Reviewing Board Shorts Style

Posted on Sunday, May 10, 2009 in General Fashion News

swimwear swimsuits

Style trends are not just limited to evening gowns and dresses; they apply to swimwear swimsuits as well. And one of the most popular trends is board shorts, as they have come a long way from being just for surfing. Skaters, kayakers, surfers, and windsurfers claim that these boardshorts are great because they are lightweight, fast drying, comfortable and durable. Originally, they were considered to be swimsuits for men, but anyone with an active lifestyle loves them.

Boardshorts started out as mens swimsuits and were the gear to wear for different aquatic sports, such as wakeboarding and surfing. They have since gained quite a bit of popularity, even for those outside of the sporting world. The name originated from any sport that was related to the word board. They are also known as “boardies” and “baggies” as slang terms in other parts of the world. Produced from a nylon or smooth polyester material, they are very durable and hold up well against constant contact with surfboards and salt water. The durability of these suits has always been a big attraction to all water enthusiasts and for those who wear them, the durability is great. Consumers also appreciate the extra attention that the manufacturers have given to the designs in order to make them look trendy and fashionable.

Recently, designers have started making the boardshorts for women and not just men and they have become very popular. They have started to use vibrant colors and Hawaiian floral styles that women love. The board shorts were originally knee length or slightly above and their appearance is actually baggy rather than the form fitting style of Speedo swimwear.

Today, the basic design of boardshorts is still close to the original concept, although some manufacturers started taking advantage of new and innovating technology. Since most of the water enthusiasts wear their boardshorts (sans underwear), a major complaint was the use of Velcro for the fly, as it can be uncomfortable. So many have turned to making the fly out of neoprene, which just allows enough of a stretch to be able to take the shorts on and off fairly easily.

There were other complaints about the suits as well, so manufacturers added a light net like material inside that would take the place of underwear in boardshorts, which many people appreciated. Other users of the board shorts also complained that the stitching on the inseam chafed the skin, making the apparel very uncomfortable. Eventually, the designers and manufacturers went to a seamless design. After all of the improvements, many designers and manufacturers started producing the shorts as well.
