Favorite Swim Shorts?

[johnnyblazini]

What is your favorite brand of swim shorts?

 

[JayJay]

Paul & Shark

I'm just not that picky. I like the cheapos I picked up a couple years ago as well as the Vilebrequins I bought more recently. I'm more interested in fit and features (pockets, waist style, etc.) than in brand name.

Moderately priced: Parke & Ronen snap shorts.

More of a splurge: Tomas Maier.

In either case, if you've got a spare tire, it will not work for you.

Parke and Ronen are good.
I also like RLPL and Prada

Penguin. Cool fabrics, some nice cuts, decent prices.

My favoriate to date is a pair of Holliday & Brown Special Re-Edition I got from Saks. I like its cut and print.

A few for surfing, I hardly ever swim...

grey Rip Curl boardshorts (no stitching - glued seams)

white/yellow Quiksilver boardshorts (key pocket and 2mm neoprene lined)

 

[Parker]

Birdwell and Patagonia are my faves.

Vilebrequins in a conservative pattern.

 

[JohnnyCrockett]

Patagonia Baggies.

Swim trunks >$50 are embarrassing to the wearer.
