Understanding the Styles: Trunks, Board Shorts, and Hybrids

When browsing for big and tall swimwear, you’ll likely encounter a few different terms. Knowing the difference between these styles is the first step to finding the pair that matches your activity level and personal preference.

Classic Swim Trunks

This is the most popular choice for a reason. Swim trunks are designed for versatility and ease. They typically feature an elastic waistband with a drawstring, offering a flexible fit that moves with you. Most swim trunks come with an interior mesh lining (often called a brief) for support.

Board Shorts

Originally designed for surfers, board shorts have become a wardrobe staple for men everywhere. Unlike trunks, board shorts usually feature a fixed waistband with a lace-up tie front. They are typically longer in length, providing more coverage for the thighs.

Volley Shorts

Think of these as the shorter, sportier cousin of the swim trunk. Volley shorts usually have a full elastic waistband and a shorter inseam (often stopping mid-thigh). They are inspired by the shorts worn by beach volleyball players.
