What’s the difference between types of men's swimsuits?
Swim trunks usually describe short, loose swimsuits of varying styles and designs. They usually have a mesh lining and are made of polyester or nylon, making them fast-drying. Board shorts are typically longer with a tighter fit in the waist and a length that comes to about the knee. Briefs have a form-fitting silhouette that usually covers the pelvis and bottom only, which helps competitive swimmers achieve faster speeds. Square leg shorts offer a length between briefs and trunks for a bit more coverage.
What are the benefits of getting a swim shirt?
Often called "rash guards," these athletic shirts have been popular with surfers for many years. These optional swim shirts are usually made of spandex, nylon, or both to protect skin from the sun's ultraviolet rays and chafing in the water. These lightweight shirts are designed to provide coverage while letting your skin breathe and typically come in short- and long-sleeved versions.
What features should I look for when buying a swimsuit?
Personal style, height, and build are among some of the main factors that drive men’s swimsuit choices. The features you might consider include material. Polyester can break down relatively quickly, making nylon and nylon-cotton blends more lasting choices. For versatility and a custom fit, look for a suit with a drawstring waist that allows you to tighten and loosen as needed. Beyond those basics, consider the style, pattern, and color.
