Although the summer is still a month and a half off, many of us are thinking about our vacation time. If you plan on going swimming, you’re going to need plenty of bathing suit options, like these Drawstring Swim Shorts.

Either as a cover-up or as part of your actual bathing suit, swim shorts offer excellent versatility. A drawstring design allows full control over the fit of the garment. Also you can tie the string in a charming little bow. With the wider waistband you can choose to wear these shorts either at your natural waistline or let them ride low toward your hips. Unlike other shorts that tend to bulge up underwater, these swim shorts move with your body. They are fairly formfitting and rather short, however, which some buyers may not like.

Color options are limited to two neutral shades: Black and Brown. Since these colors are both dark, they will have a slight slimming effect on your midsection. Plus as neutral colors they will most likely already match your swimsuit or swimsuit top.

As with most women’s swimwear, these shorts are a smidge pricey at $24.99. That being said, if you already own several swimsuits and you’re just looking for a cover-up, you could definitely get a lot of use out of these neutral colored swim shorts. On the other hand, if you’re going to have to buy a top to go with this garment, the price may not be as easy to justify for budget shoppers.
