I had the pleasure of catching up with Ann Vodicka, the colour expert analyst and stylist behind Imageconfidence.com.au. Ann shared some brilliant tips on styling our colourful boardshorts for different occasions, focusing on the colour palette of each unique pattern. Here’s how you can make your boardies pop and create effortless looks for summer! ☀️

 

1. Choose Harmonious Colours 🌈

 

Here’s how she styled two of our popular patterns:

• Blue Whale Sharks Mens Boardshorts 🐋: Featuring shades of blue and turquoise, this pattern pops with an unexpected pairing, like purple or yellow. For an even bolder look, she said someone can choose the colour in the colour wheel opposite to the most prominent colour of the pattern of the boardshorts, in this case she said red can add contrast and weight to the outfit—perfect for the festive season or a day by the water.

 

• Orange Crabs Mens Boardshorts 🦀: With a mix of orange, green, and a hint of white, Ann recommends pairing this pattern with tones of yellow, green, or even white for a fresh, summery feel. 

 

 

2. Match Patterns with Your Personality ✨

Ann also explained how different patterns can suit different personalities. Those with a curious and playful spirit might enjoy bold prints like our Macaw Boardshorts 🦜. Even those with a more classic style can still enjoy a fun pattern—Ann suggests toning it down by pairing it with a solid-coloured shirt, like white, to balance the look.
