Product Insights
Simons' Fine Crochet Short is an exclusive Canadian-designed swimwear cover-up at $39, made from a breathable 70% cotton, 30% polyester openwork knit that is deliberately sheer to reveal a bikini bottom underneath. Its covered elastic pull-on waistband slides easily over a damp swimsuit without chafing, while side vents create a breezy, skirt-like drape over swimwear. The short transitions from beach cover-up to brunch piece when paired with a button-down, and matching crochet tops are sold separately to build a coordinated set. The main tradeoff is that the unlined knit requires intentional layering over a swimsuit or lining, limiting standalone wear, but the comfortable fit, versatility, and price matching generic alternatives make it a practical choice.
Verified claims
- Sheerness
- Unlined openwork knit is deliberately sheer, revealing any bikini bottom beneath
- Drape
- Short side vents create a breezy, skirt-like drape over swimsuits
- Care
- Covered elastic waistband slides on over a damp swimsuit easily, won't chafe, and hand washing preserves shape
- Material
- 70% cotton, 30% polyester blend with openwork knit breathes better than typical acrylic crochet shorts
- Styling
- Simons offers matching crochet tops separately, so you can build a coordinated set
- Fit
- Low-rise, short-inseam fit with a stretchy covered elastic waistband and side vents.
- Provenance
- Simons exclusive designed in Canada.
- Waistband
- Covered elastic pull-on waistband sits comfortably without digging, even over a damp swimsuit.
- Construction
- Covered elastic waistband and side vents, rare at $39, improve comfort and fit.
- Exclusivity
- Simons exclusive designed in Canada at $39, same price as generic alternatives.
- Silhouette
- Side vents and openwork create a flowing, non-clinging silhouette.
- On and off
- Slips on over a damp bikini without zippers or buttons.
- Versatility
- Goes from beach cover-up to brunch piece with a button-down.
- Sizing
- Sell separately: mix different sizes for top and bottom.
- Sizing conversion
- Simons' alpha sizing maps XS to US 4, S to US 6, M to US 8, and L to US 10, so buyers accustomed to numeric sizing can select their usual size.
- Breathability
- The fine openwork crochet creates ventilation channels that let air flow through the shorts, so they feel cooler and drain warm humid air over a swimsuit.
- Drying and storage
- Dry the shorts flat on a towel and store them folded flat in a drawer rather than hanging, so the crochet doesn't stretch and the elastic waistband keeps its shape.
- Stain care
- Treat sunscreen or oil stains by dabbing with mild soap and blotting gently rather than rubbing, to avoid roughening the cotton fibers or fraying the openwork.

Boho vacation styling over swimwear
Wear this fine open-crochet short as part of a beach or vacation look, layered over a darker bikini for a romantic boho feel. The open knit is semi-sheer with an airy eyelet texture, so swimwear worn underneath shows through. It also comes as a matching set with an open-knit cream top, as shown in the product photos.[2,3,4,5]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Fine Crochet Short: Choose this if you want a semi-sheer open crochet short to layer over swimwear for a relaxed boho vacation look—it has a covered elastic waistband, a low rise, a short inseam, and a slightly relaxed fit through the hips and thighs, in a stretch cotton blend of 70% cotton and 30% polyester. Note that the knit is see-through, so a dark bikini or underlayer will be visible beneath, and the matching top is sold separately. It comes in Off White, Chocolate/Espresso, and Teal, each in X-Small through Large.[1,2,3,4,5] | Scalloped-Trim Crochet Short: Choose this if you want crochet-knit beachwear bottoms with a boho look: a recycled cotton-blend crochet knit (60% reprocessed cotton, 40% acrylic) with scalloped trim at the leg hems, a ribbed elasticized drawstring waist accented with small beads, and a relaxed, above-the-knee silhouette that sits at the waist over the hips. It suits shoppers who like open-knit texture and want to pair it with the matching crochet top, sold separately. Note the knit is open and tightly crocheted as shown in product images, so coverage depends on your comfort with crochet-style fabrics.[6,7,8,9,10] | Scalloped-Trim Crochet Wide-Leg Pant: Choose this if you want a high-waisted, full-length crochet beach pant with a relaxed wide leg, elastic drawstring waist, side pockets, and a decorative scalloped hem. It is a Simons exclusive made from a recycled cotton-blend crochet knit (60% reprocessed cotton, 40% acrylic) with a faux-semi-precious stone charm on the drawstring, and a matching top is available. Note that the legs extend to the floor with a pooling hem, and it is sized from X-Small to X-Large.[11,12,13] |
