SolarCool 3" Beach Short

About this find

These unlined shorts are built for time near the water. They're super lightweight and quick-drying, and they absorb moisture, so you can move in and around water without feeling weighed down. The adjustable waistband lets you set your fit, and there are plenty of pockets for keeping small essentials close while you're out and about.

The SolarCool 3" Beach Short also offers UPF 50+ sun protection, which makes it a sensible pick for long hours outside. Because the shorts are unlined, they keep things light and simple. Try them with a plain cotton tee and flip-flops for a relaxed beach look, or layer a loose button-up over them for a walk along the boardwalk.

Pair them with a fitted rash guard or swim top when you're heading into the water, then switch to a dry t-shirt once you're back on the sand. Their quick-drying fabric means you can go straight from a swim to lunch or a stroll without waiting long for them to dry.
