The best natural swim shorts are those that perform correctly in the water, transition to the terrace without requiring a change, look considered in both contexts, and are made from materials that do not contribute to the microplastic accumulation that synthetic swimwear adds to every ocean and pool they enter.

PP natural swim shorts meet all four of these criteria. The natural fabric manages the water environment without the synthetic materials that mainstream swimwear uses. The cut — above the knee, enough ease through the leg to allow natural movement in and out of the water — transitions from the sea to the beach club lunch without the awkwardness of very short swim shorts or the excessive length of board shorts.

The construction. Natural fabric swim shorts require more considered construction than synthetic alternatives because the material is less forgiving of poor pattern cutting. PP natural swim shorts are cut and constructed at the Dubai atelier with the same attention to the specific properties of the natural fabric that defines every piece in the PP collection.

The resort context. The best natural swim shorts for resort wear are those that read as considered in the most observed contexts the resort produces — the pool terrace at a luxury property, the beach club, the boat deck. PP natural swim shorts are available through select partner boutiques including One&Only and Four Seasons properties — current stockist availability is confirmed at pieterpetros.com.

The colourways. White and natural for the beach and direct sun. Navy for the pool terrace and the more composed resort context. Earth tones for the outdoor and naturalistic settings.
