Mens Swim Shorts
From LoveToKnow Swimsuits
Mens swim shorts come in a wide array of colors and styles, and this means that choosing a pair to suit your own unique personality shouldn't be an issue.
Choose the Perfect Pair
With all the different mens shorts available on the swim market, it may be difficult to know just how to choose the right pair. Besides looking at the overall pleasing aesthetics of the style, cut and color, you may also want to consider the particular locale where you'll be wearing the shorts.
For example, a camouflage pair of shorts may be perfect for a friend's pool party, but if you are going on vacation, you may want to choose a style that offers a bit more whimsy. In the latter case, a pair of hibiscus mens swim trunks may match perfectly. No matter the subsequent style you choose, be sure to pick one that aptly reflects your personality. This way, you won't waste precious time feeling self-conscious in your swim shorts.
Shopping For Mens Swim Shorts
Begin your search for the perfect pair of swim shorts by visiting a few of the following online shopping sites.
Travel Smith
Travel Smith offers two pairs of swim shorts that may be of interest. The first is the Men's Surf N Turf Solid Swim Shorts. Done in the "cargo" style, these shorts offer convenient pockets, a poly mesh liner and metal grommets that help release air and water. Three colors are available, including white, red and navy at a price of $29.98.
The second pair of swim shorts here that you may want to turn you eye towards is also from the Surf N Turf collection, but this one is done in a blue print; a tropical scene that is awash in deep blue seas and swaying coconut tress. However, the price of this print is slightly higher at $39.00 than its solid counterpart.
Land's End
While it's true that many different online sites offer swim shorts for men, few boast the color selection that Land's End has to offer. Some of these colors include:
- Autumn Orange
- Black
- Light Emerald
- True Navy
- Vivid Blue
- Washed Turquoise
- Rich Red
- Pineapple
Beyond this extensive color selection, you'll find that all of these shorts come in a quick drying, UPF 50, have a one hundred percent nylon finish, a three piece mesh liner and an elastic waist with a drawstring close. Last, but not least, this $19.99 short also contains pockets that allow water in and out and side leg vents that help ensure a comfortable fit.
Nordstrom
While a bit pricier at $42.00, the Quicksilver Enforce Ripstop Camouflage Board Short at Nordstrom does give off that "runway" vibe. This canvas in varying shades of black, deep green and grey features a Velcro fly with a lace-up closure, a cargo pocket that is embroidered with the Quicksilver logo and sizes that range from 28 to 40. It's worth noting that this pair of shorts is unlined, so choose accordingly.
