surfwear

Beach lifestyle apparel

Surfwear is clothing designed for surfing and beach culture—board shorts, rash guards, wetsuits, and casual apparel marketed by surf brands.

The term extends beyond functional gear to include the lifestyle aesthetic: She showed up in surfwear even though she'd never touched a board.

Brands like Quiksilver and Billabong dominate the category.
