Make a Summer Splash with Boys Boardshorts
Boardshorts are the hero of boys swimwear because they do it all. Longer length for extra coverage, a secure waist for wave chasing, and lightweight fabric that dries fast so he’s not sitting in soggy shorts. Our boys board shorts in sizes 2–10 bring bold prints and classic solids—so you can match siblings, mix with swim shirts, or keep it simple for summer camp. Prefer a shorter cut? Our swim shorts give that retro, above-the-knee look with all-day comfort. Add a rash guard when the sun’s high, and you’ve got a set that works from the pool to the boardwalk.
We design with real life in mind. Adjustable waists help you dial in the fit for growing bodies (especially handy in sizes 2–10). Soft, quick-dry fabric means less shiver time after a dip. Smooth liners on select swim shorts keep things comfortable without bulk. You’ll see prints kids love—dinosaurs, palms, stripes, tie-dye—plus clean, athletic color blocks that play nice with graphic tees and hoodies for the ride home. Board shorts or swim shorts, they’re made to move with him—never against him.
Want a little extra coverage? Our rash guard tops pair with any board shorts for an easy sun-smart kit. Short-sleeve for breezy days, long-sleeve for long sessions. Zip-front styles make on-and-off a snap for younger kids in the 2–6 range, while pullovers keep it streamlined for active 7–10s. Everything’s built for splash, swim, and chill.
How to style a boys board shorts for a vacation look?
Vacation packing, simplified. Start with a pair of boys board shorts in a print he loves, then spin a week’s worth of outfits around them. For beach mornings, match the shorts with a coordinating rash guard—long-sleeve if you’re clocking serious sun, short-sleeve if you’re hopping between the pool and the snack bar. In sizes 2–10, look for adjustable waists so the fit stays comfy whether he’s sprinting to the waves or napping in the shade.
For the boardwalk or lake-town stroll, throw on a soft graphic tee or a breezy linen-style shirt open over the rash guard. It’s an instant “vacay mode” set that still feels like him. Slide sandals or water shoes keep it easy in and out of the water; a baseball cap or bucket hat and sunglasses finish the US summer look without trying too hard. Headed from pool to dinner? Swap the rash guard for a clean white tee and add a lightweight zip hoodie when the evening breeze kicks in.
Color-wise, think mix-and-match. A solid navy or black board short plays well with every top in his suitcase. If you’re going bold—say, neon or a tropical print—anchor the rest with neutral tees and a simple hat. For siblings in sizes 2–10, pick one print story and let each kid choose their cut: board shorts for the big kid, shorter swim shorts for the little, matching rash guards for both. The photos? Very postcard.
Travel tip for getaways: pack two sets. One board shorts + rash guard combo for action days (water parks, surf lessons), and one lighter swim short + tee pairing for chill pool hangs. That way there’s always a dry backup ready, no rush-drying over hotel chairs.
Can boys board shorts be washed in the washing machine?
Short answer: yes. Long answer: yes—with a few smart moves to keep them looking fresh all summer. Rinse board shorts and swim shorts in cool water after every swim to lift chlorine, salt, and sunscreen. When it’s time for a proper clean, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Tie drawcords and close any fastenings so they don’t snag. Skip bleach and fabric softener; they’re tough on swim fabrics and can mess with the quick-dry feel.
Air dry is your friend—hang them in the shade and they’ll be ready for the next splash fast. If you’re in a rush and the care label allows, tumble dry low, but avoid high heat. No ironing needed. For rash guard tops, treat them the same way: rinse, cold wash, and air dry to help maintain stretch and color. Always check the care tag, especially for younger sizes 2–6, which might get washed more often after sandy playground pit stops.
Bottom line: take care of your boys swimwear, and it’ll take care of your summer. Whether he’s body surfing on the West Coast, dock jumping in the Midwest, or crushing pool party season on the East Coast, our board shorts, swim shorts, and rash guard tops in sizes 2–10 bring comfort, coverage, and color without the fuss. Real clothes for real kids, ready for every summer plan you’ve got.
