The Perfect White Swim Short? David Gandy Thinks So
by Adriano Batista
There’s something about a white swim short. It’s simple, but it’s not easy. Too sheer, and it’s a disaster. Too stiff, and it loses that effortless appeal. Too long, and it’s dad-core; too short, and suddenly you’re in Baywatch territory. David Gandy, the man who turned white swim shorts into a signature look, thinks he’s nailed it with his latest release: The Iconic White Swim.
Priced at £95, these limited-edition shorts are Gandy’s take on the perfect balance, tailored enough to look polished but relaxed enough to sell the fantasy that you just happened to wander off a yacht. The matte fabric is thick enough to avoid any awkward transparency, with subtle navy piping and a clean drawstring waist. The cut is short, but not too short, landing in that sweet spot where it feels classic rather than retro or try-hard.
They come with Wellwear’s UPF40 protection, because even Gandy knows that sunburn isn’t a good look. What they don’t come with? His abs, his jawline, or that perpetually windswept hair. But if you’ve ever wanted to borrow a little of his summer style, this might be the closest you’ll get.
