Swim shorts launches: Sheep Inc, David Gandy Wellwear make waves
It's a busy period in the summer swim shorts space with Sheep Inc and David Gandy Wellwear launching for the season.
For the man who made white swim shorts very well known as a former model, David Candy is now launching his own. The 'Iconic White Swim Short' is a new limited edition item from his Wellwear brand 'strik[ing] the perfect balance between tailored elegance and 'accidentally just stepped off my boat' charm'.
The opaque all-white short, priced £95, comes in a matte finish with navy piping and a refined drawstring detail.
'Offering just enough coverage to keep things classy' the shorts feature one of Wellwear's signature fabric treatments, Wellwear Protect.
And debuting in the 'swimwear, reimagined' category, Sheep Inc, the natural fibre specialists and pioneer of carbon-negative design, is presenting another of its breakthroughs: The Merino Swimshorts.
Made entirely from fully traceable natural fibres, engineered for performance and 'built to return to the earth', it's created from Reda Active 100% ZQ-certified Merino wool, with a Yarnaway biodegradable lining 'that leaves no trace, no microplastics, and no compromises'.
Sheep Inc co-founder Edzard van Der Wick said: 'These swimshorts are a material rethink. We wanted to prove that swimwear didn't have to be plastic to perform. So we worked with the best natural materials on Earth, and the best people who knew how to shape them.'

Sheep Inc debuts 'revolutionary' Fibregen line
Having secured £5 million in seed funding 'to redefine the future of fashion', fashion brand Sheep Inc has bought its first major innovation to market. Following two years of R&D and extensive trials to produce a material 'that feels like air', Fibregen's billed as a 'revolutionary 100% regenerative material designed to redefine comfort and amplify impact'. Merging 'nature's finest fibres with next-generation textile engineering through precision innovation', we're told it brings together a three-layer natural blend of regenerative cotton and superfine Merino wool 'delivering a sensory experience unlike any other - so light and soft, it feels like wearing air'. Developed in collaboration with Inovafil in Portugal, Fibregen also features two outer layers of breathable regenerative cotton to offer structure and softness. Meanwhile, a non-dyed Merino wool core 'adapts to body temperature — regulating, balancing, and moving with you — for effortless comfort across every moment of the day'. Sourced from Good Earth Cotton and coupled with that FibreTrace technology, 'every thread is fully traceable, ensuring unmatched transparency, provenance, and accountability'. The launch is supported by a campaign called 'Redefining Performance', shifting the the narrative from 'Pushing harder. Going faster. Sweating more' to 'Balance over burnout. Well -being over exhaustion'… designed for modern life, Fibregentum 'invites you to move with purpose — not pressure'. The collection debuts with a unisex range of Hoodies and Sweatshirts offered in five nature-inspired colourways: Cloud Ash (Ecru), Mineral Sea (Aqua), Storm Blue (Navy), Deep Earth (Dark Brown), Lavender Haze (Lilac). Hoodies are priced £180 and sweatshirts £150.
