Verdict
The Nashie offers a stylish and functional alternative to traditional swimwear, praised for its comfort and ability to transition from the water to social venues. While the quick-drying performance and sun protection are highly regarded, inconsistent sizing and long sleeve lengths are recurring issues. Potential buyers should be aware that the customer is responsible for return postage if an exchange is necessary.
People will be wondering why I am diving into a pool in a dress shirt. The fit is good, the feel is great, the look is superb. The Nashie gives me the protection I need without looking like an overstuffed saveloy. Cheers.
My Nashie fits great, feels awesome and is just comfortable so much that I bought another one and gets delivered today. I totally recommend buying a Nashie you won't regret it Show details
Comfy, light and a great shirt to travel in. The olive green long sleeved nashie can be worn visiting the beach or going to the art gallery. Well done Nashie crew. Good idea.

Honestly couldn't be more happy with my purchase, worth every penny. Product is as described and fast delivery especially over the Christmas period. Wore it for the first time at the beach today, amazing feel, comfortable, light weight, multi-purpose and quick dry. Shirt pictured is the slate grey and a (L) as I prefer a loose fit. Wore it… Read more
straight to the shops after the beach and it's definitely not a rashie, it's a nashie!
Highly recommend and I may consider others in their line. Thanks Nashie team!
I ordered 4 Nashies. 1 each for my 2 sceptical sons and one for my husband and myself. My sons didn't think they would get much wear, yet 2 days later on holiday they are wearing their nashies and singing the praises of the long sleeved shirt. Great buy!! Show details
Great shirt grandson loves it as birthday gift. Very happy with service and delivery and more than happy with quality of product Show details
Single day at the pool and then washing, found all of did this damage to pants. Very poor cheap material, this is definitely not worth the money, as well as that more than positive it doesn't hold 50spf as its very cheap poly material. Pity as it's a good idea overall. Returned for refund and won't be getting again.
Stylish in the water and stylish when dry. Even wore one for dinner ☺️ …and most of all, it protects you from harmful UV
My husband wore the Nashie for one day at the beach. After the day was over, the entire neckline and sleeves were frayed with lots of little fibers. I messaged customer service about this, and they just said to shave the fraying off with a razor. However, for the price Nashie charges, it is ridiculous that the shirt would look so shabby after… Read more
just one day of wear. Shaving it helped get rid of the frayed fibers, but it definitely doesn't look like it did when we got it out of the package. I'm SO disappointed in the quality.
Absolutely thrilled with my Nashie! Firstly the service …. it arrived in 2 days from placing my order. The fit is perfect, I purchased a small and I wear size 8. Spent the day on the beach, didn’t get sunburn and the shirt was cool to wear unlike other sun shirts which I find very hot. Will definitely be buying other colours. Show details
I have bought 4 of these now. First two I liked but I bought too big so after trying them out I bought 2 more one size smaller for vanity sake. I love the quality of the fabric and make. The flexibility of going straight into the sea or pool and then walking around and not needing to change into a clingy style tshirt is great asset. Recently wore it snorkeling with turtles in the Cook Islands Show details
I bought the blue/white striped shirt and it’s excellent. The fit is perfect (XXL) and it’s comfortable enough to wear whether you are swimming in it or not. Show details

It exceeded my expectations. The fabric is light and flowy, and the fit is perfect. On the downside, I requested a size exchange through the website, but due to a system error, my request was never registered. I contacted them twice by email but received no response. In the end, though, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as the size I received fits me perfectly. I’m very happy with my new sun shirt! Show details
Arrived just in time for my holiday in Fiji. Quality is excellent. Slightly heavier material than what I thought it would be but happy it was. I thought the sizing guide was a bit on the loose size but my wife said it was good. I I suppose it’s sold as a loose fitting top. I did feel it took a little longer to dry than perhaps marketed (maybe 10 minutes in 26 degree heat and breeze). Overall happy with product. Show details
Excellent alternative to a regular rashie, which I absolutely need when I swim outside. Looks and feels so much better and dries quickly. Took it away to the Northern Territory recently and it served me well! Show details
It looks amazing on me. The color is perfect, the size is spot on (facebook representative on messenger helped me). It dries fairly quickly but it does its job; no sunburns! And to boot ive walked in to shops and restaurants with it on and nothing negative has been said. I just wish it were more readily available locally (like at a store), and I… Read more
wish I had thought of the product. You seriously have a winner of a product, and I will be buying more!
Got one for me and one for my husband. Both run slightly small. But I still think we have the correct sizes. We love the look and feel of our Nashies! Will probably order long sleeve shirts to add to our summer wardrobe. Show details · 1
Love my new ladies striped, long-sleeved Nashie! It’s silky and lightweight, and looks so classy on its own, even with a pair of jeans. Will make a perfect, versatile travel piece as well as swimsuit cover-up and swim shirt, as it dries so quickly. I’m 5’6” / 110 lbs with long limbs, and the XS small fits perfectly in the shoulders, with plenty of… Read more
length to go past my wrists and cover the back of my hands (was worried about this due to the model photos). It’s roomy without being boxy and still cuts a nice form. It arrived with about 5 days of shipping and 8 days of ordering. Love it, and can’t wait to see the men’s one on my husband!

