Design Details
Description
Clean summer dressing redefined through intelligent versatility.
The Raphael Swim Short was designed around one simple idea — modern summer clothing should move effortlessly between environments without requiring compromise.
Combining a refined tailored silhouette with lightweight quick-drying performance, it delivers a cleaner and more sophisticated interpretation of luxury swimwear designed for modern travel, leisure and everyday summer dressing.
Responsibly made in Portugal
The Navy Raphael Swim Short delivers timeless sophistication through one of menswear’s most versatile colours. Designed to move seamlessly across coastal settings, travel, city environments and evening occasions, it balances understated luxury with everyday practicality.
WHY IT EXISTS
Most swim shorts are designed purely for the beach.
The Raphael Swim Short was created to solve that problem.
Designed with a tailored appearance and elevated construction, it transitions effortlessly between swimming, lunch, travel, city environments and evening settings without sacrificing comfort, functionality or sophistication.
The result is a garment built around versatility rather than limitation.
