Statement Swimwear.
Full Coverage Where It Counts
TEAMM8 has built its name on limited-edition drops and a fit that's unapologetically low-cut and form-fitting since launching in Sydney in 2008. Statement is where that ethos goes swimming.
The Statement Bikini Swim Brief is cut at just 3.5cm on the hip with a low-rise silhouette — full coverage where it counts, maximum confidence everywhere else. Available in Black, Gunmetal and Terracotta.
Small Details, Big Impact
The build is more considered than the cut suggests: an internal self-coloured tie-cord with logo print and a silicone tip for a secure fit, a double-lined pouch for support and coverage, and a silver metal TEAMM8 logo set on the front hip.
"Some swimwear blends in. This one does the opposite."
Built to Hold Its Shape
The main fabric is 75% polyamide and 25% spandex, with a 90% polyester and 10% spandex lining in the double-lined pouch — a stretch construction designed to hold its shape and support through repeated wear, not just look the part on the rail.
Care instructions. Rinse in cool fresh water after every wear, then hand wash cold with a mild detergent — gently squeeze out excess water rather than wringing.
Dry flat in the shade. Avoid bleach and fabric softener, and skip the tumble dryer, iron and dry cleaner entirely — all three will shorten its life fast.
How It Sizes Up
Sizes run S–XL: S fits a 30–32in waist, M 32–34in, L 34–36in and XL 36–38in. The cut is low-rise and body-conscious — if you're between sizes, check the waist measurement against the garment rather than your usual underwear size, since TEAMM8's swim sizing runs slightly differently to its underwear.
How to Wear It
This is the most minimal cut in the guide, so confidence is the accessory — wear it exactly as it comes rather than layering anything over the top. Black is the easiest of the three to wear anywhere; Gunmetal reads more directional; Terracotta is the warmest against tanned skin.
Given the coverage, it pairs best with simple, unfussy poolside pieces — an open shirt or a plain towel rather than anything busy competing for attention.
Statement Micro
TEAMM8's first-ever sports-brief-cut swimwear is landing shortly — a super-thin 13mm waistband with daring side cut-outs, in Terracotta and Gunmetal. Keep an eye on the range for when it lands.
