The sheer issue is why I'm avoiding the white pair.</p> <p>I don't swim in pools, and in fact, I really don't swim at all now (due to an ear issue) so I like board shorts for modesty when wading in the water or playing on the beach with the kids.</p> <p>I'm going to try them, anyway...and yes, I have no idea why they offer 6 million shorty short skirts (which barely cover the crotch) as if that's a solution for anyone??? Sleek, yes, even sexy board shorts would be fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/board-shorts-or-swim-shorts-for-those-looking#post-157853 Mon, 17 May 2010 23:51:57 +0000 NK 157853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I saw the Lands' End board shorts in the catalog and I thought it said they were for use as a cover up instead of for actual swimming. (Oh, I found it on the website. Click on the 'more info' tab.) I wasn't sure what they meant by that, you know? Will they be too sheer when wet? Will they not hold up to the chlorine? Either way, they're pretty nice looking.</p> <p>I wore a pair of cheapo running shorts as board shorts for quite some time and they held up okay, so I don't know how worried I'd be that these couldn't handle it.</p> <p>I just don't understand why there aren't more options available because I'm sure there are a ton of women out there just like me who want to cover their thighs, (and not just the top 3-5 inches of their thighs) when they go swimming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/board-shorts-or-swim-shorts-for-those-looking#post-157842 Mon, 17 May 2010 23:06:11 +0000 wilson 157842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to give these a whirl too!
