Hélas Bad Swim Shorts – Black
Free shipping over $175 • $17 under • Ships in 1–2 days
Hélas Bad Swim Shorts in black — Parisian skate sensibility meets the pool deck, no compromises.
Hélas is a Paris-based skate brand with a visual sensibility that travels well across borders and contexts, and the Bad Swim Shorts in Black bring that same approach to poolside and beach wear. The name is deliberate — Hélas has always operated in a space between French cool and skate culture irreverence.
Polyester construction keeps the shorts lightweight and quick-drying when they need to be, while the cut and graphic execution stay true to the brand's design language. Black is the most versatile option in the Hélas swim range.
Wear them in the water or out of it — Hélas doesn't draw a hard line between the two.
Helas runs true to size with a relaxed European cut.
Polyester swim construction. Machine wash cold, hang to dry.
