The verdict
Fit
Swim shorts are designed for snug, quick-dry fits; synthetic fabric will hold the cut through chlorine. Typical swim sizing, likely true to size with drawstring adjustment.
Quality
Synthetic recycled fabric at $21 is budget swimwear. Recycled synthetics are environmentally intentional but less durable than virgin polyester; expect fading and elasticity loss after 1-2 seasons.
Is the price fair?
Budget pricing for a functional swim short. Sustainability is part of the appeal at this price tier; durability is secondary.
Best for
Eco-conscious swimmers or those wanting an inexpensive, casual swim short that works for seasonal use.
Care
Rinse in fresh water after chlorine or salt; hang-dry to prevent elasticity loss in heat.
What owners report about Everlane shorts
Owners and reviewers mostly cover the chino-style shorts and the sport shorts. The cotton-elastane chino shorts are described as soft and comfortable for everyday summer wear, but durability reports are mixed: reviewers note stitching coming undone, pilling, and fabric wearing out quickly in high-friction spots like pockets and seams, and lighter colors can be slightly see-through. The sport shorts are moisture-wicking and quick-drying, and carry a 365-day guarantee under which the brand replaces them free if they get a hole or lose their shape.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently praise the soft, stretchy fabric and all-day comfort of the chino shorts, and the sport shorts' unusually long replacement guarantee.
- Watch out for
- Stitching coming undone and fabric wear or pilling in high-friction areas are the most-reported failures, and lighter colors can be somewhat see-through.
- Sizing
- Reviewers report the chino shorts run slightly small, so sizing up is commonly advised if between sizes.
