Men’s swimwear can leave some sinking in their style choices. If you are heading on an exotic getaway this summer, with your feet immersing into sandy beaches soaking up the summer sun, a pair of seriously stylish swim shorts is a summer wardrobe essential. And before you reach for those baggy boardies, the way to make a splash this sun season is with something bold – whether that be an eye-catching, tan-enhancing colour or an attention-grabbing pattern. The key is to go for a trim, more tailored cut that hits on the mid-thigh – that way they’ll look just as smart worn on dry land with a short as they will in the water. Here’s our selection of the best of the best swim shorts for summer.
