What Types of Men’s Swimwear Are There?

With summer a little more lacking than usual this year, most of us will run to the

beach at even the slightest glimmer of sun. Those that are lucky enough to get away

from the drab weather and rain may wish to invest in a few new items for their

wardrobes.

When it comes to men’s board shorts, mid length styles tend to be the best sellers.

As such, many brands are offering this exact cut. At one time, board shorts were

slightly baggy and finished just above the knee, but this season’s styles have taken

on a slight revamp. Here’s how to rock the look:

Swimming Trunks

The trunks are the most forgiving of the men’s swimwear selections and for that

reason many men tend to stick to this style. Speedos, showing more skin, are at

the riskier end of the men’s swimwear scale, and only those that are extremely

confident with their bodies should attempt such a style.

Many labels are taking on this new trend with slightly shorter lengths, narrower cuts

and a tailored style. This, in turn, prevents the shorts from ballooning when you get

in the water.

Such styles can also be worn with t-shirts and flip-flops as you head towards the

beach. This style is extremely versatile and as an added bonus it also saves a little

space when it comes to packing for a holiday abroad.

Swim Shorts

Luxury fashion brands tend to opt for a mid length style short and as a result many

high street stores and online department stores have been following suit. Shorts that

finish just above the knee are flattering on most men. Shorts that have been cut in a

slightly tailored fashion offer a dignified look and therefore suit most silhouettes.

This is a very flattering cut that looks great on most builds, meaning more and more

men are investing in the tailored style for summer. Check out the latest runway looks

At one time, prints and patterns were huge. This year’s style is influenced by the

athletic look and many brands are offering board shorts and swimming trunks in hot

hues or block shades.
