Best Swim Shorts

What to look for in swim shorts?

Finding the perfect swim shorts can help you feel comfortable and confident at the pool, beach, or on vacation.

1. Fit & Coverage

Look for swim shorts that provide the level of coverage you prefer, whether that's mid-thigh, knee-length, or longer. A comfortable waistband and a fit that moves with you are key to feeling your best.

2. Fabric & Quick-Dry Technology

Choose swim shorts made from lightweight, quick-drying materials that resist fading and stretching. Fabrics with built-in UV protection can also help shield your skin from the sun.

3. Support & Lining

Some swim shorts offer built-in briefs or mesh lining for added support and comfort. Consider if you prefer lined or unlined styles based on your activity level and personal preference.

4. Style & Versatility

Select a style that matches your personality—whether you love bold prints, classic solids, or sporty details. Many swim shorts can double as activewear for beach walks or casual outings.
