Swimming trunks

When the weather's warm and sunny, swimming trunks are a must-have for men, whether you're at the seaside, by a lake or at the swimming pool. They're just as suitable for a relaxing day on the beach as they are for surfing or going to the pool after a long and tiring day at the office. Men's swimwear ranges from short, simple designs to long, colourful shorts, so you can choose whatever suits you and your personal taste. 

Perfect style for the beach and the pool

Swimming trunks and shorts are a must if you like swimming in your spare time. Classic designs in a boxer short length are just as popular as board shorts that go down to just above the knee. There are designs in an array of colours and patterns to suit every taste. High-quality swimming trunks are made from a hygienic, fast-drying material such as polyester. The perfect swimming trunks are so comfortable to wear that there's nothing in the way of a relaxing day at the swimming pool, by the lake or on the beach. Lots of designs have practical pockets for loose change or your keys. This leaves you with both hands free, so you can lie back and relax.

Men's swimming trunks in different colours and designs

Men's swimming trunks come in lots of different colours and designs to suit your individual taste. Retro designs in a range of shades and floral or graphic patterns are particularly on trend right now. For a sporty look, opt for block-colour designs or swimming trunks with nautical stripes. And you can't go wrong with simple trunks in navy blue or black. Choose vibrant Hawaiian prints for a tropical vibe.

Different swimming trunk designs to suit your personal taste and style

From baggy board shorts that reach down to your knees to very short, tight designs, men's swimming trunks come in all sorts of different styles. Depending on where you're going to wear your trunks and your individual taste, you might opt for a breezy, casual look or a short figure-hugging design.

• Short, tight swimming trunks: as short, tight swimming trunks create hardly any resistance in the water, they're particularly good for lane swimming. They offer plenty of freedom of movement and are also ideal for wearing under long board shorts without a mesh inner.
• Boxer swimming shorts: these are narrow-fitting swimming trunks with a short leg. They're longer than short briefs-style trunks, but shorter than long board shorts. This makes them great for swimming, but they also come in handy for other activities, like hanging out at the beach bar or playing volleyball.
• Knee-length board shorts: these look very much like regular shorts, but they're made of fast-drying materials. They reach down to the middle of the thighs, or even down to the knee. Knee-length board shorts are perfect summer wear.

In a nutshell: the perfect shorts for summer

Swimming trunks come in lots of different shapes, colours and designs to suit your individual style. Go for plain designs in black or blue for a classic look that suits every man. Retro-look designs and swimming shorts in graphic or floral patterns are particularly on trend. You can choose from short, tight trunks, boxer-style swimming shorts or knee-length board shorts, depending on your personal taste and where you're planning on wearing them.

FAQs

Which swimming trunks are on trend?

Right now, men's swimming trunks in tropical floral patterns and graphic prints are bang on trend, but timeless, block-colour designs and styles with restrained patterns are also extremely popular among men. When it comes to length, mid-length trunks remain the firm favourite. These are more casual than skin-tight Speedos and cooler than knee-length board shorts.

Which colours work for swimming trunks?

Bright colours are particularly popular right now for men's swimming trunks.  Men are no longer shying away from bright colours and flashy patterns; shorts with floral or graphic prints are especially popular. Men's swimming trunks in yellow with a lemon pattern are a fresh, zingy look and just the thing for summer.

What are Speedos?

Speedos are tight-fitting men's swimming trunks that cover very little of the body. Having fallen from favour in recent years, they're now making a comeback and are increasingly being worn by fashion-conscious men. Speedos don't cover much skin, resulting in an even tan when sunbathing. As they're made of very little fabric they also dry very quickly.
