Shorts vs Bikinis: Why More Women Are Choosing Swim Shorts Over Bikinis

Comfort and coverage, sans the drama

Bikinis are all fun and games—until you’re constantly adjusting them. Wedgies? Nip slips? Tan lines that defy logic? Hard pass. Swim shorts have your back (and everything else).

Whether you’re chasing waves, kids, or iced coffee down the beach, swim shorts are freedom. High-waisted designs bring extra support, coverage, and a secure fit—no ride-ups, no regrets.

Modesty? Check. Style? Double check.

Modesty is personal, whether it’s about preference, religion, or just comfort. Our high-waisted styles offer the coverage you need, with lengths that move with you—so you feel as good as you look.

Pick your colour, choose your length, and style it your way. Simple as that. Need inspo? Complete the look with our long-length Ash Cropped Vest for sleek upper-body coverage, or throw on the Sheila Logo Tee for effortlessly cool style.

Invested in versatility

Beach, brunch, and everything in between—swim shorts are as versatile as your summer plans. With quick-dry fabrics, you can splash in the ocean, throw on a shirt, and head straight to your favourite café without looking (or feeling) like you just walked out of the waves.

What makes them so versatile:

• Quick-dry fabrics for no-fuss transitions
• High-waisted fits that flatter every figure
• Stylish enough for all your on-land adventures.

Style tip: Pair Sheila’s high-waisted Alyssa Mid Swim Shorts with an oversized linen shirt and your favourite sunnies. Voilà—a look that works for salty mornings and spritz-filled afternoons.

Swim shorts for every occasion

Forget the idea that swim shorts are just for sporty types or bikini-averse women. From surfers to sunbathers, more women are choosing swim shorts because they make sense: practical, stylish, and designed for real life.
