Two Shorts, Two Summer Vibes
Both the Athletic Club Relaxed Shorts and the Aloha Hibiscus Shorts are designed for warm-weather comfort, but they serve slightly different style preferences. The Athletic Club shorts lean into a sporty, everyday look with a subtle logo print, while the Aloha Hibiscus shorts make a bolder statement with an all-over tropical floral print. Here's how to decide which one fits your wardrobe.
What the Product Details Tell Us
- Athletic Club Relaxed Shorts: The Athletic Club Relaxed Shorts are made from a lightweight and breathable cotton blend fabric with a subtle logo print, an elasticated waistband with drawcord adjustability, and side pockets. The cotton blend gives a soft, casual feel that's easy to pair with tees and sneakers for everyday wear or light activity.
Athletic Club Relaxed Shorts - Aloha Hibiscus Shorts: The Aloha Hibiscus Shorts are made from a lightweight and breathable linen blend fabric with an all-over tropical floral print, an elasticated waistband with drawcord adjustability, and pockets. Linen blend offers a slightly airier, more textured feel that suits beach days, vacations, or any look where you want a standout print.
Aloha Hibiscus Shorts
Fabric and Feel
The Athletic Club Relaxed Shorts use a cotton blend, which is a familiar, soft choice for lounging or running errands. Cotton tends to hold its shape well and feels comfortable against the skin. The Aloha Hibiscus Shorts use a linen blend, which is known for its superior breathability and a slightly crisp texture that softens with wear. Linen also dries faster than cotton, making it a practical pick for humid days or trips near water.
