Men's Designer Swim Shorts at Butterworths

Summer holidays call for swim shorts that look as good as they perform, and Butterworths' collection has been chosen with exactly that balance in mind. Napapijri brings its distinctive Italian styling to swimwear, combining practical, quick-drying fabrics with confident colours and prints. Whatever your holiday plans, our men's swim shorts range is designed to help you feel comfortable and look great by the pool or on the beach.

What to Look for When Buying Designer Swim Shorts

Fabric is the most important factor for swim shorts. Look for quick-drying, lightweight polyester fabrics that resist water absorption, meaning you'll spend less time in damp shorts and more time enjoying your holiday. A mesh lining is also worth checking for, as this adds comfort and support without needing to wear separate underwear beneath your shorts.

Length and fit are worth considering carefully too. A mid-length swim short, sitting just above the knee, tends to be the most versatile option, working well for swimming as well as being comfortable enough to wear around the pool or beach all day. Check the waistband for a secure drawstring or elasticated fit, and look for a zippered or secure pocket if you need to carry small essentials like a room key while swimming.

How to Style Men's Designer Swim Shorts

Swim shorts are wonderfully simple to style for a relaxed holiday look. Pair Napapijri swim shorts with a lightweight linen shirt for beach dinners or evening strolls, or wear them with just a plain t-shirt and sandals during the day for maximum comfort. Choosing a bold print or colour can make a real statement, while classic navy or block colours offer a more understated, versatile option.

For beach-to-bar transitions, layer a light shirt or overshirt over your swim shorts, finishing with comfortable sandals or slides. This creates an effortless, put-together look that works well for holiday evenings without requiring a full outfit change.

Caring for Your Designer Swim Shorts

Rinse swim shorts in fresh water after use in the sea or a chlorinated pool, as salt and chlorine can degrade fabric and fade colours over time if left unrinsed. Avoid wringing them out aggressively, as this can damage the fabric and any mesh lining, and allow them to air dry away from direct, intense sunlight to help preserve colour vibrancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What swim shorts brands does Butterworths stock?

We stock men's swim shorts from Napapijri, known for combining practical, quick-drying fabrics with confident Italian styling. All stock is genuine and sourced through official channels.

What length of swim shorts is most versatile?

A mid-length short, sitting just above the knee, tends to work best for both swimming and general wear around the pool or beach. It's a flattering length for most body types too.

Do designer swim shorts dry quickly?

Yes, quality swim shorts like those from Napapijri use lightweight, quick-drying polyester fabrics designed to minimise water absorption. This means less time waiting around in damp shorts during your holiday.

Should I rinse my swim shorts after swimming in the sea?

Yes, rinsing in fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorine helps prevent fabric degradation and colour fading over time. It only takes a moment and significantly extends the life of your swim shorts.

Can swim shorts double as regular shorts?

While swim shorts can be worn casually, they're specifically designed for water use with quick-drying fabric and often a mesh lining, so they may not offer the same comfort as dedicated casual shorts for extended everyday wear.
