Shinesty, founded in 2014, is a fashion and retail startup based in the United States. The company's aim, encapsulated in its slogan "We created Shinesty for one reason and one reason only: To force the world to not take itself too seriously," is to inject fun and humor into the fashion industry. With a diverse range of products including pre/post-coital party kimonos, ball hammock boxer briefs, denim-print swimwear, neon ski suits, and the original Christmas Suit, Shinesty is dedicated to staying true to its motto - "Stay weird and shine on."
