Sustainable Swim Trunks and Summerwear

Fair Harbor’s Anchor Shorts are one of the brand’s signature products beloved by customers (they have a 4.9 rating based on more than 22,000 reviews) that come in a whopping 22 different colorways, and three inseam lengths, from a contemporary 6-inch for folks (like me) who like to show some leg to a 10-inch, which hits nearer the knee and offers a more conservative look. I found these swim trunks to provide ease of movement in the water when actually swimming and a stylish look for when you get out (and they dry fairly quickly as well).

The One Short has a timeless design, comes in two different inseam lengths (6- or 8-inches) for a contemporary feel or something with a bit more coverage, and features a built-in compression liner for added comfort that will get you from the beach to brunch. They’re very breathable, have a good bit of stretch, and come in a range of five colors and sizes up to 3XL with a drawstring elastic waist (I’m 6-feet-tall and weigh 175, and the medium size fit me perfectly). They’re very adaptable — I’ve used them for swimming and running, but mostly I wear them as everyday shorts, and in all three cases, they performed well.

The first thing I noticed about the Kismet Tee was the super supple handfeel. The fabric is a blend of organic cotton and recycled polyester that has the right amount of stretch, is breathable, and does a good job of staying crisp-looking without a lot of care. The Kismet Tee comes in 16 colorways, from multi-striped fabrics to nautical-themed graphics and beyond.

This is the perfect lightweight hoodie to throw on when the sun goes down, but you’re not quite ready to leave the beach. Fair Harbor makes it from recycled polyester and Tencel for a breathable and ultrasoft shirt that comes in five colors, but the Navy Ombre Stripe with its throwback ’70s vibes is a standout. The SeaBreeze has become my go-to summer hoodie.

The One Pant is a versatile pair of trousers that are as comfortable as sweats with four-way stretch, a drawstring elastic waist, and breathable fabric that got me through multiple sunny 85F+ days with no problems. But these pants beat sweats hands down since they’re slightly tailored and can be paired with a polo or summer-weight button-up for a smarter look, perfect for a beachside dinner.

There aren’t many cons to consider here. Everything I tested from Fair Harbor performed extremely well. Be sure to follow Fair Harbor’s laundering instructions to keep your clothes looking better longer. The only con I can see is that because the one Short has a built-in liner, you’re going to have to wash them more often than if they were simply shorts, but it’s a small price to pay for how comfortable they are.

All the Fair Harbor clothing I tested was well designed, worked as advertised, and was both comfortable and stylish, making for products worth the price. Additionally, there were no issues over multiple washes or flaws like loose threads that might hasten the clothing’s demise. If you’re looking for beach-ready clothes that are stylish, comfortable, and perform well, Fair Harbor is a shining light in a murky sea of fashion.
