Our story

Swim shorts should be fun.

Summer's better with a little colour.

Back in 2020 we launched a pair of swim shorts that changed colour in the summer sun. Purple to blue, blue to green, orange to yellow. A little warmth was all it took.

Made for summer

Early swims to late sunsets

Ocean pools first thing. Beach walks at sunset. The backyard sprinkler, and one last dip before dinner.

Our men's shorts pair quick-dry four-way stretch with a mesh inner liner and a full elastic waist with drawcord, so they're as comfortable on the sand as they are in the water.

For the kids

Made to match

Our kids' shorts come in Purple to Blue and Orange to Yellow, the same as dad's Original, so the little ones can match you at the pool. Kids love watching the colour change. Dads love being in on it.

Want both in one go? Our Dad & Mini sets pair a men's and a kids' pair in the same colour.
