Reviews Summary
Customers say these swim shorts are comfortable, cute, and versatile for beach activities, surfing, and pool use. The lightweight material dries quickly and feels soft against the skin. Many appreciate the adjustable drawstring waistband and zippered pocket. However, sizing is consistently problematic, with most reviewers noting the shorts run significantly larger than expected and recommending sizing down one to two sizes. Some customers wish the shorts included a built-in liner for swimming. While the majority find them flattering and well-made, a few mention concerns about the fabric being too thin or see-through.

    Ok but not as expected.

    These are nice but I assumed they would have a liner. Final sale.

    Don’t love them

    I have purchased similar shorts previously that I loved from Carve. These do not fit the same at all and are much tighter/less flattering. Unfortunately they are final sale so I can’t return them.
