FAQs

What is the primary material of the Twain Swim Shorts?

The Twain Swim Shorts are made from 100% Polyester, chosen for its durability and quick-drying properties.

How should I wash these swim shorts?

It is recommended to rinse them with cool, fresh water after use, and then machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on low.

Are these swim shorts suitable for athletic swimming?

While they allow for ease of movement, they are primarily designed for casual wear, lounging, and recreational water activities rather than competitive or intensive athletic swimming.

What does 'oversized fit' mean for these shorts?

An oversized fit means the shorts are cut with more room, providing a relaxed silhouette and greater freedom of movement compared to a traditional, more fitted style.

Do the pockets have zippers?

No, the Twain Swim Shorts feature open side pockets and a single open back right pocket. They do not have zippers.

What is the benefit of the tartan pattern?

The oversized tartan pattern provides a modern and distinctive visual appeal, adding a stylish element to casual summer wear.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too large/baggy.

Adjust the elasticated waistband for a snugger fit. If the fit is still not satisfactory, consider if the oversized style is suitable for your preference. Note that other 'Regular' fit options may be available from the brand.

Color fading after washing.

Ensure you are washing with similar colors and using a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged drying periods.

Pockets do not feel secure.

These shorts feature standard open pockets. For securing valuables during vigorous activity, consider using a waterproof pouch or a zippered bag.
