Short swim shorts

Short swim shorts are always fashionable, and because of this, on this site you will also find a large and wide selection of short swim shorts for men. They come in many different shapes, colours and patterns, so you're bound to find what you're looking for. Or else, there is always an opportunity to get inspiration for a new style of swimwear in the wide selection, so why not take a look around?

Should you choose long or short swim shorts?

The function of the two different types is essentially the same, but has more to do with the comfort. The long swim shorts typically go down to the knees and therefore give you more warmth around the thighs. Also, because of their length, you will find that they also stick more to the skin when you get out of the water.

You won't experience that with a pair of short swim shorts that often go to the middle of the thighs. This means that they have less fabric that can stick to the skin, while also drying faster. As such, they will not provide the same warmth around the thighs as long swimming shorts, which makes them most suitable for the beach or the pool. However they also do shine there!

Regardless of whether you choose long or short swim shorts - or maybe both - there is plenty to choose from on this page. And since you're already looking around for inspiration anyway, why not also check out our large selection of swim shorts, which you'll find right here. We also have swim shorts for women if that's what you're looking for.

Are there differences in short swim shorts?

Yes, there is a difference between the various short swim shorts for men, even though their function is the same.

The first difference you might notice is, that some models only come with elastic around the waist, while other models come with both elastic and ties. If you choose a model that only has elastic at the waist, you must be sure that they fit you right. If they are even a little too large, you might experience that they can come off when you swim or jump up and down in the water.

As such it is also better to buy such a model in a size too small than a size too large. This way you can be more sure that they fit correctly and that you will still be able to fit them as the elastic becomes a little looser after you use them a few times.

You are completely free from those problems if you choose a pair of short swim shorts for men that has both elastic and ties at the waist. Here you will always be able to use the laces to tie your swim shorts so that they fit you just right. On the other hand, you will not have quite as streamlined a look as the models with only elastic in the waistband.

Is there a difference in the fabric of short swim shorts for men?

Most swim shorts are made from either nylon, polyester or a blend. In addition, some of the models also have elastane in the fabric, which makes them more stretchy and feels softer on the skin. You will also be able to find models where the fabric is a mixture of nylon and polyamide, which can seem a little more coarse to the touch. On the other hand, they dry quickly.

In addition to this, the quality of the fabric can also affect the durability and how comfortable they are to wear, but don't worry. Here at Watery.ie, we only have short swim shorts for men of the highest quality, so you can be certain that they are comfortable to wear, regardless of which model you choose.

Get totally ready for your next trip in the water

Once you have found the pair of short swim shorts for men you need, you must make sure that you have all the other gear in order. Regardless of whether the trip goes to the beach og the pool, we would definitely recommend carrying a microfiber towel with you. They easily dry the water off the skin, and are also quick-drying. Perfect for a trip to the beach.

If you're going to the beach, the trip can quickly get ruined if you step on objects, or on a disposable grill that has been buried in the sand. There is, of course, a way to protect yourself from, and with a pair of super nice water shoes or swim shoes, you can keep your feet accident-free. And they work just as well on land as in water!

Make your short swim shorts last longer

Salt- and chlorine water is pretty rough on the materials swimwear is made from, and this also goes for short swim shorts for men. You can look better after them by following general guidelines:

• Most swim shorts can handle a machine wash at maximum 30 degrees.
• They can't handle going in the dryer
• Avoid wringing them dry.
• They should air dry in the shade.
• Cannot be ironed or bleached, and should preferably be washed without detergent.
• Should be rinsed in cold fresh water after each use.

Just remember that these are general guidelines to prolong their durability. Different swim shorts can come with their own washing guidelines, which you should always follow.
