Are BOSS swim shorts made from recycled fabric?

Yes — BOSS swim shorts use recycled polyester fabric as part of BOSS's sustainability targets. The recycled polyester performs identically to virgin polyester in terms of quick-dry performance, colour fastness and shape retention, while reducing the environmental impact of the production process.

How quickly do BOSS swim shorts dry?

BOSS swim shorts typically dry within 20–30 minutes of leaving the water in normal conditions. The quick-dry coating on the recycled polyester weave allows moisture to evaporate rapidly from the surface. Lay flat or hang in a well-ventilated area — draping over a hot sun lounger accelerates drying.

What length are BOSS swim shorts?

BOSS swim shorts are cut to a mid-thigh length — typically around 7–8 inches inseam depending on the style. This sits above the knee for most builds, striking a balance between pool practicality and the ability to pass as casual shorts for beach and resort wear.

What's the difference between Starfish and Swordfish mens BOSS swim shorts?

Both Starfish and Swordfish are core BOSS swim shorts silhouettes. Starfish runs mid-length (sits at upper-thigh, more traditional cut); Swordfish runs slightly shorter (sits above the knee, more modern cut). Both use the same recycled-polyester quick-dry fabric, drawcord waist, mesh liner and side pockets — the difference is purely in leg length.

Are men's Hugo Boss swimwear shorts available in multiple colours?

Yes — the Starfish and Swordfish ranges typically ship in turquoise, open green, black, dark blue and light pastel blue each spring/summer season, plus occasional seasonal prints. Stock and colourway availability rotate with the SS season. The live BOSS Swim Shorts page reflects what we hold today.

What's the difference between BOSS Black and BOSS Green?

BOSS Black is the cleaner, smarter line — mercerised polos, tailored shorts, knitwear, jackets and refined polo shirts cut sharper for smart-casual and lifestyle wear. BOSS Green (now Athleisure) is the athletic/performance line — polos, tracksuits, trainers, performance shorts and casualwear. Pick BOSS Black for smart-casual; BOSS Green for sport, leisure and weekend.
