Polyester Sea Swim Shorts — Red Piping and Mesh Lining
$72.11
Description
Some swim shorts are content to blend in. These are not. The sea-colour pattern — available in a deep ocean blue and a fresh coastal green — is punctuated by bold red piping that traces the seams with the kind of considered detail that reads as effortless from a distance and deliberate up close. Cut from 100% quick-dry polyester with a breathable mesh lining, they move from the water to the shoreline without complaint, drying fast and holding their shape through a full day of sun and salt.

Why This Product
- Quick-dry polyester that keeps pace with you: 100% polyester construction sheds water fast, so you are never stuck in a heavy, clinging garment between swims or on the walk back to your towel.
- Mesh lining for all-day comfort: The breathable mesh interior reduces friction and keeps air circulating, making these shorts as comfortable for a long beach day as they are for active swimming.
- Red piping — a detail that earns its place: The contrasting red seam piping is not decorative for its own sake; it sharpens the silhouette and gives the shorts a sportswear-meets-resort energy that reads well both in and out of the water.
- Adjustable fit for every body: The combination of an elastic waistband and a drawstring means the fit is genuinely adjustable — secure enough for active swimming, relaxed enough for lounging.
- Two colourways, one considered palette: The blue and green options are drawn from the same coastal reference point, making them easy to style with neutral resort wear without looking like an afterthought.
Care and Maintenance
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colours. Turn inside out before washing to protect the piping and pattern.
- Avoid: Tumble drying, bleach, fabric softeners, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when wet, which can fade the colour over time.
- After swimming: Rinse thoroughly in fresh water after sea or pool use to remove salt, chlorine, and sunscreen residue, which can degrade the fabric if left to dry in.
- Drying: Lay flat or hang to dry in the shade. Do not wring or twist the fabric.
- Storage: Store clean and fully dry to prevent mildew. Avoid folding on the piping seams under pressure for extended periods.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which size should I choose?
Measure your natural waist and match to the size guide above. If you are between sizes or prefer a more relaxed fit, size up. The drawstring allows you to fine-tune the fit once you have the shorts on.
Are these suitable for both swimming and beach lounging?
Yes — the quick-dry polyester and mesh lining make them equally comfortable for active swimming and relaxed beach or poolside wear. They dry fast enough to wear comfortably off the water without changing.
Are these chlorine and seawater resistant?
The polyester fabric holds up well to both chlorinated pool water and seawater. We recommend rinsing in fresh water after each use to extend the life of the fabric and preserve the colour.
Do the blue and green colourways fit the same?
Yes — both colourways share the same cut, sizing, and construction. The size guide above applies to both.
Is this sold as a single pair?
Yes, each listing is for one pair of swim shorts in your chosen colourway and size.
