Sandy Runway 2022: Top 10 Beachwear Brands For Men This Summer
The beach season has arrived, and it's time to choose the best look. The ideal pair of swimming trunks should blend in with the rest of your clothing, from the fit and the fabric to the detailing, and not appear out of place whether you're lounging at home, going for a jog, or hitting the eatery down the street. Here are the top brands and models that feature everything you'll need to shine this summer:
Venroy
Venroy is one of the best brands for beach and pool fashion not just because of its selection of superior leisurewear and sleek linen shirts, but also because of its wide range of men's swim shorts. The moment you put on a pair of Venroy shorts, you realise how easy it can be to stand out when toeing along the sand or swimming.
Get yourself some Orlebar Brown board shorts if you want to feel young again, or to impress the crowd. The British swim short experts design their swimwear specifically for marine enthusiasts, which means they fit snugly and never become soggy. They carry a fantastic variety of board shorts with printed images, including this magnificent one displaying surfers riding an enormous wave at Waimea Bay, photographed by Neil Leifer in 1967.
When it comes to swimwear, Prada's Re-Nylon fabric is one of the best choices you can make. The sustainable fabric, manufactured from recovered ocean plastics, has been upgraded in classic Prada style with a striking orange citrus shade and an embroidered white emblem on the back pocket. Add in a matching accessory, and these shorts will become a necessity for your summer vacation.
Loro Piana rigorously selects materials for their swimwear to offer maximum comfort and durability and give a head start to men in the beach lifestyle. These shorts are produced in Italy from a quick-drying shell that is soft and silky against the skin, as well as being lined with breathable mesh for support. To keep your poolside items safe and secure, use the rope loop and Velcro®-fastening flap pocket.
The Vilebrequin turtle is a swimwear classic, resurfacing in various shapes with each new season. This vibrant turquoise pair, which brings a splash of summer to beach style this year, features iconic sea turtles all over the brand's ever-trusty, fast-drying spinnaker canvas.
Renowned as a regal French luxury clothing house, Zilli will elevate your beach look this summer with this blue swimwear and its fish all-over print. For ultimate comfort, there is a short cut in brushed polyamide to ensure maximum softness and rapid drying, with a drawstring belt and refined accents.
Established in Sydney and inspired by the beach lifestyle, Commas created a name for itself with simple, stylish summer looks. These pastel shoreline-print twill swim shorts are a highlight of the company's current offerings, best matched with a flowing, oversized white linen shirt - something the brand also excels at.
If you're going to wear swim briefs this summer, CDLP is the brand to go for. Coming in a range of colourways, including a lush sage green, this design is a significantly hotter choice for your beach style. Don't forget that wearing less cloth means you'll be swimming lengths quicker.
We believe that guys should always get swim shorts that will make them feel as cool as their favourite jeans or the trainers they love. That’s why one of our favourite swimwear brands is Katama, founded by male model Garrett Neff. These classic mid-length trey trunks will fit any body type, making you feel casual yet cool.
The two young entrepreneur founders of MC2 Saint Barth worked in the textile sector before creating a brand inspired by beauty, refinement, and pragmatism. Just look at this stylish and contemporary design, with its colours perfectly conveying the relaxing vibe of the Caribbean. What’s more, all the brand’s swimwear is recycled - so bonus karma points for buying from them.
