FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for competitive swimming?

These swim shorts are designed for comfort and casual wear. While they are suitable for recreational swimming, they may not offer the specialized hydrodynamic features or tight fit required for competitive swimming.

What does 'regular fit' mean for these shorts?

Regular fit indicates a standard, not too tight and not too loose, cut that allows for comfortable movement. The elasticated waistband with a drawstring further ensures a customizable and comfortable fit.

How durable is the embroidered Laurel Wreath?

The embroidered Laurel Wreath is a high-quality detail designed to be durable. Following the recommended care instructions will help maintain its appearance over time.

Can I wear these shorts for activities other than swimming?

Yes, their comfortable and stylish design makes them suitable for various warm-weather activities such as lounging, beachcombing, or casual wear.

How do I know if I ordered the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer and compare it with your measurements. The 'L' size typically corresponds to a UK waist size of 34 inches, but always check specific brand sizing guides.

Are there different color options available?

Fred Perry offers swim shorts in various colors. While this guide focuses on the Blue - L variant, other colors like French Navy and Black are also available.

Troubleshooting

Drawstring becomes untied

Ensure the knot is firm. If the drawstring material is very smooth, consider a double knot for extra security.

Pockets feel loose

The welt pockets are designed for light items. Avoid overstuffing them, especially when wet. For more security, consider a waterproof pouch for valuables.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are following the recommended washing instructions. Using a fabric softener on a low setting during the rinse cycle might help, or air drying away from direct sunlight can prevent stiffness.
