Highsnobiety

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.
