Learn how to style the Crochet Cabana Short for effortless summer looks—from beach cover-up to casual daytime outfit.

Quick answer

Layer the Crochet Cabana Short over your swimsuit for a breezy beach look, or pair it with a simple tank and sneakers for a casual summer outfit that keeps you cool.

Why the Crochet Cabana Short works for multiple settings

The open knit and 4-inch inseam make it breathable for hot days, while the drawcord closure lets you adjust the fit. Because it's unlined, it’s best over a swimsuit or with layering pieces underneath.

What to watch for when styling crochet knit

The crochet material is lightweight and slightly sheer, so it won’t offer full coverage on its own. That open weave is why it works so well as a cover-up but may not suit every casual setting unless paired with a solid bottom or liner.

How to style your Crochet Cabana Short in 4 steps

  1. Layer over a swimsuit for a beach-ready look: Slip the shorts on over your bikini or one-piece. The open knit lets the suit show through, so the color and pattern of your swimsuit become part of the outfit. A common mistake is wearing a swimsuit that clashes with the shorts—stick to solid or neutral bottoms for a clean look.
  2. Pair with a matching top for a coordinated set: Combine the Crochet Cabana Short with the matching shirt from the same collection. The full set creates a relaxed, intentional summer outfit that works for pool parties or backyard hangs. Check that both pieces are the same colorway, as slight dye differences between separate items can break the match.
  3. Wear as casual shorts with a simple tee or tank: Choose a fitted tank or a loose cotton tee. Because the short is unlined, add bike shorts or a slip underneath if you want more coverage. The drawcord lets you cinch the waist for a secure fit. Avoid bulky tops that fight the airy texture of the crochet knit—stick to sleek silhouettes.
  4. Accessorize for evening or travel: Throw the shorts over your swimsuit at sunset, or pack them as a multi-use piece that doubles as a cover-up and a casual bottom. A straw hat and sandals complete the look. Don't forget that the shorts are unlined—they work best when you already have a base layer underneath or when you're okay with the peek-through effect.

The short you'll reach for all summer

  • Crochet Cabana Short: This crochet-knit is an easy cover up that layers perfectly over your swim—just enough for your suit to peek through. You can wear it from the beach to a coffee stop without changing, saving you time and keeping you cool.