We loved our Nashies, so we purchased more. So disappointed, they are soooo crushed. And I can’t get the creases out. I have washed them, I have steamed them. Love the pink but how can I wear it crushed. Very disappointed. Still trying to make them wearable.

Bought this for my husband as a chrissy gift last year. He has not stopped wearing it all year round. At the beach, at the office, at the pub, at dinner. It was definitely a great purchase and he gets so many compliments. Show details
Follow-up · He is still obsessed and loves the looser fit it offers. Quality and colour are still great.

I have found the Nashie to be very comfortable, silky feel and light to wear. Great for swimming and not have to worry about the sun rays beaming down. I recently purchased some for my wife and she wore the long sleeve on the weekend and loved it but unfortunately we had to send back the short sleeved olive green shirt as it was smaller than the… Read more
long sleeved one, both had M size on the label. We are now waiting for the replacement in a L size to come. Fingers crossed it will fit ok. I am still extremely happy with the product and I tell all my friends they should invest in a Nashie.
Very light weight material, lovely colour I picked gray. Perfect for everyday wear. Yet to try in water but feel it will be perfect and dry quickly. Fussy partner for shirts but loved it Show details
I bought a long sleeve nashie as a gift. It was used on a recent trip to Cairns and is a winner. Comfy, nice on in and out of the water and quick drying. The only time she got burnt was when she didn't put it on!

Bought a Nashie for my partners birthday, it was a nice rashie shirt but the sizing was too large. I arranged an exchange through Nashie, which I also paid for the return, then after posting it through Australia Post as advised by Nashie. Waited… Read more
for a couple of months and still haven’t received the exchange so I followed up with Nashie as to where the exchange request is at. Nashie have advised they haven’t received the return, and will not exchange the shirt, nor provide a refund I’m assuming seeing as they haven’t offered me one. Australia Post only holds tracking numbers in the AusPost app for 90 days so I can no longer track the package. Even the text from Australia Post is only valid for 30 days. Terrible outcome for me the customer to have purchased a $90 rashie, then paid for postage on top of it, plus paying again for return postage, only to be left with nothing at all. I’ve only written 1 bad review for an online purchase in my life and I buy online a lot, sadly this is the second bad review I’ve ever had to write. Very disappointed with my experience and will not shop with Nashie again.
Follow-up · Writing a follow up review. After writing a bad online review I did hear from Nashie and they had reviewed my case and advised they would send me a replacement shirt which I was grateful for. When the replacement shirt arrived unfortunately it was not the shirt I had originally ordered but a palm tree patterned one which my partner would never… Read more

Great product but recommend you don’t pay the extra for faster processing/delivery. I paid the extra for 1 to 2 day dispatch (only because we were going away) and it wasn’t dispatched from their warehouse for 5 days.

I recently bought the Nashie Women's Light Blue Striped shirt and absolutely love it. It’s one of those rare pieces that looks like a normal, stylish button‑up but is actually designed for swimming and lounging by the pool. The fabric is soft and comfortable for all‑day wear, and it feels great both dry and when I’m in the water. What really… Read more
stands out is how practical it is around the pool: I can hop in and out of the water and it dries quickly, so I never feel soggy or weighed down. The UPF50+ sun protection gives me peace of mind when I’m out in the sun for hours, and the long sleeves and collared design keep me covered without feeling hot or restrictive. The relaxed fit is much more comfortable than a tight rash vest, but it still looks neat enough to wear from the poolside straight to a café or beach walk.
The light blue stripes look fresh and flattering, and the shirt feels well‑made and durable, even with regular use in chlorinated pools and saltwater. Overall, this is an amazing shirt for anyone who spends a lot of time by the water and wants a combination of style, comfort and sun protection—highly recommended.
I purchased one long sleeve (slate gray) and one short sleeve (beige). They arrived quickly (in time for my trip to Hawaii). I used the beige shirt several times. I didn't use the gray one, primarily because my wife said it didn't go with my swim… Read more
shorts (I'm colorblind, so....). The fit of both shirts was right on. They are comfortable. In direct sunlight, it seems like the shirt would be mostly dry within the claimed 10 minutes, but since I don't like to sit in direct sun, I can't be sure. It seems there was still some dampness for much longer than that. However, that said, I like the look and feel much better than wearing the typical rash-guard crewneck t-shirt (of which I have several and don't like the way they feel in water or out). I would be willing to wear the shirt to the bar or lunch. Also, the shirts look good enough that if not worn into the water, you could definitely wear them as a decent-looking, high-tech fabric collared shirt in warm climates. The build of the shirts seems very sturdy.
Follow-up · The color and the collar have retained well. While damp, the shirt will naturally smell like the pool water, but that dissipates as the shirt dries. Once washed, there is only the clean laundry smell.
