A Mesh Beach Shirt Built for the Water and Beyond
The Rip Curl Hidden Isles Mesh Swim Tee is a cropped, loose-fit swim tee that moves as easily between the ocean and the boardwalk as it does between beach days and casual outings. Made from a stretch recycled polyamide mesh, it layers over a bikini without clinging or overheating, and the breathable open-weave construction lets air circulate while the fabric retains just enough coverage to make it genuinely versatile.
What sets this mesh bikini shirt apart is the design detail: gathered ruching at the sides creates a subtle sculpted silhouette, and the functional side tie lets you draw in the fit or leave it relaxed depending on the moment. The placement print runs across the body, the metal Rip Curl logo trim adds a finished touch, and the crop length keeps the proportions clean when worn over high-rise bottoms or tied off streetwear-style once you are off the sand.
Stretch Recycled Polyamide Mesh
The fabric blend of 85% polyester and 15% elastane gives the mesh swim shirt genuine four-way stretch, so it moves with you whether you are paddling out, walking the shore, or pulling it on over wet swimwear. The recycled polyamide mesh construction means the open weave does not sag or distort after repeated wear and washing. It holds its shape session after session.
Multifunctional Design That Earns Its Place in a Bag
Rip Curl designed the Hidden Isles Mesh Swim Tee to match back to their swim collection, so it works as an intentional set piece or as a standalone layer. The loose fit and cropped length transition from a swim cover-up to a streetwear-inspired top without any adjustment beyond the side ties. It is the kind of piece that earns a permanent spot in a beach bag because it solves more than one problem.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Hidden Isles Mesh Swim Tee see-through?
- The open-weave mesh construction is semi-sheer and is designed to be layered over a bikini top or swimsuit. It functions as a cover-up layer rather than a standalone top.
- Can I wear a mesh swim shirt in the water?
- Yes. The stretch recycled polyamide mesh is swimwear-grade, so it handles water exposure well. The 85% polyester and 15% elastane blend dries quickly and retains its shape after getting wet.
- How do the side tie details work?
- The functional ties at each side allow you to cinch or adjust the fit of the tee. Pulled tighter, they gather the mesh into a ruched silhouette. Left loose, the tee hangs in a relaxed crop silhouette.
- Is the Rip Curl Hidden Isles Mesh Swim Tee a good cover-up for the beach?
- It is built for exactly that use. The loose fit and crop length layer cleanly over swimwear, the mesh breathes in warm weather, and the multifunctional design means it transitions from beach to casual street wear without changing.
- How do I care for a mesh swim shirt?
- Rinse in cold water after saltwater or chlorine exposure. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and lay flat or hang to dry. Avoid high heat in the dryer, which can degrade elastane and distort the mesh weave over time.
- Does the Hidden Isles Mesh Swim Tee match the Rip Curl swim collection?
- Yes. Rip Curl designed this piece as a match-back to their swim line, so it coordinates with bottoms from the same collection for an intentional set look.
