I stopped by Chanel recently to check out a few swimsuits for my upcoming trip to Cancun this December, and honestly — I didn’t expect to fall in love this much with swimwear. Chanel makes even a swimsuit feel like couture.
👙 The Ones I Tried
There were two styles that immediately caught my eye.
1️⃣ Pink & Black Striped One-Piece
-
The color blocking was playful but still classy — very “Chanel at the beach” vibes.
-
The fabric felt thick and supportive, almost like a sculpting bodysuit.
-
It has a subtle sheen under light and the black stripes really balance out the sweetness of the pink.
-
I can totally see this with a big hat and oversized sunglasses by the pool at Nizuc.
2️⃣ Black & White Textured One-Piece with Knotted Front
-
This one felt more timeless.
-
The white base has the embroidered CC monogram all over (so chic in person).
-
The knotted detail in front adds dimension without being too revealing.
-
It hugs your body beautifully — structured yet elegant.
Both pieces felt premium, but the second one has that quiet-luxury feel that screams “old-money resort mood.”
💭 My Thoughts
-
Fit: Chanel swimwear tends to run a bit small — I’d recommend sizing up if you’re between sizes.
-
Fabric: Very luxurious and slightly compressive; feels more like high-end activewear than a regular swimsuit.
-
Price: Definitely a splurge (over USD 1,000+), but it feels like something you’d wear for years, not a single season.
-
Vibe: From a distance, you know it’s Chanel — elegant, understated, confident.
✈️ Final Verdict
If you’re looking for a piece that makes you feel polished even at the pool, this is it.
The pink & black striped one screams “vacation fun,”
while the white & black knotted one is more “resort sophistication.”
I didn’t decide yet which one I’ll bring to Cancun — but either way,
it’ll definitely be a Chanel moment under the Caribbean sun. 🌴
