Down By the Sea | 100% Natural Cotton | M's NON-Elastic Waist Board Shorts | 3 Lengths

A Little Aloha. A Lot of Saltwater Soul.

Some prints just belong near the water. Down by the Sea gets its classic surf DNA from big, overlapping hibiscus blooms—the kind of bold tropical floral that brings to mind vintage aloha shirts, longboards, and beach towns where shoes are optional. Layered petals give it an easy, rolling rhythm, with enough attitude to hold its own from the first beach stop to the last round.

A longtime workhorse in our line, this one keeps earning its place in the weekend bag. Salt in the air. Sun on your shoulders. Nowhere you need to be in a hurry.

THE COLORS

Charcoal: Inky black, smoky slate, and warm oyster white bring a little after-dark swagger to the tropics. Bold blooms, cool neutrals, and the mood of a moonlit shoreline—equally at home beside blue water or beneath the lights of your favorite beach bar.

Sea: Deep ocean blue, weathered teal, and pale sea-glass blue mingle with black for a palette pulled straight from the coast. Think shallow coves, offshore water, and that last cool shade beneath the palms. Rich, relaxed, and full of saltwater soul.
