Product Insights

The Simons Solid-Coloured Swim Short ($39, in stock) balances eco-friendly performance with stylistic tradeoffs: its recycled polyester mesh liner wicks moisture, dries quickly, and prevents ballooning, while the 5-inch inseam favors sporty modern looks and shorter statures but requires sizing up for muscular builds. The vivid matte peachskin colors resist fading (with rinsing), yet slit pockets suit lounging over swimming. At this price, buyers find quality and design rivaling premium brands.

Sizing

Buyers with muscular or large lower bodies often need to size up due to the slim cut.

Why this is supported

Reviews show the cut runs slimmer through the upper thighs and rear than other Simons trunks, so buyers with developed lower bodies often need to size up. One reviewer said,

Compared to two other size L swimsuits from Simons’ house brand, this one is a little slimmer through the upper thighs and rear end and that’s why I returned it.Customer review, February 25, 2026

Another reviewer highlighted the tradeoff, stating the shorts are

The right length. Short to show off quads!Customer review, August 15, 2025

confirming that the slim cut shows off quads but can be restrictive. Additionally, sizing inconsistency has been reported across reviews, with some buyers noting waist tightness and short legs.

Inseam

The 5-inch inseam is short; buyers report it shows off legs and flatters shorter statures.

Why this is supported

The 5-inch inseam is intentionally short. One reviewer said,

I got a large and it's quite short on my legs still, definitely a lot smaller than I expectedCustomer review, April 3, 2026

while another called it

The right length. Short to show off quads!Customer review, August 15, 2025

. For men under 5'8", the inseam is said to visually lengthen legs:

Under 5'8" | 5" or 7" | Makes legs look longerairswimwear.com
Wet performance

The mesh-lined fabric wicks moisture, dries quickly, and prevents ballooning in water.

Why this is supported

The peachskin fabric's texture allows air circulation and wicks moisture; perfectextile.com explains that it

lets air move through, so you stay cool. It does not trap heat like some other synthetic fabrics. It pulls sweat away from your skin, so you feel dry.perfectextile.com

Additionally, the polyester fabric's hydrophobic nature makes it dry fast; yitaifabrics.com states that polyester

is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water. This allows swimwear made from it to dry remarkably fast, reducing discomfort and preventing the growth of odor-causing bacteria.yitaifabrics.com

The built-in mesh lining further enhances performance by preventing ballooning, as confirmed by the product description mentioning

Built-in mesh liningstylight.ca
Sustainability

Recycled polyester reduces emissions by 32% and energy use by 59% over virgin polyester.

Why this is supported

The fabric is made from recycled polyester, which has a lower environmental impact. According to MedCraveOnline, it was reported that

recycled polyester reduces emissions by 32% and uses 59% less energy compared to virgin polyester.medcraveonline.com
Color vibrancy

Buyers say the solid colors are vivid and photo-accurate for the price.

Why this is supported

Multiple reviewers note the solid colours are vivid and photo-accurate, outperforming expectations given the price point.

Fade resistance

Colors resist fading from UV and chlorine; maker recommends rinsing after use.

Why this is supported

Catalog verified that the recycled polyester fabric offers inherent UV resistance:

UV Resistance: It offers excellent protection against the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, safeguarding the fabric's color and the wearer's skin.yitaifabrics.com

Similarly, chlorine resistance protects colors during pool use:

Unlike elastane (spandex) which degrades quickly, polyester is highly resistant to chlorine, making it ideal for frequent pool use.yitaifabrics.com

The fabric's durability against pilling and abrasion helps maintain surface appearance:

The fibers are incredibly strong, resisting tears, abrasions, and pilling, which significantly extends the garment's lifespan.yitaifabrics.com

However, the brand advises rinsing with fresh water after exposure, and no specific fade guarantee is offered. The affordable price also allows buyers to rotate multiple pairs, reducing cumulative exposure and preserving colors.

Finish

Peachskin matte finish provides a non-reflective, refined look.

Why this is supported

The peachskin matte finish gives the colours a non-reflective, refined look. Textile sources note:

The matte look makes it look fancy but not shiny.perfectextile.com
Fabric

95% recycled polyester outer resists chlorine, abrasion, and UV and dries quickly.

Why this is supported

The recycled polyester fibers in the outer shell offer strong resistance to tears, abrasions, and pilling,

The fibers are incredibly strong, resisting tears, abrasions, and pilling, which significantly extends the garment's lifespan.yitaifabrics.com

It is also highly resistant to chlorine,

Unlike elastane (spandex) which degrades quickly, polyester is highly resistant to chlorine, making it ideal for frequent pool use.yitaifabrics.com

and provides UV protection and quick drying. The peachskin finish adds breathability and moisture-wicking. Note: the spandex mesh liner may degrade faster than the outer shell.

Construction

Built-in mesh liner and drawcord waist hold up; 5-inch inseam reduces ballooning.

Why this is supported

The mesh liner holds up over time, as

reviewers highlight quality stitching and a solid liner that holds up after multiple wears.theme

The waistband is

Drawcord-adjustable elastic waiststylight.ca

, contributing to shape retention. Additionally, the

Lightweight recycled polyester blend weave boasting a peachskin finishstylight.ca

and 5-inch inseam reduce water ballooning, maintaining the shorts' shape.

Value

At 39 CAD, buyers say quality and design rival pricier brands at a fraction of the cost.

Why this is supported

Customer reviews consistently highlight the value proposition:

Impressive value — the quality and design rival pricier brands at a fraction of the cost.theme

Another review specifically praises

high-quality materials and stitchingCustomer review, February 25, 2026

, indicating that the shorts are built to last relative to their price point.

Fit

Elastic waist with drawcord and mesh liner keeps shorts secure during movement.

Why this is supported

The drawcord-adjustable elastic waist cinches to prevent the shorts from riding up; a fit guide states it

prevents the suit from slipping when soakedFit guide for 5-inch inseam swim trunks — drawcord_adjustable_elastic_waist

, and a built-in mesh lining (

Built-in mesh liningstylight.ca

) provides gentle support and retains elasticity after repeated use. Reviewers note the fabric is soft and non-stick, making the shorts easy to pull on. However, the cut is slimmer through the upper thighs and seat, as one buyer reported:

Compared to two other size L swimsuits from Simons’ house brand, this one is a little slimmer through the upper thighs and rear end and that’s why I returned it.Customer review, February 25, 2026

The lightweight polyester and mesh liner also prevent ballooning, keeping the shorts close to the body in water.

Care

Cold wash and line dry; rinsing after use preserves colour and quick drying prevents musty smell.

Why this is supported

Manufacturers recommend washing in cold water without bleach and line drying to preserve the peachskin finish. One source notes,

To take care of it, wash in cold water. Do not use bleach.perfectextile.com

Rinsing with fresh water after chlorine or saltwater maintains color, as stated:

Rinsing with fresh water after use helps maintain color.Do the colors resist fading after repeated exposure to chlorine or saltwater?

Additionally, the polyester fabric's hydrophobic nature makes it

dry remarkably fastyitaifabrics.com

, reducing odor risk. These care steps ensure the shorts' softness and colour longevity.

Liner

The internal mesh liner holds up well with regular washing.

Why this is supported

Reviewers confirm the liner's longevity:

Fabric feels soft yet durable — reviewers highlight quality stitching and a solid liner that holds up after multiple wears.theme

This indicates the liner is built to last.

Drying time

Hydrophobic polyester dries in minutes, reducing machine-drying energy.

Why this is supported

The polyester fabric's hydrophobic nature allows it to

dry remarkably fastyitaifabrics.com

, reducing the need for machine drying and saving energy.

Pocket drainage

Slit pockets lack drainage and closures, suited for lounging, not swimming laps.

Why this is supported

The Q&A confirms:

The pockets are standard slit pockets without additional drainage features.Do the slit pockets have mesh lining and drainage holes to prevent water pooling?

. This lack of drainage means water collects while swimming, but the polyester fabric is hydrophobic and dries quickly:

Polyester is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water.yitaifabrics.com

. The combination makes these shorts better for casual lounging than active laps, and open pockets mean items can fall out.

Pocket lining

Peachskin finish gives the pocket lining a soft, cotton-like feel even when wet.

Why this is supported

The fabric's peachskin finish provides a soft, cotton-like handfeel, reducing skin irritation even when the shorts are wet. This characteristic partially offsets the lack of a mesh lining in the pockets.

Color selection

29 vivid, fade-resistant colors with a matte finish.

Why this is supported

The brand offers 29 color variants across a wide spectrum, from classic navy to vibrant red and pastels.

Color payoff punches above its price — multiple reviewers call out the vivid, photo-accurate hues across the palette.theme

The recycled polyester fabric is resistant to fading from sun and water, and research confirms its UV resistance.

UV Resistance: It offers excellent protection against the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, safeguarding the fabric's color and the wearer's skin.yitaifabrics.com

Surface-level, the matte peached finish keeps the colors looking refined rather than shiny.

Styling

5-inch inseam offers a sporty, modern look that complements bright colors.

Why this is supported

The 5-inch inseam is described as a sportier, modern length that pairs well with bright colors.
