Westlake Retro Swim Shorts Black

THESE SHORTS ARE RUBBISH

And that’s exactly why they matter.

Crafted from SEAQUAL® yarn—made using upcycled marine plastic—the Westlake Swim Short proves that good design doesn’t need to cost the earth. With a nod to classic lifeguard kits and 60s surf silhouettes, they combine vintage style with a modern sense of responsibility.

Built for summer in motion, they’re lightweight, quick-drying, and cut with just the right amount of structure. Whether you’re swimming, sailing, or hitting the beach bar, these shorts are designed to go the distance—and leave less behind.

SUSTAINABILITY

The Westlake is made using SEAQUAL®—a certified yarn produced from marine plastic recovered through global clean-up programmes. Every pair helps reduce ocean waste while supporting a circular model of design. It's a small step, but a meaningful one—for those who believe clothes should be made well and made with purpose.

ORIGINS

Swimwear has always walked the line between function and freedom. From the heavy wool suits of the 1920s to the tailored nylon trunks of the jet-set 60s, each era has brought its own take on beachwear.

The Westlake draws on the practicality of mid-century lifeguard uniforms and military training shorts—pared-back, rugged, and made for movement. It’s a timeless shape, reimagined with modern materials and a mission to do better.
