Attention to detail goes into every pair of their trunks, like tone-on-tone stitching and embroidered designs on the back pockets.

With a jean-cut 5-pocket design and a more tailored fit than your classic board short style, these trunks are comfortable enough to wear all day long.

Orlebar Brown “Bulldog” Mid-Length Swim Shorts

Orlebar Brown is another name you should know in the swim trunk category, as they make some of the widest variety of premium swimwear available today.

Their Bulldog series shorts are our favorites, with a mid-length cut and adjustable side fasteners to dial in your perfect tailored fit.

Bonobos Throwback Swim Trunks

There are plenty of good options for swimwear from Bonobos, but none quite as eye-catching as their Throwback line.

They’re cut with a curved hem and short inseam for a retro style and are available in more than a dozen true-to-the-70s colors and patterns.

Quiksilver Waterman Suva Board Shorts

You can’t get much better than Quiksilver for classic surf style at an affordable price.

Their Waterman Suva Board Shorts have a long inseam and generous fit and are made with a water repellent coating that helps them to dry off quickly after you hop out of the water. 

Better yet, they’re made almost entirely from recycled materials, making them as good for the planet as they are for your summer wardrobe.
