With summer round the corner in some countries and the heat being turned up in others as well, plus size board shorts are definitely a must for all sizes at the beach. Whether just sitting on the sand and being seen, or out doing tricks on the surfboard with the waves crashing down, wearing a comfortable yet eye-catching pair of boardshorts, regardless of the size, is a must. Going to the beach is now as much a fashion activity and catwalk for all aspirants as it is a day out in the sun and sea. With this in mind, here are some recommendations and suggestions for the kind of cheap board short designs that will not look out of place at the beach or even just out having a great time at the mall with family or friends. Most of them also come in plus sizes for both men and women, in various colors and most importantly, have been reviewed to offer all the aspects and details that a good pair will need - comfort, quick dry, easy to wash and maintain.
Maxine of Hollywood Solid Boardshort
This pitch black boardshort is from Maxine of Hollywood and on the surface it may look kind of plain. But black will always be in and is easy to fit with any top that you might consider wearing with the pair. The solid boardshort also has a pair of front pockets and provides women with inline panties which is added protection for your modesty. The nylon/lycra spandex material also provides quick drying features and an active individual will appreciate how important that is, whether swimming, surfing or even running around under the hot sun, despite it being close to a knee length boardie. A nice comfy fit around the thigh areas as well and will be a nice cover for those who may wish to reveal less of the area, while it is also baggy enough by the knees to keep things airy and cool.
District Threads Ladies Contrast Waist Board Shorts
Coming in junior fit but with a large range of sizes, the District Threads have created this Contrast Waist board shorts that are a dream for women. Plus size ladies will rejoice that this simple but elegantly designed shorts can be measured all the way up to 4X. Something different from the more conventional designs from Billabong, Roxy, O'Neil and others, the Contrast Waist board short has style and functionality all rolled into one. Perfect for any occasion.
Girls4Sport Board Short Snag Free
Look sexy, feel cool and avoid any snags when you are decked out in this Girls4Sport board short, plus size or otherwise! Not as well known as the established brands, Girls4Sport however do design and manufacture some of the more unique designs and I really like the nylon lace tie that does away with the velcro, ensuring no snag in any form or way. Some of you might even feel more secure tying a knot instead of the stick-on velcro which might still come off with the strongest wave or tug. Their board shorts are also made of 100% sueded polyester microfiber so you know it is quality through and through. Another unique feature from Girls4Sport is the extra protection from the sun and heat that their shorts have, preventing up to 98% of UVA/UVB sun rays from passively hurting your skin. Lots of colors and sizes available in various designs, coming out in a total package that is quite a bargain.
O'Neill Bali Gals Board Shorts
Described as being one of the best shorts out there for larger sized women due to the design which is not too form fitting to accommodate varying waist sizes, and not too baggy as well otherwise they may drop easily to your knees, the O'Neill Bali Gals board shorts is perfect for both outdoor and indoor activities. With the ultra cool logo emblazoned down the side, these unlined shorts makes use of Dynasuede material which is fast to dry and shows off your curves where required. They don't stick to you when wet and features a superfly closure with tie. Heavy duty which looks trendy and light at the same time.
Columbia Sportswear Men's Cascade Creek II Water Short
For affordable and quality plus size board shorts for men, you cannot go wrong with this one. Size would be the least you'd worry about here, simply because there is nothing that should concern you regarding this Columbia Sportswear product, which should already provide some form of quality guarantee. Men often get involved in many outdoor activities or simply like to move about, and this pair of board shorts (or water shorts as they prefer to call it) provide top functional utility, casual design and everything a guy would like in one. This includes form fit that is still comfortable enough to allow your body to breathe, quick dry feature that is excellent for any activities or work in and around water, and they also have liner briefs which keeps you safe whilst swimming. Many adult males also use it to double up as casual wear that they put on when they go out, be it shopping, a gentle stroll or numerous other activities. Really perfect for those who live in hot or sunny areas.
There's many more funky designs out there for anyone looking for plus size boards whether for men or ladies. Many would opt for the more obvious brands like Billabong, Roxy, Hurley and more. However, there are other less recognizable brands that offer quality designs too and many of them are cheap and inexpensive. They might not come as loud as the more popular ones, but design features and comfort are take care of to a great extent. Some of the common colors include pink and blue boardshorts for the men, while women usually opt for red or pink. Green is another one that looks great at the beach. During the summer months, knee length or 3/4 designs might not be the most ideal since the heat could be kept underneath the materal. It would be best to opt for those that prevent this from happening.
