Buying swim shorts in a large size can still be a challenge: most stores offer fewer options than in standard sizes, sizing varies by brand, and you do not always know which style will feel comfortable. In this guide, we explain what to look for - from determining the right size to choosing between a fitted or loose style. Want to shop right away? Check out our plus-size swim shorts; first, we will help you choose below.
Which styles are available in large sizes?
With large sizes, you do not have to compromise on style. We offer:
- Plus-size swim shorts - the versatile classic, ideal for both the beach and the pool. Available in both solid colours and prints. View the swim shorts.
- Plus-size swim boxers - fitted and comfortable; better if you really want to swim laps. View the swim boxers.
- Plus-size swim briefs - for those who want maximum freedom of movement. View the swim briefs.
The complete selection is conveniently grouped in the plus-size swim shorts collection.
Fitted or loose? Consider where you will wear them
Are you going on holiday to France? Keep in mind that in many French public swimming pools, fitted swimwear is mandatory - loose swim shorts are often refused. In that case, choose plus-size swim boxers or swim briefs. For the beach, campsite or swimming pool in your own country, you cannot go wrong with looser swim shorts.
Converting large sizes to standard clothing sizes
Our large sizes go up to 8XL. Unsure which XL size corresponds to your usual clothing size? This table will help you get started:
| Swim shorts size | Standard clothing size |
|---|---|
| 3XL | 58–60 |
| 4XL | 60–62–64 |
| 5XL | 64–66 |
Do you need 6XL, 7XL or 8XL, or do you want to be sure? Measure yourself by following the steps on our size guide page - it explains exactly how to determine the right size.
Big-brand quality without the price tag
Our plus-size swim shorts are every bit as good as well-known swimwear brands in terms of quality and comfort. The material is lightweight, breathable and quick-drying, and details such as a drawstring closure, pockets and an inner brief are standard on most styles. By buying smart and in large quantities, we can offer them at significantly lower prices. This means you do not automatically pay top price for a large size.
How to quickly find your size
The easiest way is to start right away in our dedicated plus-size swim shorts collection - all large sizes are already gathered there for you. Want to narrow it down to your exact size? Use the size filter (on the left on desktop, below the filter button on mobile) and select your size. You can also use the filter within a specific style, such as swim shorts, swim boxers or swim briefs.
