Swim shorts: we don't have to tell you that they're a summer essential. Unfortunately, they're also often one of the most overlooked parts of your warm-weather wardrobe. If an early heat wave crept up on you before you had time to update your old high school Speedo, don't worry.
Whether it's for the Rockaways or the Riviera, a perfect swim short springs eternal. From a statement-making Missoni pair to a pair from Phipps with heavy Y2K inspiration, Highsnobiety staffers around the world got together to offer their thoughts on this summer's best swim shorts.
