Speedo and BEAMS Launch 2026 Summer Collection with Water-Ripple Pattern

Speedo and BEAMS are releasing their annual Spring/Summer collaborative capsule on July 11, 2026, featuring a new design inspired by the visual of rippling water. This year's collection includes four items: amphibious swim shorts, a rash guard T-shirt, a cap with a detachable sun visor, and a new UV-protective arm cover. All pieces are constructed with water-repellent and stretchable materials, designed for versatility between water and land activities.

The collection's signature element is a newly developed grid pattern that mimics the movement of water. This pattern is applied across all items, blending Speedo's technical swimwear expertise with BEAMS' fashion-forward aesthetic. The swim shorts are designed as the most adaptable piece, suitable for both swimming and casual wear. The rash guard T-shirt incorporates a prominent Speedo logo on the back, referencing the brand's athletic roots, and offers a lightweight, quick-drying layer.

The cap in the collection is equipped with a detachable sun visor and features water-repellent and UV-cut properties to provide enhanced sun protection. The introduction of the arm cover marks an expansion of the capsule's sun-protective offerings beyond headwear. This addition suggests a strategic broadening of the Speedo x BEAMS partnership, which has previously included items such as waterproof roll-top bags and micro-chamois towels, indicating a growing range of functional and stylish apparel for summer activities.
