These days, it seems everything in your wardrobe of menswear essentials serves a dual purpose, and that’s not a bad thing. In my experience, the more versatile your favorite pieces can be, the better. That goes for your chambray shirt (either a rugged shirt jacket or a stylish swerve with a blazer), as well as more beach-ready pieces.

Take the Billy Reid Moore Hybrid Swim Shorts. They look like a standard pair of classic chino shorts — the kind you might wear with a stylish denim shirt from the famed Alabama designer — but there’s so much more to them than meets the eye.

You’ll find them, first and foremost, in the always well-stocked Billy Reid New Arrivals section, and that’s where our journey (and your journey to finding your new favorite swim trunks — or shorts!) begins.

With the Billy Reid Moore Hybrid Swim Shorts, it all comes down to the fabric. That fabric, of course, is a 100 percent quick-drying nylon material, yet from afar, these stylish hybrid shorts look like, well, classic chino shorts. They’ve even got sharp details like a flap coin pocket at the waist, not to mention side slant pockets for a clean and dressy look.

Plus, the Billy Reid Moore Hybrid Swim Shorts come in a cool textured black pattern, or a more classic khaki. If you want to lean more closely into the timeless stylings of chino shorts, opt for khaki. If not, opt for the patterned black option — yet, there’s really no wrong way to go with the Billy Reid Moore Hybrid Swim Shorts.

The great thing is, these stylish hybrid shorts pair up as easily with a USA-made T-shirt as they do with your favorite linen shirt from Billy Reid. As the designer says, from the beach to the bar, you’re covered with these dependable-as-can-be shorts.
