What to expect from the Sunlight Swim Shorts Green
The Sunlight Swim Shorts Green are a new basic model from the HOM swimwear line, replacing the older Marina and Splash lines. They are made from polyamide and elastane, giving them a stretchy, quick-drying feel that works well for active swimming or lounging by the water. The fabric is solid and durable, resistant to friction, and holds color well without fading.
These are lycra swim boxer briefs, so they offer more coverage and support than loose board shorts. The front is doubled with a soft inner lining in polyamide jersey, and the legs have an elastic hem that keeps the trunks firmly on your thighs. A flat drawstring inside the waistband lets you adjust the fit, and a small H metal plate on the waistband adds a subtle brand detail.
Key product facts

How to choose your size
The Sunlight Swim Shorts Green are available in sizes S, M, XL, and XXL. Since they are lycra boxer briefs with a snug fit, consider your usual waist size and how much compression you prefer. The elastic waistband and leg hems provide a secure hold, so if you are between sizes, you may want to go up for a looser feel or down for more support.
The supplied information does not include a size chart or exact measurements, so it is best to compare with other HOM swim trunks you have worn. The fabric has some stretch, but the fit is designed to be close to the body rather than loose.
How to wash your Sunlight Swim Shorts Green
To keep the green color vibrant and the fabric in good shape, follow these washing steps based on the care evidence for polyamide swimwear.
- Rinse immediately after use: Rinse the shorts in cool, fresh water as soon as possible after swimming. Chlorine, salt, and sand can degrade polyamide over time if left to dry on the fabric.
- Hand wash with mild detergent: Use a small amount of mild laundry detergent or a specialized swimwear wash. Gently swish the shorts in cool water, paying attention to the inner lining and waistband. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric.
- Machine wash on a delicate cycle (optional): If you prefer machine washing, place the shorts in a mesh laundry bag and select a cold, delicate cycle. Use a gentle detergent and skip fabric softener, which can coat the polyamide fibers and reduce stretch.
- Never use bleach or harsh chemicals: Bleach and strong stain removers can damage the polyamide and cause the green color to fade unevenly. Stick to mild, color-safe products.
Drying and storing your swim shorts
Proper drying helps the Sunlight Swim Shorts keep their shape and elasticity.
- Air dry flat or hang in shade: After washing, gently squeeze out excess water (do not wring). Lay the shorts flat on a towel or hang them on a line in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Sunlight can fade the green color over time.
- Avoid the dryer and radiators: High heat from a tumble dryer or radiator can damage the elastane fibers, causing the shorts to lose their stretch and fit. Air drying at room temperature is safest.
- Store dry and flat: Once fully dry, fold the shorts and store them in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid leaving them damp in a gym bag or wet pile, as moisture can lead to mildew or fabric weakening.
What the supplied information does not confirm
The available product details do not include a specific size chart, exact inseam length, or manufacturer care tag instructions beyond the general polyamide care advice. The washing and drying steps above are based on the typical care for polyamide swimwear and the supplied evidence that polyamide dries quickly and resists fading. For the best results, always check the care label inside the shorts when you receive them.
If you have questions about fit or sizing for a particular activity, comparing these shorts to another HOM swim trunk model you own can help. The Sunlight line is designed as a basic, everyday swim option with reliable support and color retention.
