ⓘ
Description
"When my children came back from the beach one day with sunburnt legs I knew I had to do better, and do more for kids to keep them sun-safe...." - Emily Gradon, Tribe Tropical Founder
A perfect addition to our Tropic of Unicorn™ range, these swim / active shorts with adjustable tie offer style, added sun-protection and modesty.
These shorts are fully-lined front & back, and have an adjustable waist tie.
Elegantly tailored, these shorts are designed to be worn with our Tropic of Unicorn™ swim range, or they can be worn with any of our plain rash guard tops. Being fully lined, these shorts can also be worn in place of a swim brief.
Super cute with a plain white t-shirt also, these shorts can be worn casually at the park or to gymnastics, or on beach/pool days in the water, with any of our unicorn style swimsuits.
** Please note that the swimsuit / top is sold separately to these shorts - this listing is for shorts only.

CARE
To ensure longevity of your swimwear, please:
- Rinse immediately after use to clean out salt and chlorine.
- Ideally hand-wash as often as possible as this will ensure longevity of the fabric
(if machine-washing please use a garment bag, cold water & low spin cycle)
- Do not wring, rub, soak or bleach swimwear.
- Dry in the shade – never tumble dry.
- Do not leave rolled up wet or store when damp.
- Do not iron or dry clean.
- Take care when dressing as over-stretched zips risk disconnecting or the plastic teeth may break, as can happen with any zip.
My kids wore these swimmers for over 2 years. Not one issue with them, they still have a good year or two in them as well so last 3-4 years. We've had no fade or stretch, no pulling or pilling. Have handed down to friends children as my children outgrew them. Love them so much.
I am really impressed with the level of support the ladies swimsuit provides, even for a larger cup size, which is so hard to find.
Fantastic to wear for any water activity. I love the sun protection and comfort of the swimsuit while surfing, paddleboarding or just chilling at the beach.
Tribe Tropical swimwear is by far the best designed and quality in Australia. The thought process that has gone into these designs, made for comfort, quality and being so sunsafe is a stand out. Each time my daughter wears these they wash up like brand new.

Hi! I’m Emily, mother of 3 little girls and founder of Tribe Tropical.
Growing up I used to dread beach days!
As a red-head with fair skin, growing up in the tropics, I either had to risk being teased by other kids for covering up in a daggy old t-shirt, or end the day sunburnt & in pain.
Having since suffered with countless skin cancer treatments (and further to the loss of my grandfather due to melanoma), I understand the importance of sun protection - I started Tribe Tropical with a desire to protect my family and yours in beautiful, high-quality sun-protective swimwear that people would feel good in & enjoy wearing.
No-one should dread a beach day! I hope to help you to make them fun & burn-free also.
