Are Swim Shorts Flattering? Absolutely. Here’s Why

What makes swim shorts actually flattering for women?

1. The high-rise cut

Our high-waisted cuts do more than offer coverage. This timeless silhouette flatters every body, creating a smooth, uninterrupted line from hip to thigh (perfect if you prefer extra support through the tummy).

2. Princess seams fit for a queen

Hello, fairytale flattery. Our princess seams gently contour your body, providing shape without adding bulk. They follow your natural curves instead of fighting them, creating a streamlined look that’s supportive, stylish and flattering.

3. Fabric that moves with you

Crafted from premium recycled nylon with the perfect balance of stretch and structure, these shorts are engineered to move as naturally as you do. Translation? Squat-proof, sprint-proof, everything-proof.

4. Length options for every preference

No one-length-fits-all here. Whether you love our Grace Mini or prefer the coverage of our Alyssa Mid, having options means you can find the most flattering length for your unique shape.

5. Fully lined for confidence

Double lining means two layers of fabric for extra support and confidence. Which means no see-through surprises, no droop in sight. Just a smooth, secure style you can count on.

Why Sheila's design works for real women

All women are real women. We just come in different shapes and sizes, and that’s where most swimwear falls short. Our founder Clare didn’t design these in a beige boardroom. She created them in the real world, after too many failed shopping trips and one big realisation: women deserve better. Clare knew firsthand that truly flattering swimwear wasn't being made for real women with real lives.

The result? Swim shorts that move with you, fit like they should, and give you everything you need from your swimwear, whatever your shape or size.

As one customer put it:

"This is swimwear that *actually* understands what women want and need. The Grace Mini Shorts naaiiiiled the high-waisted design. I felt supported, not suffocated. I’m obsessed." - Ellie

How to style swim shorts for maximum confidence

The beauty of well-designed swim shorts? They're endlessly versatile. Pair them with a fitted rash vest for active days or throw on an oversized shirt for that effortless beach-to-brunch transition. 

Because when your swimwear fits properly and flatters your body, styling becomes the fun part, not the stressful bit.
