10 Pairs of Swim Shorts to Wear in & Out of Water
Streamlining your wardrobe should be the ultimate goal. If you can buy one thing instead of two, do. After the news earlier this week that fast-fashion label Shein adds around 1,000 new styles every day, we’ve never been more staunch on the need to buy less and buy better. So, when the opportunity to cop a pair of swim shorts that you can wear every day arises, we leap at it.
With the tentative prospect of summer actually happening, now’s the time to be pre-packing that suitcase. To save valuable suitcase space and minimize your wardrobe in one fell swoop, we hit the pages of Farfetch to round up the best swim shorts that double up as everyday staples, too.
From signature green Bottega Veneta pieces to bold prints from Vetements and Marni, there’s a pair for everyone’s summer no matter whether it’s loud and proud or a little more toned-down.
