OAS Forest Waver Swim Shorts

Product Insights & Style Tips

The OAS Forest Waver Swim Shorts nail that relaxed, jet-set energy that Swedish label OAS is known for—laid-back yet graphic, channeling weekend escapes and spontaneous saltwater dips. Rendered in a crisp cream and army palette, the lightweight polyester feels easy and fast-drying, a fabric built for sunlit afternoons and warm nights by the water. The vibe is effortless but intentional, equal parts understated cool and utilitarian edge, with subtle wave motifs recalling Scandinavian minimalism filtered through coastal daydreams.

With a pull-on elastic waistband and drawcord, these swim shorts adapt easily to your pace, whether you’re jumping from pool to patio or layering over boxers for all-day lounging. The cut is relaxed but not oversized, hitting a sweet spot that moves with you but won’t lose its shape post-swim. Three pockets offer more than just a nod to utility—they actually fit keys, cards, or that room key—without bulking out the silhouette. These swim shorts slide smoothly under a linen overshirt for a coffee run or pair with a retro camp collar when the day stretches long past sunset.

OAS’s signature is an off-duty cool that blurs lines between vacation and city, and the Forest Waver shorts are emblematic of that mood—designed to move seamlessly from swim to street, never skipping a sartorial beat. Their understated palette and unfussy fit make them a perennial favorite for anyone whose style leans relaxed but always on-point.
