The verdict
Fit
Expect the brand's typical mid-thigh relaxed swim cut with an elastic drawstring waist.
Quality
Construction should be adequate for regular swim use; the faded houndstooth print is the main design element rather than a technical fabric feature.
Is the price fair?
At $75 this is on the more accessible end for designer swimwear — a fair price within the tier.
Best for
Someone who wants swim shorts with a pattern that reads less overtly logo-driven.
Care
Rinse in cold water after each wear and air dry.
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.
