Our Story

Born on the beach. Built forevery adventure.

Our journay started with a problem-and a promise.
In 2012, our founder Beth was on a family beach trip with her brother David—just like they had done since they were kids. But this time, something was off.

David couldn’t stop complaining about his new trunks.
They felt rough. Sand kept getting in. The thin inner lining itched like crazy.And worst of all? After a swim, he sat down on a rock and left behind a giant, wet seat print. It was embarrassing.

Beth looked an him and said...

From frustration to innovation

Two years and dozens of prototypes later, Beth put her first pair of swim trunks on Amazon in 2012. They sold out within weeks.
Why?
Because they actually solved problems people didn’t even know they could fix.

It wasn’t just about looking good. It was about staying dry, feeling comfortable, and moving freely—whether you’re swimming, surfing, or just grabbing a drink after the beach.

And that was just the beginning.

How we've grown together

We've spent the past decade listening to you. Every comment, every review, every 'Hey, what if…' has helped shape the Silkworld you see today.

2014 — The 'dry faster' moment

A customer once told us they wore our swim trunks straight from the beach into a café-only to leave a big wet seat mark on the chair. It was awkward. We took thehint. We developed a water-repellent fabric that dried significantly faster and helped eliminate that “wet shorts" feeling. As a bonus, it also resisted stains and greaseduring BBQs. That's when we realized-this wasn't just about the beach anymore.

2015 — No more hair-pulling liners

We edited the inner mesh lining, making the holes finer to reduce irritation and painful hair snagging.
The result? Way more comfort, especially for long days outdoors.

2016 — Bye, sticky sand

After hearing how sand stuck to our fabric, we went back to the lab. Half a year of development led to a fabric that resists sand cling—no more bringing the beach home with you.

2017-Pool-Proof Colors

Chlorine was causing our shorts to fade after a few swims. So we upgraded our dyeing process and fabric treatments to boost chlorine resistance and color retention.

2018- Softer from the inside out

Traditional mesh was too stiff. We blended spandex into our liner material, making it softer, stretchier, and kinder to your skin-even after hours of movement.

2020- Compression, Evolved

Customers loved the support of compression shorts at the gym. So we asked, "What if swim trunks could do that too?"After a year of development, we launched our first compression-lined swim trunks-for extra support, security, and versatility.

2021- A Game Changer

Our compression-lined swim trunks hit the market-and the feedback was incredible. Customers told us they felt protected, confident, and comfortable no mattel
what they were doing.

2022 - Style joins the party

We wanted our trunks to do more than perform. We wanted them to look good too. That year, we introduced a wide range of bold prints and colors, designed for tropical getaways, pool parties, or just lounging in style.

2023- Pockets with purpose

You spoke. We listened.
Guys told us they needed swimwear with secure pockets-not just for swimming, but for travel and daily wear. We redesigned our pockets to include zippers all,
thoughtful storage compartments, perfect for your phone, card, keys, or whatever else you bring along.

Where we're headed

We're no longer just about swim trunks.

We're about freedom. Comfort. Performance. Design.
We're about giving you gear that keeps up with your lifestyle-on thebeach, in the gym, at the café, or on your next adventure.

Thousands of reviews. Millions of swims.
And we're just getting started.

Thanks for being part of the journey.
Let's keep moving forward-together.
