The verdict
Fit
Expect a mid-length, relaxed fit typical of the brand's swimwear, with an adjustable drawstring waist.
Quality
Should hold up fine for casual swim and beach use; the logo print is the design focus rather than any technical performance feature.
Is the price fair?
At $85 this sits comfortably in the mid-tier for designer swimwear and is reasonably priced for the category.
Best for
Someone who wants clearly branded swimwear without paying for a metallic or novelty finish.
Care
Rinse after swimming and air dry rather than machine drying.
What owners report about Diesel shorts
Trustpilot reviewers for the diesel.com storefront report recurring construction problems on Diesel's shorts and denim: one buyer specifically noted 'seams come away on shorts' after normal wear, and others describe sizing as inconsistent from one order to the next, needing multiple reorders to land on the right fit. Design-wise, reviewers consistently call out the line's hand-finished washes and hardware -- engraved rivets, embossed patches, metal logo trims -- as its most distinctive strength. The recurring complaint isn't initial fit or styling but durability: reviewers say the shorts don't hold up as long as the price would suggest.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently point to the hand-finished washes and hardware details -- engraved rivets, embossed leather patches, metal logo trims -- as the line's most distinctive strength.
- Watch out for
- Trustpilot reviewers report seams coming apart on the shorts and general material failure with normal wear, despite the premium price point.
- Sizing
- Consider sizing up if you're between sizes -- reviewers report Diesel running small and sizing being inconsistent from one order to the next.
