As we ring in summer, you’ll probably have plans to hit the beach with your S/O which presents a fashion opportunity. It’s funny to me when I go on vacation and see men in ill-fitting swim trunks down to their knees like it’s the late nineties. So, we’ve rounded up the hottest swim trunk brands in the best cuts to help guide you and your significant other.
Frescobal Carioca is the newest “it” brand of swim shorts on the market. The cut of their swim trunks hit at just the right part of the thigh, and their prints are bold and fun. The Rio De Janeiro-based brand’s prints are inspired by the colorful scenes on the beaches in Ipanema. Their swim trunks run at around $190.
Vilebrequin has been the reigning swim short on the scene for the last five years, and the French-based brand remains hugely popular. Vilebrequin is known for its wild prints, from turtles to dolphins and crabs. Their almost like the Hermes-tie equivalent to a swim short.
Orlebar Brown is known for its frescoes of scenes that take over the entire swim trunk. I love the poolside scene pictured on the trunks above and many of the other designs from this British brand take on a similar aesthetic.
