Rip Curl Shorts

The best summer shorts go from the beach to the pub without anyone thinking about it. Rip Curl walkshorts, volleys and casual styles pair comfortable fabric with a cut that works out of the water as easily as beside it, which is why they end up being worn most days once the weather turns.

Rip Curl shorts for beach, travel and everyday

These are the shorts that live in the front of the drawer all summer, chosen for comfort rather than for one specific activity.

Comfortable fabric that softens with wear

Light cotton blends and soft technical fabrics feel good from the first wear and keep getting better, which is exactly why a favourite pair of shorts becomes a favourite pair of shorts.

Volleys and walkshorts do different jobs

Volley styles are cut shorter and looser with an elasticated waist, made for lounging and swimming. Walkshorts and chino styles sit smarter, with a fixed waist and a longer leg for wearing into town.

Pockets that hold the essentials

Secure and well-placed pockets keep a phone, keys and wallet where you can find them, which matters more when a jacket is the last thing you are wearing.

Fits for men and women across the range

Cuts and lengths run across men's and women's styles, so you can pick the leg length and waist that suits how you actually want to wear them rather than settling for whatever is in stock.

Frequently asked questions

What is a volley short?

A volley is a shorter, looser short with an elasticated drawcord waist, borrowed from beach volleyball. It is comfortable, easy to swim in and quick to dry, which makes it the natural choice for a day that drifts between sand and water.

Can I swim in casual shorts?

Volley styles handle it happily and dry quickly. Chino and walkshort styles in cotton will get heavy and take a long time to dry, so if swimming is on the cards, reach for a volley or a proper board short.

How should shorts fit?

Comfortably at the waist with no need for a belt to hold them up, and a leg that ends where you want it, typically just above the knee. Consider whether you want an elasticated or fixed waist, which changes the fit more than the size does.

What is the difference between walkshorts and board shorts?

Walkshorts are made for land, in comfortable fabric with normal pockets and a standard waist. Board shorts are made for the water, with quick-drying fabric, a secure tie waist and no pockets to fill and drag.
