Although most of us would like summer to last forever, it always feels like it only lasts five minutes. So, if you want to make the most of the long summer days and all the warmth and sunshine they bring, you better start preparing your outfits for the warm season, specifically your swimming trunks and shorts.
Since swimwear shopping can easily get complicated with all the different styles and trends out there, we’ve done the hard work for you and rounded up a list of the hottest swimming trunks and shorts you can purchase this season to help you get summer-ready.
Camouflage shorts
From cargo pants and kaki jackets to army boots and everything in between, military-inspired outfits have been dominating the fashion world for decades, and it seems like the trend has finally hit the beaches. If you’re not exactly the extroverted type and you’re feeling a bit conscious when you’re at the beach, a pair of camouflage shorts can provide the confidence boost you need.
Make sure you choose a flattering fit if you want to achieve a more masculine look. Since the camouflage pattern is a bit busy, it’s best to go for slimmer cuts and avoid wider or bulkier shorts.
Designer shorts
There is swimwear and then there are designer swim shorts. We don’t want to point out the obvious here, but if you want to look and feel your best you need to invest in high-quality pieces that are timeless, classic and versatile and will stand the test of time.
That’s why every man should have at least one pair of mens designer swimshorts in their summer wardrobe. They might be on the higher end of your budget, but designer shorts provide the best quality and style, and will certainly make you stand out from the crowd.
Nautical-inspired shorts
We know it’s not exactly a ground-breaking suggestion, but nautical-inspired shorts are just as trendy as ever and if you don’t own a pair already, we highly recommend you add one to your shopping list.
With its clean cuts and striped patterns, the nautical style swim trunks are the perfect option if you want to look put together in a casual and effortless way. And if you want to be a little extra, feel free to explore your options and choose a reinterpreted maritime look instead of the classic straight stripes.
Botanical prints
Botanical patterns and floral prints have always been favourites in women’s fashion, but it seems like they’ve made their way to men’s swimwear, and the trend is riding the popularity wave this year.
Plain swim trunks in solid colours have always been the go-to option for men, but it might be time to leave this tradition behind and expand your fashion horizons. If you’re not a big fan of prints in general but would like to try out this style, florals are a great way to dip your toes into bolder looks.
