Break out the rosé to celebrate the start of summer! Memorial Day weekend for most New Yorkers consist of traveling to the Hamptons, but for most others, it means getting outside to BBQ, swim and have some fun. You’ve been working out for weeks to achieve a beach body status (right?), now it’s time to invest in a pair of tailored swim trunks.
Swim shorts with between three to six-inch inseams are ideal for any body type. Athletic bodies pair nicely with fitted suits that have racing stripes and bright colors. Skinnier dudes look great in suits with narrow leg openings and fun vibrant prints.

Whether your sailing on a boat, sitting on the beach, or drinking at the bar, these trunks’ versatility will last all summer long. With the change of a polo, or a tee, or an oxford, these shorts can be worn from sun up to sun down. Picking up a pair from brands like Park and Ronen, Onia, and Orlebar Brown is the perfect start to enjoying the surf and sun.
