Product Information
Full details
The Superdry Essential 16" Swim Shorts are designed for adult men seeking comfortable and stylish beachwear. Their key benefit is a relaxed, true-to-size fit with practical features for active use. A potential caveat is that they are made from 100% polyester, which may retain water longer than some other materials. These shorts offer a classic Superdry cut that balances comfort and style, featuring a lower rise with internal mesh lining, two side pockets, and an elastic drawstring waist. Subtle branding with an embroidered logo and back-waist tab completes the timeless look, making them ideal for both pool and beach.

Troubleshooting
Swim shorts feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the internal drawstring to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. If the overall fit is incorrect, consider trying a different size based on the size guide.
Mesh lining feels uncomfortable or chafes.
Ensure the shorts are properly sized and the drawstring is adjusted correctly. Sometimes, repeated wear and washing can soften the lining. If discomfort persists, these may not be the ideal fit for your preference.
Color fades after washing.
Always wash with similar colors and use a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying, as prolonged exposure can cause colors to fade. Use the recommended low heat setting for tumble drying.
Pockets do not feel secure for valuables.
These shorts feature standard side pockets without closures. For carrying valuables during activities, consider using a waterproof pouch or leaving items secured elsewhere.
