Green & Pink Longline Swim Shorts

We make sustainable, long lasting UPF50+ fashion. It will cost you less over time, and less per wear, than cheaply made fast fashion.

1. Premium Quality: Our garments are spun from premium quality fabrics. We use high performance, cutting edge technology fabrics, with superior durability and quality compared to competitor fabrics.

Our fabric is engineered to stay looking good for longer, and to last season after season, wear after wear. That means fewer replacements over time - so the actual cost per wear is much lower than fast fashion alternatives that will end up in landfill all too soon.

2. Local ethical production: Our garments are proudly made to the highest standards in Melbourne, Australia by our Ethical Clothing Australia accredited manufacturer. This means high quality control standards apply to all our garments, and it supports local makers who are paid fairly, in safe, clean working conditions. Ethical manufacturing costs more than offshore mass production, but it's a non-negotiable for us. When you buy with us, you're not just buying a garment, you're backing a more ethical fashion industry, local makers and the local economy.

3. Versatlle: Our garments aren't built for throwaway fashion cycles. They're timeless, versatile pieces designed to move with you and not just on the beach - they work whether you're paddling, parenting, or just out and about. Our garments are UPF50+ swimwear that double as UPF50+ activewear and casual wear. This is slow fashion done right: fewer pieces, better quality and a lighter footprint on the planet.

4. Sustainable fashion: Sustainability starts with longevity. When you choose garments that last, you're helping reduce textile waste and overproduction. The "buy less, buy well philosophy" supports a more sustainable future - and gives you something you can feel good about wearing, again and again.

5. Investment in your skin: Our garments are an investment in your skin and long term health. For more about the risks of skin cancer and premature ageing caused by sun exposure over time, see more on our About Us page.

6. Confidence: Our customers consistently tell us our garments are more comfortable and flattering on real women's bodies, compared to standard rashguards. They help you look good and feel great - we want you to feel happy, relaxed and confident on the beach and in the sun.

Our garments are proudly made in Melbourne, where we live and work, by our Ethical Clothing Australia accredited manufacturer.

UPF50+ is the highest rating for sun protection in clothing. It stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of UPF50+ means the fabric blocks at least 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Our fabric has been independently tested and rated as UPF50+ (Excellent Protection) according to the Australian Government Standard (AS4399:2020) by ARPANSA (the Australian Government Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency). UPF50+ is the highest level of protection, so you can enjoy the outdoors with confidence knowing you're protected.

In contrast, a standard cotton shirt or tee generally has a UPF rating of around 5. Not solid sun protection, and doesn't even meet the "minimum" protection rating of 15! Think about that next time you see someone throw on a cotton tee at the beach.

In addition, our garments are designed to provide excellent body coverage while still looking flatteringly cute - even our short sleeve tees have sleeves that cover most of the upper arm, our neckline is not gapey (or tight) and we have a lovely flattering torso length for extra coverage.

Unlike sunscreen, UPF clothing doesn't wear off or need reapplying. It's built into the fabric offering consistent protection wherever it covers your skin.

But even with the strongest UPF50+ protection, you are not invincible to UV exposure - seek shade and wear sunscreen on exposed areas. We provide a gorgeous piece of your sun safe armoury.

We adopt standard Australian sizing. You can choose the best size for you by referring to our Sizing Guide that provides a conversion table to all major country size systems.

The Sizing Guide is conveniently available as a pop up on the page of each product.

Our longline shorts are designed for intentional length and volume, in a classic Bermuda short style, and are true to size - so if your standard shorts size is a size 12, go for our Size Medium. In Australian sizing:

XS = Size 6-8
S = Size 10
M = Size 12
L = Size 14
XL = Size 16.

Our model wears a size S and is an Australian size 10 and 181cm tall.
