Most swim shorts are made for one moment — the water. What happens after, when the fabric dries and the day continues, is rarely considered. The result is a garment that performs in the sea and fails everywhere else. The PP swim short was designed for both.

The outer fabric is Belgian linen. Medium weight — substantial enough to hold its structure in the water, light enough to dry quickly once out of it. In the water it moves freely. Out of it, the cloth holds its shape without stiffening, breathes through the afternoon without holding the heat of the previous hour. The walk from the pool to the terrace. Lunch without changing. The kind of ease that is only possible when the material is right.

The lining is 100% cotton against the skin. The combination — linen outside, cotton inside — produces something that functions in the water and feels, out of it, like a garment rather than sportswear. Most people who try the swim short for the first time are surprised by this. The description does not quite prepare them.

Walnut button at the waistband. PP monogram embroidered at the hem. A quiet mark on a garment that does not need to announce itself.

Part of the wider natural wardrobe — worn alongside the linen trousers and shirts from the same cloth.

Available as part of the men’s linen collection, alongside the shirts, trousers, and tennis sets.
