Sustainability Isn't A Feature - It's Our Foundation

About UsA Cleaner Wave Of Swim
Shop Recycled SwimLove me new shorts. They are soft and comfortable with just the right amount of stretch. Color is bright and fun. Love them. They run slightly on the bigger side so I had to size down.
I bought 3 pairs back in May during a sale: quarry, rum, and olive. I live in the Oahu 6" shorts and have for several years now. These new shorts are made of a much thinner cord fabric. And they all fit diffrently. The quarry pair is much tighter than the other two colors. I kept them because they were on sale. But it is disappointing to see prices increase and quality decrease. I will go back to finding gently used pairs on Poshmark.
I'm loving these shorts in the 6" length. In the past I bought the 4" ver, but the extra 2" is perfect. The fabric is also great: soft, comfortable, and a thin corduroy, so it doesn't feel heavy or hot at all.
I do think the sizing has changed since my last purchase, since my new shorts are not loose but instead true to size. Instead of a boyfriend fit, these feel fitted, but still comfortable. The fabric doesn't stretch out much while wearing, as my older pair always does, so that's a bonus.
Overall I would buy these again and I wish more colors were available, especially more shades of blue.
I loooove this. The waist is low-ish, but not enough to show my muffin top.
The length is mid thigh (I am only 5' 4"). Extremely comfy and cool!
I would buy one more pair...
These are my favorite all time shorts! Living in the Northeast makes for a short summer season- wish I could wear them all year!
