that offers high stretch while maintaining recovery, so the garments contour to your body without losing their shape when worn and washed according to care instructions.
Care and Sustainability
To extend the life of your swimwear, gently rinse after each wear, hand wash in cool water with mild detergent, and dry flat in the shade. Avoid wringing, tumble drying, or prolonged contact with rough surfaces and high-chlorine environments.
Sustainability is central to Elou’s philosophy. The brand uses bio-based, marine-biodegradable yarns, circular production methods, and responsible resource use to reduce environmental impact while maintaining luxury-level quality and comfort.
With proper care, Elou swimwear is designed to remain smooth, supportive, and vibrant over time. The bio-nylon knit is highly durable, maintaining both stretch and structure season after season.
