The PP Natural Swim Shorts Guide — Everything You Need to Know
The PP natural swim shorts are the only element of the PP collection specifically designed for the water. Every other PP garment is for the deck, the beach, the restaurant — the natural swim shorts are for the sea itself.
What makes PP natural swim shorts different. The PP natural swim shorts are made from a natural fabric — not the nylon or polyester that comprises almost all conventional swim shorts. This means they are 100% natural and 100% biodegradable, consistent with the PP philosophy for every other garment in the collection. They dry quickly in Mediterranean heat; they do not release microplastics when washed.
“The PP natural swim shorts are the only PP garment specifically designed for the water — 100% natural, 100% biodegradable, the defining pairing with the white PP linen shirt on deck and at the beach.”
— Pieter Petros, founderThe occasion range. Natural swim shorts are specifically for water-adjacent occasions: the sea swim, the boat deck, the swimming platform, the beach club chair. They are not linen shorts — they are not the correct garment for the harbour restaurant evening or the village promenade. The PP wardrobe transition from the beach to the dinner: swap the natural swim shorts for linen trousers, button the white PP linen shirt, put on leather shoes.
The pairing with PP linen shirts. The natural swim shorts are designed to be worn with the white PP Laos linen shirt open over them — the defining PP wardrobe combination for the boat, the beach, and the resort daytime. The visual combination of white certified Belgian linen open over natural swim shorts is the most distinctively PP and most naturally composed resort wardrobe available.
The colour. PP natural swim shorts are available in natural/sand and other colourways — check pieterpetros.com for the current range.
