This Season's Best Swim Shorts
We're all about planning ahead because the key to a successful spring/summer season is having everything sorted in advance. As such, we've already turned our mindsets from down jackets to swim shorts.
Men’s swimwear is a controversial game, with unforeseen obstacles at every twist and turn. Of course, there are a few rules of thumb: something with a relaxed cut usually works best in a public place, and no, your white boxers don’t pass as swimwear.
Eliminate another summer worry by taking some advice from the Highsnobiety curation team, which has scoured the pages of Matches for the best swimwear. From loud prints by Missoni and Vilebrequin to quiet style from Gucci, this roundup covers all sides of the stylish swimwear spectrum.
Browse the season's best men's swim shorts below.
Moncler
Moncler avoids bold prints for a classic monochrome finish. This pair of bold red swim shorts also features the brand's crest embroidered to the left leg.
Gucci
In an unexpected turn of events, Gucci enters this roundup with the most understated item of them all. A great pair of swim shorts should work in the water and out, and this pair does just that.
Vilebrequin
French master of men's swimwear, Vilebrequin is a safe bet for all in doubt when it comes to summer swimwear. Bold patterns, perfect length, and luxury builds make the label's swimwear world famous.
Tom Ford
Many wouldn't consider buying a luxury pair of swim shorts, but our argument is that it's likely one of the most worn pieces of the summer wardrobe, so spend accordingly. This pair of Tom Ford swim shorts is the kind you keep for years.
Brunello Cucinelli
You're tired of heard about stealth wealth, quiet luxury, ad all of the other synonyms for what is, essentially, just refined Italian design. This pair of Brunello Cucinelli shorts doesn't need a trendy tagline attached to it.
Missoni Mare
Missoni's zig-zagging multicolor prints have become a signature of the label, harking back to the innovative weaving techniques that defined the brand's history.
Hartford
Swim shorts are an easy place to inject your wardrobe with a touch of fun. This pair from Hartford features a pineapple motif throughout.
Balenciaga
Bold highlighter yellow, because it's Balenciaga, obviously.
Etro
Etro's penchant for intricate paisley patterns is a defining quality of the Italian label.
