Rokka&Rolla Quick Dry Swim Trunks
These board shorts have all that fancy sun protection, they dry quickly, and you pretty much know the deal. These ones are super soft, which is always nice since you don’t want to feel like your shorts are part of the process of sand being grinded into glass with the help of your ass. No one needs that, so suit up in these, and forget all that talk about glass ass grinding. Unless you’re into that. No judgments.

Nonwe Men’s Swim Trunks
The color schemes available here are a bit above and beyond some of the other stodgier swim trunks. Now, I’m not saying those other swim trunks are just for old dudes and Mormons, but I’m not not saying that either. Listen, the bottom line is this: these are a great pair of swim shorts that feature all the SPF protection and quick drying technology you know and love, it’s just that sometimes it simply comes down to wanting a pair of swim shorts that make you pop in a crowd. That’s all.

anqier Men’s Swim Trunks
These are Amazon’s number one new release in swim shorts for whatever that’s worth. They check all the boxes you’d expect, and I’m not sure why swim shorts would need new releases, but then again, I’m not a scientist tasked with protecting our young men on their beach days, now am I? But hey, if you’re looking for the freshest swim shorts, you might as well start with the newest and best in swim short technology. Or the ones everyone else is apparently buying anyway.

Speedo Men’s Swimsuit
Yeah, I had to go there. I know that you’re out there. You know that you’re out there. You are a pervert or maybe just a narcissist, but I can’t stop you from going to the beach, and I can’t stop you from rocking whatever situation you have going for yourself. It’s in the Constitution. All I ask is that you think really hard about whether you can pull this off. If the answer is yes, still think really hard about it. But, if you absolutely have to rock the full Speedo look, these are the swim shorts for you.
