As Seen In
Have a question? So glad you asked!
Will they stay on in the surf?
Yes — the high waist and compression fabric mean these stay put even in the waves. Our founder has tested them in the surf and they don't move. The no-top-seam design also means no rolling or digging — just a smooth, secure fit.
How much coverage is it — is it cheeky?
They're medium to fuller coverage with just a slight cheeky moment at the back — enough to be flattering without being too covered up. Think vintage surf girl, not board short. Our 5'8"" founder wearing them says there is about 2-3 cm of cheek exposed if you wear them up all the way. You can wear them slightly down for a fuller-coverage look as well.
Is this style true to size?
Yes- the Isola is true to size — just go with your usual size. These have a bit of stretch as well! If you're very in between sizes, size up instead of down.
