Photo: AMC Whether you’re looking for something simple to wear to the local beach, or you’re trying to flex at a rooftop pool, now would be a good time to upgrade your swim trunks. “Gone are the days of over-the-top, crazy vacation print board shorts,” says stylist Piper Gore, who suggests trying something a bit shorter and more fitted. — and asked them to recommend the best swim trunks for men.
$85 at Todd Snyder Buy Goodfellow & Co Swim Trunks We also found this pair from Target’s Goodfellow & Co. line, and it’s a great deal. It has the six-inch inseam and comes in a bold “mint” color you’re unlikely to see anyone else wearing. You can use the money you save on a couple day passes to the Standard Hollywood pool.
$55 at Urban Outfitters Buy Solid & Striped Swim Trunks – The Classic With an inseam of 4.75 inches, these trunks from Solid & Striped can be seen as a dressier alternative to Baggies. In addition to being a bit shorter, they’re more form-fitting, and the shiny fabric makes a statement. In terms of mid-thigh trunks, we have the Orlebar Brown on the “tailored” end of the spectrum and Baggies on the “casual” end. We see these as landing somewhere in the middle.
$85 at Saturdays NYC Buy Stüssy Mid-Length Leopard-Print Swim Shorts And if you want to make more of a statement, Arnold recommends these Stüssy trunks. “Channel your inner ’90s skater with these abstract leopard-print shorts,” he says. “You can wear them to the beach or throw on a long-sleeve tee and a pair of Vans.”
$35 at Nordstrom Rack Buy Barney Cools Holiday Amphibious Short “The theme for this and every summer is bold,” says Los Angeles–based influencer Francis Kenneth. He recommends guys look to “bright colors and bold patterns to stand out from the rest of the dudes at the pool or beach.” He likes this trunk from Australian company Barney Cools.
