The cut - Many swim shorts look awkward because of what we is called the “parachute effect”; the short becomes wider towards the leg opening, giving it a droopy pear shape. By increasing the inseam and slightly reducing the leg circumference, Ripa Ripa have designed swim shorts a straight and elegant fit.
