Gather 'round your nearest pool, ocean or swimmin' hole and consider Brownlee, a brand-new Nashville-based swimsuit label, making incredibly light and appropriately quick-drying shorts. 

We know what you're thinking: Nashville: does it get any more beachy than that? You're a sarcastic one, you. Nevertheless, here's four subtle patterns that each come in three colors—the primary ones (red, yellow and blue in case your kindergarten memories fail you). 

The brand is named for the grandfather of its designer, Christina Chapman, and the idea here is that these are subtle, neutral and handsome enough to be worn even away from bodies of water, with a sweater at dinner, to a workout, etc. Our take is, while we love a good custom-Instagram-print board short as much as the next guy, it's nice to have a pair in rotation that's a little more versatile but not boring. 

You can shop their Instagram, which we hope is the future of lookbooks. Take a look at a few of our favorites below:
