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, 2026Another reviewer highlighted the tradeoff, stating the shorts are
The right length. Short to show off quads!
Customer review, August 15, 2025confirming 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 expected
Customer review, April 3, 2026while 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 longer
airswimwear.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.comAdditionally, 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.comThe built-in mesh lining further enhances performance by preventing ballooning, as confirmed by the product description mentioning
Built-in mesh lining
stylight.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.comSimilarly, 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.comThe 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.comHowever, 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.

stylight.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:

Customer review, February 25, 2026The 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.comRinsing with fresh water after chlorine or saltwater maintains color, as stated:

dry remarkably fast
yitaifabrics.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.
