I’ve been wearing Outerknown’s High
I’ve been wearing Outerknown’s High Tide shorts for about four years, and I own them in about eight different colors. Somehow, that still doesn’t feel like enough.
I honestly can’t decide what I love more: how comfortable they are, how well they hold up, or all the compliments I get. They’re incredibly soft, and even after years of constant wear, mine still look brand new. Hands down, the best shorts I’ve ever owned.
And people notice them. Strangers stop me to ask, “Who makes those?” or “Where did you get them?” Then it’s, “I need to buy some for my husband!” Or their boyfriend, brother, whoever. These are bougie shorts, and I mean that as a compliment.
I practically live in them. Around the house, to bed, to the pool, to the gym, and even to nice restaurants. They’re comfortable enough to sleep in and stylish enough to wear out. There aren’t many things in my closet that get this much use.
The colors are another reason I keep coming back. I have everything from Tuscan orange and green to black, navy, yellow, brown, and tan. I absolutely love the brown and light tan. When the brown first came out, it sold out so quickly that I had to track down a pair on a third-party website. I still haven’t managed to get white or off-white because they’re always out of stock when I try. Outerknown, if you’re reading this: please make these in 100 colors.
As for the price, yes, they’re expensive. But I’ve gotten years of wear out of mine, and they still look great. For something I wear this often and that holds up this well, they’re worth every single penny.
I first discovered Outerknown when I walked into a store in Newport Beach, and I’ve been hooked ever since. And don’t even get me started on their blanket shirts. I own plenty of those, too, and they deserve a review of their own.
These shorts are freaking great. Buy your first pair, and you’ll understand how I ended up with eight.
