Versace swim shorts in XS generally suit a waist of about 28–30 inches (71–76 cm). Treat that as a starting point, not a guaranteed measurement: sizing can vary by collection, cut, and product, and an elastic waistband may fit differently from a fixed waistband.
The waist range refers to your body measurement, not the shorts laid flat. If a product page lists a specific size chart, use that chart for the exact style you’re considering. A listed garment measurement may be larger than your body measurement because the shorts need room to sit comfortably.
Wrap a soft measuring tape around your waist where you normally wear swim shorts. Keep the tape level and comfortably snug without pulling it tight. If your measurement falls near the top of the XS range, compare it with the next size before ordering, especially if you prefer a relaxed fit.
For shorts you already own and like, measure the waistband across while the garment is laid flat, then compare that figure with the product details. Don’t stretch an elastic waistband unless the listing specifically gives a stretched measurement.
Versace styles may have different rises, leg lengths, lining, and waistband construction. A drawstring can help adjust the fit, but it does not make every size interchangeable. Consider how you want the shorts to feel when wet and when moving: a close fit may feel secure, while extra room can feel more relaxed.
If you are between sizes, consult the retailer’s size chart and return policy before purchasing. When available, customer fit notes for the specific style can also help clarify whether that pair runs small, large, or true to size. Avoid relying only on a general XS label, since sizing conventions differ across brands.

They should feel secure at the waist without pinching, and allow comfortable movement through the hips and legs. Check the individual product chart, since fit varies by style.
