Product Insights

The Contrasting Waist Cropped Swim Short by Ami offers an ultra-cropped 2.5-inch inseam that sits above the mid-thigh, a deliberate European street-to-beach style. Its rigid polyamide fabric provides a structured, tailored silhouette and quick drying but is sensitive to chlorine and may have its clean drape distorted by pocket contents. The soft, abrasion-resistant material feels luxurious against the skin, and the sale price of 149.95 CAD undercuts typical discounts, making it an accessible entry into premium Portuguese craftsmanship with a subtle brand look.

Verified claims

Coverage
2.5 inseam sits above mid-thigh on 6'1 frames, exposing the entire upper thigh.
Shape
Rigid polyamide holds the cropped line without ride-up; items in pockets can distort the silhouette.
Comfort
Short dries quickly after swimming and feels soft against the skin.
Style context
Ultra-cropped cut is a deliberate European style, intended for street-to-beach wear.
Fabric
Fabric feels softer and more luxurious than polyester alternatives.
Durability
Fabric resists abrasion from sand and saltwater but is vulnerable to chlorine fading.
Drying
Polyamide fabric dries quickly; the large-hole mesh lining prevents water trapping.
Design heritage
Ultra-cropped 2.5-inch inseam is central to Ami's Parisian casual-chic aesthetic.
Rigid polyamide
Rigid polyamide fabric provides structured silhouette, quick drying, and chlorine sensitivity.
Versatility
Street-to-beach convertible with full pockets on a 2.5-inch inseam.
Made in Portugal
Made in Portugal indicates premium textile craftsmanship comparable to Italy.
Sale price
At sale price 149.95 CAD ($110 USD), it undercuts Ami's discount (161 USD) and approaches mass-market prices.
Material
Rugged polyamide outer (abrasion-resistant, quick-drying) and polyester lining.
Pocket utility
Stored items in pockets sit high on the thigh and may affect the clean drape.
Pocket lining
The sewn-in mesh lining is for the body interior, not the pocket bags.
Origin
Made in Portugal label indicates R&D-driven quality on par with Italy.
Construction
Portuguese construction provides durable shape retention with polyamide's chlorine sensitivity.
Care
Chlorine exposure fades color and weakens fibers; gentle care prolongs lifespan.
Handfeel
Soft polyamide feels smooth and comfortable on skin.
Inseam
2.5-inch inseam sits high on thigh; balance with fitted tops.
Silhouette
Rigid weave yields a tailored, structured cropped silhouette that won't cling.
Quality
Positioned as fashion designer swimwear with Made-in-Portugal quality.
Pricing
Sale price of 149.95 CAD undercuts Ami de Coeur's sale price of 161 USD.
Design style
Full white waistband and small logo create a subtler brand look than Ami de Coeur's contrast-stitching.
