FAE Swim Hailey Bottom - Milkshake

Milkshake is the soft neutral that reads as skin from a distance, which is exactly what a dramatic high cut wants. The Hailey is the most covered bottom FAE makes and the highest cut — a leg line engineered to elongate, contrast paneling through the front, and a back that actually covers.

The Details

• Brand: FAE Swim
• Style: Hailey Bottom
• Colorway: Milkshake

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.

• Coverage, honestly: FAE describes the Hailey's back as medium coverage in one place and full coverage in another. Expect something between — meaningfully more than the Vada, considerably more than the Jones.
• Between sizes: size UP. No tie adjustment on this style.
• The high cut is the point. It sits well above the hip bone. If you want coverage at the upper thigh, this is the wrong cut even though the back covers.
• On pale neutrals: lined throughout, so opacity holds when wet.
• Pairs with: the Stevie playsuit in matching Milkshake.

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 — critical on pale colours.
• Hand wash cold with mild detergent. Never machine wash, never bleach.
• Press water out gently — do not wring.
• Dry flat in shade. Direct sun yellows pale swim fabric over time.
• Let sunscreen absorb fully before dressing; it's the leading cause of staining on light swimwear.

Who It's For

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

Who It's Not For

Anyone wanting coverage at the upper thigh. Anyone needing tie-side adjustment. Anyone unwilling to rinse and care properly — pale neutrals are unforgiving.
