Classic boardshorts for surfing and snorkelling
Boardshorts are made for movement! They help stop you from chafing, help protect your legs from the sun and surfboard wax, and give you a little extra coverage when you pop up on your board. Plus, you can throw them on over your other swimwear to give you more options with what you’ve already got.
Lightweight swim shorts for everyday dips
Some days you just want a little more coverage. That’s where women’s swim shorts come in handy. They’re still cut close to the body so there’s less drag in the water, while still giving you extra coverage and length. Pair them with your favourite bikini top for a cute summery look.
Longer styles for extra sun coverage
A day in the sun sounds fun until your skin starts to tingle. Longer boardshorts and swim shorts for women add that bit of extra cover from the sun while you surf, play and lie out. Having a good beach umbrella or sun shelter waiting for you on the sand or by the pool helps too.
Women's swim shorts FAQs
What's the difference between women’s swim shorts and boardshorts?
The main difference between swim shorts and boardshorts is their length and how they’re worn. Many women’s swim shorts are designed to be worn on their own or are shorter in length, while boardshorts are typically longer and worn over bikini bottoms.
What do I wear under boardshorts?
It’s common to wear bikini bottoms or a one-piece swimsuit under women’s boardshorts. Some styles already have built-in briefs, in which case you don’t need additional bottoms.
How should women's boardshorts fit?
Women’s boardshorts that fit well should feel secure at the waist without digging in or slipping down. You should have enough room to comfortably swim, walk and move without having to keep pulling up or adjusting your shorts.
