Summer has officially landed. It’s the season of spontaneous getaways, beach club bookings, and that all-too-familiar scramble for sun cream that never quite does the job. But when it comes to your holiday wardrobe, there’s no room for compromise, especially when your day flows from shoreline to sundowners. Enter: Moss swim shorts, the all-in-one solution for guys who want to pack light, dress smart, and look sharp wherever the tide takes them.
Moss Swim Shorts
The Swim Short That Thinks It’s Tailored
Gone are the days when swimwear meant baggy board shorts or garish patterns that felt out of place anywhere outside a water park. Moss has elevated the humble swim short by giving it a tailored twist, blending the brand’s heritage in sharp British suiting with relaxed summer functionality.
Take their side-adjuster swim short, for instance. With metal side tabs typically found on pleated suit trousers, these shorts look more at home with a crisp linen shirt and loafers than with flip flops. It’s the kind of detail that makes a statement—without ever trying too hard.
Prefer something a little more laid-back? Moss has you covered there too. Their drawstring swim shorts might be more relaxed in design, but thoughtful touches like subtle pinstripes or textural fabrics keep them far from sloppy. It’s resort wear that doesn’t feel like a costume.
Taupe Wide Stripe Smart Swim Short
Classic tailoring meets beach-ready cool in the Taupe Wide Stripe Smart Swim Short. Featuring crisp vertical stripes and refined side adjusters, this pair is built for sipping rosé by the sea or heading to a terrace dinner without needing to change. A neutral tone makes them endlessly wearable, whether paired with a white tee or unbuttoned shirt.
Made to Move (And Dry) Fas
Let’s be honest: no one wants to sit through lunch in a soggy pair of swim trunks. Moss has tackled the practical side too. Every pair is crafted from 100% recycled polyester that dries quickly, meaning you can go from swimming in the surf to sipping spritzes in your favourite beach bar—without the awkward cling.
This also means you won’t leave a trail of wet patches through your hotel corridor or the backseat of that little Fiat you rented for a coastal drive. And thanks to their sustainable construction, you’re doing your bit for the planet while soaking up the sun.
Khaki Floral Smart Swim Short
If you’re looking to make a subtle statement, the Khaki Floral Smart Swim Short delivers. The dark botanical print feels grown-up yet playful, while the tailored fit and quick-dry finish make it ideal for everything from boat trips to rooftop bars.
Style That Travels Well
Colour-wise, Moss has nailed the summer palette. Whether you’re into classic navy, muted olive, soft coral, or confident cobalt, there’s a shade to complement your tan and your travel plans. Texture and pattern are also on the menu—from seersucker-inspired fabrics to timeless vertical stripes—so you can switch things up without veering into novelty territory.
These are shorts that work across time zones and dress codes. Pair them with a short-sleeve shirt for breakfast on the terrace, swap in a vest for the beach, and then layer on a lightweight overshirt to take you into the evening. No outfit changes required.
Sky Stripe Print Swim Shorts
The Sky Stripe Print Swim Shorts blend a relaxed drawstring fit with a breezy blue stripe that channels Italian Riviera energy. Team them with espadrilles and sunglasses and you’re good to go from cabana to cocktail hour.
Why They’re Worth the Space in Your Suitcase
Packing for a summer escape can be a balancing act between minimalism and style. With Moss swim shorts, you’re essentially getting three items in one: functional swimwear, off-duty daywear, and bar-ready smart-casual. Whether you’re heading to a Greek island, a Spanish coast, or your friend’s villa pool party, these shorts save you time, space, and stress.
In short: they’re the ultimate travel companion. And let’s not forget—they photograph well too, which always helps when the holiday album hits Instagram.
