Why Blauw
One short. Designed to outperform them all.
We rebuilt the swim short from the fabric up — so that your favorite shirt now has a best friend.

Our OceanKnit™ feels like silk — designed for hours of wear, not just a quick swim.

Three times faster than traditional swim shorts. Out of the water, into lunch.

The Fabric
Feels like silk. Performs like nylon.
We took the comfort of premium loungewear and engineered it to swim. OceanKnit™ is woven from recovered ocean plastic into a yarn that's softer, lighter, and dries faster than anything else in your closet.

Don't take our word for it.
True to size. The 5-inch inseam sits just above the knee for a modern, athletic silhouette. If you're between sizes, size up for the best movement.
Yes — that's the entire point. The OceanKnit™ fabric is woven to feel like premium loungewear. No chafing, no stiffness, no swim-trunk crunch. You can absolutely wear them from a morning swim through dinner.
7 minutes on a hanger in a warm wind, even faster in the sun. Three times quicker than traditional swim shorts.
We work our certified partner SEAQUAL® who collects discarded fishing nets and other marine waste directly out of the ocean (not 'ocean-bound plastic'). It's cleaned, shredded, melted into pellets, and spun into yarn. Each pair removes at least the equivalent of 11 plastic bottles from the ocean.
