Ocean Blues Plus-Size 3-Inch Boyleg Board Shorts

How short is a 3-inch boyleg? It ends at the top of the thigh, a hand's width below the crotch, the shortest inseam we make, shared with the 3-inch swim shorts in the regular run. The waist is high, with shirring gathered across the front, and the fabric is light and dries quickly. Two plain colourways, black and navy, both cut to go under a tankini top.

The plus row runs L+ to 3XL+. The high band sits at the waist, so measure there, and if you are between two letters, take the larger: shirring takes up a little slack, but a tight waistband on shorts is felt all day. Shirring holds more water than flat fabric, so give these a longer spell on the towel rail than the plain 3-inch shorts.

One of 7 on the swim shorts and skirts rail in the Ocean Blues shelves. It also answers to board shorts, plus size swimwear, tummy control swimwear. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
