LEOHEX High-Gloss Fabric & Care Guide

LEOHEX is known for close-fitting apparel with distinctive glossy, coated and liquid-look surfaces. Different collections create different visual effects, but every specialized finish benefits from careful sizing, gentle handling and low-temperature care.

Understanding LEOHEX finish families

Liquid Gloss

Liquid Gloss is associated with the signature LEOHEX liquid-look aesthetic: a smooth, reflective surface that changes with lighting, viewing angle and movement. It appears across swimsuits, bodysuits, catsuits, leggings and fitted shorts.

Solid Gloss

Solid Gloss styles combine an even glossy appearance with streamlined one-piece silhouettes. Contrast panels and color-block designs can make seam lines and body-contouring construction more visible.

Titanium Gloss

Titanium Gloss products emphasize a brighter, technical-inspired reflective appearance. Selected product names identify LYCRA® styles; check the individual product page for the exact construction, available colors and design details.

Matte Coated

Matte Coated styles have a more subdued coated surface than the brightest gloss collections. The finish highlights clean lines, high necklines and close-fitting construction without the same level of mirror-like reflection.

Classic Gloss

Classic Gloss products represent streamlined racing- and competitive-inspired silhouettes in the familiar LEOHEX glossy aesthetic. They are a useful starting point for customers comparing the brand’s one-piece styles.

Why the same color can look different

Glossy fabric responds strongly to studio lighting, sunlight, shadows and camera exposure. Screen brightness and color settings can also affect how a product appears online. Product images should be used together with the written color name and description.

Lighter colors can become semi-sheer when stretched, while darker colors generally provide greater opacity. Choosing the correct size reduces excessive stretching and helps preserve the intended appearance.

How to wash high-gloss apparel

  1. Hand wash in cold water.
  2. Use a small amount of mild detergent.
  3. Do not bleach or use fabric softener.
  4. Do not scrub, twist or wring the surface aggressively.
  5. Rinse gently and allow excess water to drain.
  6. Hang or lay flat to dry in the shade.

Do not machine dry, iron or dry clean LEOHEX high-gloss and coated garments. Heat can damage the surface treatment and reduce elasticity.

How to protect the surface while dressing

Remove rings, watches and sharp jewelry before trying on a garment. Be careful with fingernails and avoid pulling the entire garment from one small area. Gather the fabric and move it gradually into position, distributing tension evenly.

For zippered styles, first align and support both sides of the garment, then move the zipper slowly. Never use the zipper itself to pull tightly stretched fabric together.

Drying and storage

Dry garments away from direct sunlight and strong heat. Store them clean and completely dry. Avoid prolonged contact with rough surfaces, sharp hardware or strongly contrasting materials that could mark a delicate finish. Folding loosely or hanging with smooth, supportive hangers helps prevent concentrated pressure.

Choosing a finish

Choose Liquid Gloss for the signature reflective liquid look, Solid Gloss for clean glossy color and panel designs, Titanium Gloss for a brighter technical-inspired effect, Matte Coated for a more restrained coated surface, or Classic Gloss for streamlined racing-inspired styling.
