Swim trunks are the workhorses of summer, pulling extra shifts as underwear, sportswear, shorts, and balmy evening attire. Trunks must be stylish, well-constructed, and above all, flattering-may we remind you, the less you wear the more impact it has. There are general guidelines on inseam and style to find the right fit for your body type, but beyond that it’s a category of clothing most men don’t want to think much about.
Below are 5 Swim Trunks For Men
The Forgiving, Sophisticated Swim Trunks
This pair of trunks from Onia is deceptively simple. The love for them lies mainly on the details. They have a flat front, with a snap, but the back is gloriously finished with elastic. This makes it a better fit as you move from pool to lounge chair to pickup game of beach volleyball. They are quite literally a translation of business in the front, party in the back and one of the most democratically forgiving options on the market.
The Designer Swim Trunks
This season , Dries Van Noten went above and beyond with a very limited collaboration with design legend Verner Panton. This cute pair of swim trunk is subtle, yet trippy gradated wave patterns, has a comfortable elastic waist with a drawstring and matching pouch for storage.
The Heritage Swim Trunks
Despite being an east Coaster, or perhaps because of it, Sachs loves the story behind Birdwell Beach Britches, his go-to for days and nights by the beach,lake, or pool. They are born of the homegrown inspiration of a Californian surf family and still proudly made in the Golden state and backed by a lifetime guarantee, also the price makes it right to grab a fun colour or two extra for when your basic black shorts are still drying on the dock.
The Super-Versatile Swim Trunks
Like Bruce Pask said when it comes to Swimwear: Be prepared. Even if you’re going someplace chilly, there’s always a hotel sauna or a workout class to take. Orlebar Brown’s classic Bulldog fit offers maximum versatility, especially in a conservative colours like navy although if you want something flashier the brand is famous for its photo transfers and jaunty prints.
The Lifeguard Pair Of Swim Trunks
Many people fancy the swim trunks that sit above the knee. This style although more associated with Europe or South America than the U.S., will flatter most guys perfectly, while a cool block print logo like this one, conjures some serious retro Californian vibes.
