Black Swim Shorts

Black swim shorts – a multi-tasking essential

Whether you’re dipping your toes into the turquoise waters of some sun-drenched paradise or doing early morning laps at your local pool, a pair of black swim shorts are a gym kit and holiday bag essential. Classic, clean-lined and packed full of handy features, the adidas range of swim shorts in black offers comfort and style both in and out of the water.

A colour that works harder

Black is a timeless fashion colour choice for one very good reason: it flatters every skin tone. Plus, if you’re hand luggage only, black is a colour that just works harder – after you’ve dried off, a pair of swim shorts in black can be easily teamed with your favourite t-shirt or shirt for the beach, bar, or wherever the day takes you.

Choosing the right swim short

Swim shorts might seem like a simple purchasing decision, but there’s a lot more to this waterside staple than meets the eye. The right pair of swimmers can keep you comfy and stylish from day til night. The wrong pair of swim shorts, however, can have you making some soggy - and seriously awkward - poolside adjustments. adidas black swim shorts have an inner mesh brief to keep you supported and secure through every crawl and every stroke. For optimum comfort, the elasticated drawcord waist is super easy to adjust and gives you the perfect fit every time. adidas black swim shorts also feature either front or side pockets for your locker or hotel key, plus they’re made with recycled polyester, so they’ve got your eco credentials covered too.

Dive right in

If you’re of average height or taller, a classic pair of swim shorts cut off just above the knee are your smart-casual go to. For shorter men, a higher cut combined with the iconic adidas applied 3-Stripes can help elongate your legs. And if you're a watersport enthusiast or you enjoy throwing yourself down waterslides or chasing after volleyballs, then extra short black swimmers will give you the freedom of movement to dive right in.
