The Best Women’s Swim Shorts to Complete Your Summer Wardrobe

If you fondly remember the surfie-girl craze from the early aughts, then you're probably well-acquainted with the iconic swim shorts of that era.

Fast forward nearly twenty years, and guess what? Swim shorts are making a comeback but with a fresh twist. Gone are the oversized, baggy styles of yesteryear. Now, we're embracing a new wave of swim shorts.

Say farewell to the tiny bikini bottoms that dominated the past decade. The trend is shifting toward more coverage, featuring high-waisted and snug-fitting shorts that are making waves in the activewear scene.

Picture swim shorts that resemble bike shorts, but with a shorter and sassier flair. Crafted in Spandex blends and other eco-friendly fabrics, these shorts can be worn over your existing bikini bottoms or as a standalone piece for a chic swim look. Moreover, most shorts for swimming nowadays come with UPF protection from the sun to give you that extra shield from its harmful rays.

So whether you're into the contemporary vibe or longing for the good old days, there's a swim shorts revival waiting for you.
