Lycra is a brand name for elastane, a synthetic fabric of polyester and polyurethane. This moisture wicking fabric is the perfect bikini material and is typically produced into a more matte look and finish. While a matte style is more prominent, this material also comes in luxurious shiny and wet-looks. Italian lycra is elastane that is one-hundred percent made in Italy and is oh so luxurious. Its colorfast properties also makes it an excellent fabric choice for brighter colors while creating a richness to neutral color palettes. Elastane is a four-way stretch capacity fabric, which means this material holds its shape very well. It provides you with plenty of movement without stretching out your bikinis, making them too loose for wear. With all these great features, it’s no wonder that soft Italian lycra is all the rage in swimwear right now.
