All Day Short
About Faherty’s shorts: Faherty's shorts span roughly $98-$108 for the recycled-poly All Day Short (the belt-loop version lands around $98, the standard around $108) up to heavier twill and corduroy drawstring styles near $128-$138; the All Day is the coastal-casual quick-dry staple the brand is best known for.
Is the price honest?
Our take
Faherty's All Day Short is the brand's signature warm-weather staple — a quick-dry, water-repellent short cut from a recycled-polyester blend (Faherty's REPREVE-based fabric, with some organic cotton and a touch of stretch) that sits somewhere between a swim short and a casual everyday short. Owners call it one of the most versatile shorts they own: light, fast-drying, breathable, and comfortable enough to wear from the beach to dinner. The honest caveats are that it reads casual-only — the technical, swim-adjacent fabric and relaxed everyday cut mean it won't pass for a tailored chino short — and the price stings for what is, at its core, a recycled-poly performance short. It's offered in 5-, 7-, and 9-inch inseams and in a belt-loop version, so check which one you're actually buying, because the loops and waistband detailing differ.

Write the first honest reviewThe details
- Material
- A recycled-polyester performance blend (Faherty's REPREVE-based fabric) with some organic cotton and a bit of elastane for stretch — quick-drying and water-repellent, with a smooth midweight hand rather than a heavy woven feel.
- Fit
- Faherty's classic everyday short fit, offered in 5-, 7-, and 9-inch inseams; a zipper fly with shank closure plus an interior drawstring, with a separate belt-loop version also available. Generally true to size with a roomy, easy seat.
- Quality
- Clean stitching, mesh-lined pockets, and a durable quick-dry recycled-poly fabric that holds up well to water and repeated wear; the trade-off is that the technical poll-feel reads casual and performance-oriented rather than crisp and tailored, so it won't dress up like a structured chino short.
- Best for
- Beach days, boat days, vacations, and all-day casual wear for anyone who wants a quick-dry, do-everything short over a tailored, dressed-up one.
- Care
- Machine wash cold and hang or tumble dry low — the recycled-poly blend dries fast on its own and skipping high heat protects the water-repellent finish and the small amount of stretch in the waistband.
Fit check: Faherty
True to sizeFaherty fits true to size with a deliberately relaxed cut — take your usual size, and only size down on the roomiest dresses and boxy tees if you're between sizes.
Owners and hands-on reviewers consistently report Faherty running true to size, with the slight ease built into the cut rather than a sign to size down. The relaxed silhouette shows up across lines — tees are described as boxy-but-not-oversized, pants run about a half-inch generous in the waist (not enough to change size), and some dresses and boxier tops read roomy enough that between-sizes buyers go down. A minority of owners find pieces large and boxy at their usual size — one Reddit user had a medium tailored — and a few customer reviews flag garment-to-garment inconsistency, but that's the exception in the feedback, not the pattern.
Sizing advice: Order your usual size across the line; if you're between sizes, size down only on roomy dresses and boxy tees — everywhere else stay true, since the relaxed drape is intentional.
