FAE Swim Hailey Bottom - Haze

The Hailey is the most covered bottom FAE makes, and the highest cut. A dramatic leg line engineered to elongate, contrast paneling through the front, and a back that actually covers — the rare combination of a serious high leg with real coverage behind it. Haze is the soft neutral that lets the paneling do the talking.

Fit & Sizing — Measure, Don't Guess

FAE is an Australian label. A FAE Medium is a US 4–6. A Vitamin A Medium is a US 8–10 — same letter, four US sizes apart, on the same website.

• Coverage, honestly: FAE describes the Hailey's back as medium coverage in one place and full coverage in another. Expect something between the two — meaningfully more than the Vada, considerably more than the Jones. It is the most covered bottom in our FAE assortment.
• Between sizes: size UP. FAE's own guidance. No tie adjustment on this style.
• The high cut is the point. It sits well above the hip bone to lengthen the leg — if you want coverage at the upper thigh, this is the wrong cut even though the back covers.
• Upper hip is the measurement that matters on a high-cut style.
• Pairs with: the Jones in matching Haze, or any FAE top.

Sustainability

ECONYL® is a regenerated Italian techno-nylon made entirely from post-consumer waste — ocean-recovered fishing nets, industrial plastic, plastic bottles. Measurably more resistant to chlorine, sunscreen, and body oils than conventional swim fabric.

New with tags. Curated, not manufactured to order.

Care

• Rinse in cold fresh water immediately after every wear.
• Hand wash cold with mild detergent. Never machine wash.
• Press water out gently — do not wring.
• Dry flat in shade. Never a dryer, never direct sun.
• Let sunscreen and body oil absorb fully before dressing.

Who It's For

Anyone who wants a dramatic leg line without a thong back. The best starting point in our FAE range if you find Brazilian cuts too minimal. Anyone building a Haze set with the Jones.

Who It's Not For

Anyone wanting coverage at the upper thigh — the leg line is severe. Anyone needing tie-side adjustment. Anyone above a US 6 in this colorway.
