Swim shorts, the most versatile swimwear

FAQ

What swimming trunks in France?

For people with pale skin, swim trunks in soft colors such as pastel blue, light gray, soft green or light orange can be a flattering choice.

The important thing is to choose a color in which you feel confident and comfortable.

Overall, swimwear is designed to allow us to fully enjoy swimming and other water activities.
