I'm just not willing anymore to wear the super revealing standard bathing suit bottoms which are not in any way flattering or comfortable. So I was looking for a pair of swim shorts and these fit the bill. Love them! They fit well (as expected), are comfortable and seem high quality. Would purchase again.

These shorts are comfortable, light weight and stylish! Great summer short! I will wear this with a bright white or tangerine top
Julie –
These shorts and really comfortable, and wash up nicely.

These shorts are great! The fabric is comfortable to wear and doesn’t wrinkle. The drape is flattering and the fit was true to size. Happy I bought 2 pair!

I bought these shorts because they looked identical to a pair that I already had and purchased from here (LL Bean) but they are vastly different in fit, style and feel. I could not find the style # of those that I already had. The side pockets with the elastic in the back of the shorts makes them stick out very unattractively for my body shape. The other shorts I have are more flattering and fit perfectly. These make me feel frumpy. Sadly, I may be returning them.

Lightweight, attractive and useful pockets!!! I have been looking for this type of replacement shorts for some I loved but are no longer available. I am thrilled with these!
Deb M –
Can’t wait to wear these shorts this summer, so comfortable!
Cody –
Very comfortable and look great as regular shorts or as swimwear. I just wore them in Florida & was happy I had them!

I usually buy a 16, but based on the size chart, I bought 16 and 18. Couldn’t believe how big they were. So I bought 12 and 14. Both were still too big, but the 12 is closer. I’d really like a 10, gasp surely not an 8, but no time left before I head to the beach. Very disappointed. I’ll have to be careful a wave doesn’t take them off.

Versatile option for travel, comfortable. No inner swim pants. May run a bit small.
Paula –
I haven’t really worn them yet, but I really like the fabric, fit, pockets!
Robin –
A great fit, a great feel. Water rolls offjust like on a duck’s back! Great for paddle boarding and other water sports where you can go from land to waterand backwithout changing or covering up.

I bought three pairs of these this year. Best shorts ever! They go anywhere! Excellent fabric, colors, style, fit, length, laundry speed, can’t say enough about these shorts! Thank you L.L. Bean for an outstanding product!

I love the shorts so much I Gave #5. BUT, only wish they had a liner inside as in a bathing suit bottom. I looked at others and these shorts I felt comfortable in and I forgive it, but I will look into getting a black mid waist suit bottom in place of my underwear. The pockets are good to have, including the zip back one! Nice & light.
LoLoJ –
Like the swim shorts; however, the design is more of a man’s short versus a woman’s as listed.
Maggie –
Nice quality, but run large. Purchased medium, and returned for a small, which are still a bit big.
Alice –
Very nice fit and true to size. Like the pockets and versatility of these shorts!
BeesandTrees –
I’m 5″8, 185 lbs, not fit. I carry my weight in the thighs, butt, and waist, in that order. I ordered a size 14 and it fits great. The elastic waistband is very forgiving and comfortable to wear for hours. I could have probably gone down a size in the waist, but the 14 is perfect to accommodate my thighs and not have the side pockets pouch out. Wish I had these shorts 10 years ago!
JD A –
Love the material but I felt they ran a little large I guess maybe it was the elastic in the waist. Did not have time to do an exchange and go down a size so I returned them.
Dawn –
The shorts are not quick drying. The waist band rolled. I will not buy them again.
Cookie –
I like the shorts. They fit good and the fabric is light for summer. Only issues is if you wear as a bathing suit bottom, there is no liner so your going commando. I wear now as shorts.
Julie –
True to size. Cool material. Comfortable. I’m wearing them every day like a uniform 😉
ShoreGal –
The best lightweight shorts for the entire summer! Perfect for everyday use from daily wear, shopping, at the beach, long walks & more. Wash on delicate cycle & dry on medium. Never wrinkles and packs perfectly in a carry-on. My absolute favorite article of clothing this year! Highly recommend this shorts!
Rocky –
Absolutely lovely shorts I have a blue and a black pair already but I didn’t realize they came in different links I always wait till I get beatbox and then splurge on myself definitely love the shorter length beautiful color I have another one waiting in my cart for my next being buck spending spree!!
Dido –
These shorts were just not for me. Very boxy looking – was hoping for a bit more shape to them.
