Orlebar Brown x Automobili Lamborghini swim shorts: Road Test
Nearly $500 for a pair of swim shorts? It sounds like madness. Then you see the Lamborghini label, and it all makes sense.
WHY DO YOUR BUTTOCKS LOOK SO FAST? That would be the impressive effect of these Lamborghini swim shorts, a collaboration between the Italian supercar firm and Orlebar Brown, a British resort wear brand (which sounds as logical as a raincoat company based on Mars).
HOW UNUSUAL. Yes, the collab also includes polo shirts, trousers and towels, all featuring the distinctive hex pattern used in Lambo’s air vents and exhausts.
SPEAKING OF EXHAUSTS, THEY’RE A BIT LOUD. Well, it’s only appropriate. My main concern was that the shorts might have some kind of exhaust system that would turn even the smallest farts into explosive barks and elephant like trumpeting.
SPEAKING OF ELEPHANTS… Yes, the other concern is the package department. Some women make that cruel little finger sign when you drive a Lambo, while men think a supercar makes their appendages seem larger. This makes these shorts risky.
ANYTHING ELSE? They’re made of 100% recycled plastic, because Lamborghini is a green brand. Stop laughing, they’re serious.
