Swing shorts are commonly made from blends such as polyamide/elastane, polyester/spandex, nylon/spandex, cotton (including organic cotton), and recycled polyester/spandex, depending on the brand and intended use.
Many swing shorts include inner briefs or built-in liners to provide coverage and added comfort under the flowy outer layer.
Some swing shorts use moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabrics and incorporate four-way stretch to enhance movement and help keep you cooler and drier during activity.
Common style details include a flowy outer overlay or skort (sometimes with floral prints), tulip-style side panels, and a loose, layered cut over fitted shorts for a feminine look.
Stretch depends on the fabric: some use medium-stretch polyamide/elastane blends, many use polyester- or nylon-spandex blends, and certain styles advertise four-way stretch for maximum flexibility.
