Full details
Designed for adult males seeking comfort and style by the water, the Superdry Essential 16" Swim Shorts in Green (XL) offer a relaxed fit and practical features. Their key benefit lies in providing a secure yet breathable feel for all water activities.

FAQs
What is the inseam length of the 16" swim shorts?
The '16"' in the product name refers to the approximate outseam length, not the inseam. The inseam is designed to be relatively short to complement the lower rise.
Are these shorts suitable for competitive swimming?
These shorts are designed for comfort and casual wear. While they can be worn for recreational swimming, the relaxed fit and fabric are optimized for comfort rather than competitive performance.
How do I know if I should choose my normal size?
The product description states they offer a 'Relaxed, true-to-size fit – Classic Superdry cut that isn't skinny or baggy'. It is recommended to go for your normal size for the intended fit.
Can I machine dry these swim shorts?
No, do not tumble dry. Please refer to the care instructions for proper drying methods, which typically involve air drying.
What does 'lower rise' mean for the fit?
A lower rise means the waistband sits lower on your hips compared to a traditional waistline.
Is the green color consistent across all batches?
While Superdry aims for color consistency, slight variations can occur due to the nature of fabric dyeing and screen display settings. However, the product is designed to be a specific shade of mint green.
What is the benefit of the internal mesh lining?
The internal mesh lining provides additional support and breathability, helping to keep you comfortable and preventing chafing during wear.
Troubleshooting
Drawstring is difficult to adjust
Ensure the drawstring is not tangled. If it feels stiff, lightly pull it back and forth to loosen. Avoid excessive force.
Mesh lining feels uncomfortable
Ensure the shorts are the correct size. If they feel too tight, the mesh lining might cause discomfort. Check care instructions to ensure fabric hasn't been damaged by improper washing.
Pockets do not close or secure items
The side pockets are open design for ease of access and are not zippered. For secure storage of small items, consider a waterproof pouch.
