Summer fashion, temperatures, and itineraries seem to be hotter than ever this year. If you’re dashing between Pickleball tournaments, beach days, and maybe a trip abroad, there’s a good chance you haven’t had a moment to stop and re-evaluate your wardrobe choices. You’re probably living your best life in a pair of athletic shorts or swim trunks and honestly, you should continue to do so. The best swim trunks for men on the market this summer guarantee that you can continue to travel, lounge, and swim in style and comfort.

The new standard for men’s swim trunks is that they should have some sort of a hybrid quality. A good pair of board shorts can be worn for everyday athletic activities and to the beach. Plus, they should be made with quick-drying material to help you go from activity to activity with ease. Brands like Saturdays NYC have perfected the hybrid swim trunk. With a strong array of color and style selections and a long list of positive reviews, you’ll want to wear your swim trunks even when you’re not going anywhere near water. 

Versatility can also be found in more traditional styles, like a brief. Speedo makes swimming briefs that will perform just as well in the water as they will in your Instagram thirst trap picture. 

If you’re in the market for a new pair of swim trunks, there’s one key style rule to follow in 2023: don’t buy a pair that hits at or below the knee. A five to seven-inch inseam is your best bet for scoring style points in the sand.

If you’ve heard of the brand Saturdays NYC, it was probably in the context of their signature swim shorts. The Talley Swim Short is a fan favorite and comes in a handful of palatable summer colors. They have a mesh lining and are designed to be worn from day activities to the pool and back.
