Plus Size Board Shorts

When one thinks of plus size board shorts, the images of the ones wearing them might not be flattering. However, individuals who need to wear plus size board shorts will actually look much better in them, as they not only look more colorful and trendier, but also helps to give them a sportier and healthy appearance, which is not too bad at all. In short, unlike what some might think, wearing such apparel does more good than harm, and it is why it is hugely recommended and a very popular choice and decision for both ladies and men.

For the women, they are more fashion and self conscious, so these shorts in sizes that fit the bigger women are like heaven sent. They do not look bad in any way, and with so many varied designs available nowadays from different brands, the ladies are spoilt for choice and get to look good at the same time. There are also different types of materials and purposes, such as plus size quick dry shorts for those who like a dip in the ocean or pool. They allow the wearers to lose the water and moisture fast once they step out of the wet areas. When it comes to fashion board shorts they are also produced in plus sizes since not everyone goes to the beach and it has since become commonplace for such apparel to be worn as part of casual attire.

The male are not left out either as men's plus size board shorts are the main focus for most brands in terms of the heavier set market. There are more men than women who turn to the shorts as part of any form of attire they wear out, not just at the beach. Plus size board shorts for men and women are also leaving the cash registers ringing constantly due to a growing number of big individuals who are more comfortable with their bodies and do not worry about putting on clothes that actually help celebrate their place in society. It helps them to understand that there is nothing to be ashamed of, as long as they are healthy and happy.

What are some of the ladies board short plus size that you can buy, wear and look great in? Some of the brands that should be checked out and are highly recommended include Hurley, Billabong (as always), Roxy and O'Neill. The men's O'Neill Sensation is a great boardshort that would be even better if they had made one for the females. A friend of mine loves the Hurley plus size board shorts as they often come up with designs that she prefers, not too loud but in the right mix of colors that make her stand out in a flattering manner. They are also quite cheap for apparel of that type and allow her to save quite a bit of extra money that can be used on other accessories such as beach tops or shades. I still remember the time when she bought three Hurley pairs rather than a more expensive one from another brand, and in turn the cash she saved from that sale was enough to buy a pair of plus size Hawaiian surfer shorts, which complimented the other attire she was about to put on for the beach that day.

In general, plus size Billabong board shorts seem to be the most popular for both men and women. It helps when they are very consistent in coming up with new designs not just seasonally, but within shorter periods of time. The new releases are often in line with the current times and make the wearer look totally in with the hippest crowd at the beach or out on the malls. Billabong also has cheap board shorts for plus size individuals for sale regularly and my friends and I have been snapping them up consistently the past few years. Not only do we manage to grow our collection for rotation, but the new ones will always take priority when we make our way to impress the crowds.

One particular brand that I really like are the plus size Roxy board shorts for women. They have a large variety in terms of the makes and lengths, such as knee length or surfing shorts which are slightly different but mostly are hardly differentiable from the traditional designs. I tend towards a contrasting set of colors and if there are designs that incorporate such a clash, it usually falls into my hands and gets moved into my current wardrobe. For example, a pair of pink and blue women's plus size board shorts will be ideal as the colors are the major ones yet allows me to mix and match well with any top or accessory. Pink goes well with anything for ladies and blue is synonymous with everything by the sea.

Board Shorts In The Modern World

Board shorts are now not only a mainstay in beach wear, but also a regular sight in casual attire and other forms of sports wear. These semi length trouser shorts are baggy in dimension, extend to just below the knees and are usually not lined. From its birth as a swimming attire for most surfers and wakeboarders, board shorts are now used in many other situations and fashion attire.

They were adopted due to the flexibility it allows fighters of various martial arts, they can kick and move around with ease and comfort wearing such knee length shorts.

It is complemented by another polyester liner that is smooth and hangs loosely to help with activities that might require a lot of contact. And with everything in place, Patagonia shorts also have the requisite characteristic of drying extremely fast.

Board Shorts - What Are They?

What are board shorts? To some, they look no different from bermudas or knee length trousers. Some might even regard them as khaki pants. But they are more than that, and have become a popular fashion item all over the world.

Board shorts come in many forms, and there are designs for both men and women. These shorts look like a balance between slightly longer than knee length shorts and swimming shorts. The name came about from regular use by surfers, wakeboarders and the likes who spend a lot of time in surf sports.

This form of pants has gone beyond just a necessity for surfers. Board shorts are now a bona fide fashion item, with many designs and brands for both men's and women's board shorts. The popular ones include Billabong, Hurley, Roxy, Quiksilver, Volcom, Reef, Oakley, Rip Curl, O Neill and many many more.

Not only can they be used at the beach, many wear board shorts to swimming pools. Most surfers will sport these swimwear, and many others use them in various kinds of different sports. The characteristics of it being light, comfortable and quick to dry have attracted a large following with people from all ages and sports. It is not surprising to see them being worn even on the streets, as they are a part of modern casual wear.

How are these shorts made that have led to their surging popularity? Many surfers and beach goers engage in lots of activities that involve stretching, running and going against heavy waves and currents. What they do wear must be made of strong and lasting material that can withstand such wear and tear. Board shorts feature reinforced stitching to protect the wearer in such situations. Velcro is also a constant material used in various parts of the pants, to keep it in place. The rest of it are usually made in polyester, although there are other material types used. But the ever reliable polyester is the choice for most, since they keep the shorts light and do not get heavy when water is absorbed. Polyester also makes them more durable especially under heavy duress from water sports.

Women's board shorts are also quite popular. For most of them, they find them much more comfortable than traditional ladies' swimwear. Not only are the shorts light, but they do not cling too tightly to their bodies and that is a different experience and sensation. Board shorts for women usually look best in light and bright colors, such as pink , blue and yellow.

Where can you find board shorts for sale at cheap prices? There are mainly two ways to do this. One, is to find a factory outlet nearby that sells them at huge discounts. Unfortunately, this is quite difficult for most people as these outlets are only found in certain areas. The second way and more popular method, is to find board shorts online. There are many online shops that sell them at significant discounts, even for the latest designs from popular brands like Billabong, Hurley and Roxy. It is difficult to get them at the same price in normal retail shops, as they are marked up to make the shops more profit. The lower overhead for online stores allows them to sell the casual sports pants at reduced prices.

For example, there are 2008 Volcom board shorts on sale now as the new season's fashion line is inevitably introduced. Online stores will be eager to sell their previous selection at discount prices which should be a good buy for anyone wanting to improve their wardrobe and have a few new pieces of casual or beach wear. This will apply to the many other brands and the other day we saw a Rip Curl women's board shorts outlet that was selling their existing stock at prices that were half their original retail prices and that amounts to almost a 50% discount which should be a great bargain for anyone. While we are more inclined to Roxy fashions, we thought the sale was too good to pass by and got a few pieces for friends and families as we phoned them up for orders on the spot.
