_"When my children came back from the beach one day with sunburnt legs I knew I had to do better, and do more for kids to keep them sun-safe...." - Emily Gradon, Tribe Tropical Founder _
A PERFECT ADDITION TO OUR SHELLY BEACH RANGE, THESE SWIM / ACTIVE SHORTS OFFER STYLE, ADDED SUN-PROTECTION AND MODESTY.
These shorts are fully-lined front & back, and have an adjustable waist tie.
Elegantly tailored, these shorts are designed to be worn with our Shelly Beach Zip-Front Rash Top, or over our Shelly Beach One-Piece Swimsuit, or they can be worn with any of our plain rash guard tops. Being fully lined, these shorts can also be worn in place of a swim brief. Made on high-quality anti-fade fabric, on our exclusive Shelly Beach print.
Super cute with a plain white t-shirt also, these shorts can be worn casually at the park or to gymnastics, or on beach/pool days in the water.
__These shorts look great with a matching hat in the same print!

SIZING
FEEDBACK FROM OTHER PARENTS IS THAT THESE SHORTS RUN: GENERALLY TRUE TO SIZE
OUR SWIMWEAR FOR BABIES, GIRLS, BOYS AND TEENS IS TRUE TO SIZE AND CORRESPONDS TO THE AGE OF THE CHILD, i.e. an average two year old will fit a size 2, and an average 12 year old will fit a size 12 and so on.
Our kids swimwear doesn’t tend to run small from our experience as parents. IF HOWEVER A CHILD IS TALLER THAN AVERAGE OR HAS A SOLID BUILD THEN SIZING-UP WOULD BE RECOMMENDED i.e. a tall 10 year old would be better off in a size 12 suit / top or shorts. For further details please refer to our sizing information page
We offer peace of mind exchanges and returns so if ever the size you chose wasn’t quite right then you’d be welcome to return it. Please see our returns policy info below.
KINDLY NOTE THAT WE DON’T OFFER SIZES 5 OR 7 IN OUR RANGE; sizing up to size 6 or 8, or down to size 4 or 6 is the norm and isn’t usually an issue.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns, we’re always happy to help!

CARE

(if machine-washing please use a garment bag, cold water & low spin cycle)
* Do not wring, rub, soak or bleach swimwear.
* Dry in the shade – never tumble dry.
* Do not leave rolled up wet or store when damp.
* Do not iron or dry clean.
* Take care when dressing as over-stretched zips risk disconnecting or the plastic teeth may break, as can happen with any zip.
