Bathing shorts can be more than just a pair of swim shorts. With a dressy design and thoughtful detailing, they can be worn as a pair of shorts and function both at a café with a cotton or linen polo shirt on hot summer days.
When choosing to match your clothes with a pair of bathing shorts, do not let the bathing shorts take centre stage, but let them be part of your outfit. Keep it understated and choose calmer colour schemes. In the combination below, we have chosen a pair of bathing shorts in a striped and dressy design that creates a stylish look. Combine with casual garments - without creating a purely “swim” based look.
These bathing shorts from Britain’s Sunspel are exclusive to Care of Carl, perfect for the holidays. Dressy details such as side adjusters, coin pocket and press studs make these swim shorts a dressier option when compared to a pair of drawstring swim trunks. Once you have let the bathing shorts dry, just throw on your polo or linen shirt, a bucket hat and a pair of stylish trainers and you will be ready for your day trip or evening drinks.
A pair of striped shorts are a classic choice, patterned but without attracting too much attention. You can choose wide stripes for a bold and sporty look or thin, subtle stripes for a more elegant and refined look. Whether you are lying by the pool, playing beach volleyball or simply enjoying a relaxing swim, these bathing shorts offer both style and functionality. They are a timeless and classic choice that never goes out of fashion, making them a reliable staple within your swimwear collection.
