Do you have only one pair of swim shorts? It may be enough for the occasional dip in the deep blue, but to reduce wear and sun bleaching, having another pair to alternate with is a good idea. Whether you spend your vacation in exotic locations surrounded by pools and palm trees or in an archipelago, you want to choose a colour or pattern you feel comfortable wearing.

The most important thing is to choose swimwearthat you feel confident and comfortable in. Make sure that your swim shorts provide enough freedom of movement and are adapted to your activities. Some swim shorts usually have inbuilt mesh or net linings that can provide extra comfort and support. Swim shorts tend to be loose and comfortable, but make sure they are not too big or too small. Also consider whether you want a button closure,elasticated drawstring waistband or any adjustable laces for a customisable fit.

Swim shorts are available in several designs in terms of colours and patterns. A pair of plain swim shorts in classic colours such as blue, dark green and red is a safe bet. Choose from other colours such as yellow, green or pink if you want to go for an even more colourful option. A playful choice in the summer and holiday seasons may be a pair of swim shorts with classic patterns such as paisley, stripes or decorated with printed motifs. Swimwear with side adjusters is suitable if you prefer a more dressy option. They are suitable for most occasions and can be worn as a pair of shorts combined with a polo shirt in cotton terry or a shirt.
