Elastic Calder Micro Strip Swim Trunks
Onia Calder Micro Strip Swim Trunks, 7.5", Color Deep Navy

Chubbies Swim Trunks
Chubbies Swim Trunks, 5.5", Color Navy with Palm Trees
$70
The other trunks on the list so far have been monochromatic and rather bland so that they can pass as both shorts and trunks, but with this pair of the notorious Chubbies, you can have the best of both worlds; a high-quality swimsuit that will last you years and a fun, playful pattern to best express your personality and taste.
Buy it here
Printed Swim Trunks
Old Navy Printed Swim Trunks, 8", Color Flamingo
$30
If you find yourself more of a traditionalist and classic man, but want a little funky color and pattern, the Old Navy Printed Trunks with the 8" inseam are just for you.

$15
Running along the beachfront is a favorite of avid runners and if you find yourself in that category, you're going to want to get yourself a pair of these runner swim shorts.

The Anchor Trunk
Fair Harbor The Anchor, 8", Color Rainbow Three Stripe

Lands' End Long Sleeve Swim Tee Rash Guard, Color Radiant Navy
$40

Plus, like many of the trunks on this list, you can just wear this shirt out and about while you're walking the dog or shopping on the pier.
