Boardshorts have become popular among those with active lifestyles and warm climates. They are lightweight, durable, and quick-drying, and come in a variety of colors, styles, and fabrics. They are produced by many popular clothing companies and are ideal for vacation due to their compact size.

Shorts aren’t just for surfing anymore. They started out as the boardshorts of choice for surfers, but have now been embraced by virtually everyone involved in an active lifestyle. Surfers, skaters, windsurfers, and kayakers have fallen in love with these lightweight, durable, comfortable, and quick-drying trunks. Even those who simply want to look like they just came from the beach are buying these shorts, and many people living in warmer climates choose to wear them as everyday clothing.

The board short style evolved from the more traditional style of boardshorts, but they are not gathered or elasticated at the waist. Modern versions are more like a swimming trunks and walking shorts combo. The shorts are unlined, have a flat cut line, and close with Velcro, laces, and eyelets. Many brands use reinforced seams to reduce split seams during strenuous physical activities, and also add a small pocket that closes with Velcro to carry keys or cash.

These shorts are popular with men, women, and children, and are now produced by many of the most popular clothing companies, including LLBean, Billabong, Hurley, Quicksilver, and Ocean Pacific, among others.

The shorts are available in a wide range of colors, styles, and fabrics, though most are made from nylon for its durability and drip-dry quality. They come in a variety of lengths, from short to knee length. Many feature a contrasting side panel; These panels are often prints that complement the solid color of the main body of the shorts. Hawaiian prints are popular on shorts, sometimes appearing on just the contrast panel, and other times, all over the garment.

If you’re going on vacation, this style of shorts is ideal because they take up very little space in your luggage, while still giving you casual beachwear options. Whether you plan to brave the waves or simply walk along the shore, you’ll have the right look when wearing your shorts this summer.
