Can Swim Shorts Be Worn as Regular Shorts? Yes. Here’s Why Ours Are Different

What makes Sheila swim shorts everyday-ready

It all starts with the shape. We cut ours like real shorts, not bulky board shorts with awkward lengths or scratchy velcro. Just clean lines, soft structure, and a fit that actually flatters. These aren’t just swim shorts — they’re stylish enough to wear casually, even when swimming’s not on the agenda.

Then we added the features you actually need:

• Fully lined, so you never need to double-layer
• UPF 50+ fabric, for sun protection all day long
• Versatile lengths, so you can pick and choose for every occasion

Plus, they’re comfortable enough to sit in all day, structured enough to dress up, and subtle enough to blend in with the rest of your wardrobe.

How to style swim shorts beyond the beach

This is where Sheila swim shorts really earn their stripes: equal parts shape-shifter, overachiever, and undercover essential.

For travel
Start with your swim shorts, a crop tank, and a button-up. Save your suitcase for the important stuff (like all four beach reads you won’t finish).

For errands
Sneakers, a tee, and you’re good to go. Grab a coffee, swing by the post office, do a grocery run, all while wearing swimwear. Your little secret.

For the beach-to-brunch shift
Throw on a shirt dress or oversized button-up and you’re instantly cafe-ready. No outfit change required. Just a smooth move from sand to sourdough.

The beauty is in the versatility. These shorts adapt to your day, and keep up with it too. See more ways to style your swim shorts.
