What Are Boat Shorts?
Boat shorts are a casual type of short pants typically made from lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, or blends, ideal for warm weather and water-friendly environments. Originally inspired by nautical and preppy styles, boat shorts have evolved into a must-have piece that works for every style-conscious individual looking to add comfort and flair to their summer wardrobe.
Key features often include:
Relaxed or tailored fit
Mid to high-rise waist
Drawstring or button closure
Pockets for functionality
Lightweight, breathable fabric
Perfect for pairing with tank tops, oversized shirts, or bikinis, boat shorts are not only great for boating or beachwear but also suitable for daily summer outfits.
