Behind the Seams: How We Designed Our Signature Swim Briefs
At Mañozzo, our mission is simple: elevate men’s swimwear from something functional to something unforgettable. Swim briefs shouldn’t just be about utility—they should fit well, feel luxurious, and turn heads. In this post, we’re inviting you into our design studio to explore how we created our signature line of designer swim briefs for men.
Whether you’re lounging poolside or heading to a beach party, our swim briefs are designed to support your lifestyle and your confidence—boldly and unapologetically.
It All Starts With the Fit
We began our design process by asking one key question: What makes the perfect swim brief?
For us, the answer was all about fit and function. A flattering cut should accentuate the body without squeezing or restricting. We tested various silhouettes until we landed on a low-rise design that elongates the torso, enhances natural lines, and offers the right amount of cheeky coverage.
Instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all model, we made our cuts gender-aware and body-conscious. Every sample went through multiple rounds of adjustments on different body types to make sure they worked across the spectrum of real men—not just fit models.
When you pull on a pair of Mañozzo briefs, you’ll feel the difference: tailored support, sculpted precision, and movement that feels effortless.
Choosing the Right Fabric: Luxury Meets Performance
High-end men’s swimwear demands more than just good looks—it needs to perform. That’s why we carefully selected premium fabrics that offer four-way stretch, breathability, and resistance to salt, chlorine, and sun exposure.
Each pair of swim briefs features:
A buttery-smooth outer shell
Full lining to prevent transparency
Fade-resistant dyes
Moisture-wicking comfort
This is not your average spandex. Our fabrics are designed for movement—whether you’re swimming laps, stretching on a lounge chair, or dancing at a rooftop pool party. Every thread is chosen to keep up with your energy and style.
Prints With Personality
At Mañozzo, print design is more than decoration—it’s expression. Our prints are bold, sexy, and a little playful, capturing the energy of our brand and the personality of the Mañozzo man.
Before printing, each pattern goes through digital testing using AI-enhanced software. We adjust scale, contrast, and placement to complement the contours of the body and the brief’s silhouette. Placement matters: a print should enhance the male form, not distort it.
Every season, we draw inspiration from art, nightlife, vintage fashion, and global street culture to develop new prints that feel current but timeless. The result? A wearable statement piece that fits like a second skin and speaks volumes without saying a word.
Prototyping & Testing: From Sketch to Surf
Once we had our cut and fabric locked in, we moved to prototyping. This is where fashion becomes function.
Each swim brief was sewn by hand in small batches. We reviewed everything from stitching tension to drawstring placement. Then, we put them to the test:
Ocean swims
Pool workouts
Beach walks
Heat endurance tests
We didn’t stop until every pair passed the "real-world test" with flying colors. No sagging, no stretching out, no slipping. Just confidence, no matter the activity.
Designed by Men, for Men
Mañozzo was created by us—Devin and Raul—as a brand that reflects who we are and what we couldn’t find in the market: sexy, functional, high-quality swimwear for men with personality and purpose.
We’re not a massive factory churning out generic pieces. We’re two creatives who believe that men’s fashion should be bold, fitted, and fun—without sacrificing craftsmanship.
Each piece we release is a labor of love, designed with intention and produced in close collaboration with partners who share our vision of quality and integrity.
