How to style: Swimming shorts

How to style: Swimming shorts

We're approaching the height of summer, and there’s no better time to talk about the must-have garment for these warm months: swim shorts. We've gathered inspiration on how you can style the classic blue and white striped swim shorts.

The best thing about swim shorts is their versatility: they work perfectly as regular shorts during hot summers and are also ideal for swimming. Pair them with sandals for a casual look or boat shoes for a slightly dressier vibe. By switching between a t-shirt and an Oxford shirt, you can achieve two distinct styles. Our stylist has curated two ways to wear classic blue striped swim shorts in a timeless seersucker texture, featuring the iconic polo player from Polo Ralph Lauren.

To the beach

If the beach and sun aren't enough, we liven it up even more with this holiday-inspired, colorful, and retro patterned t-shirt. Whether you're on a gray, overcast Scandinavian beach or the Caribbean island of Saint Barth, the combination of comfortable sandals and classic striped swim shorts is just right.

After the beach

To quote our stylist: "Beach boys go wining with buddies" – with this combination, you can go straight from the beach to pizza and wine with friends. Swap your bleached, sunscreen-soaked t-shirt for a summery shirt, and leave the sandals at home in favor of a pair of comfortable boat shoes. The water bottle you finished earlier can be replaced with a bottle of wine in one of the compartments of your tote bag, and a cap with retro vibes can cover your beach hairstyle that didn’t have time to be fixed after a long day in the sun.
