Finding Your Perfect Men's Swimwear: Trunks, Board Shorts, and More
Getting ready for a family day at the beach, a trip to the pool, or a lakeside adventure means making sure everyone is comfortable and ready for fun. For men, choosing the right swimwear is about more than just looking good; it's about comfort, performance, and how well it suits your activities. Whether you're splashing with the kids, catching a wave, or just lounging by the water, Kohl's is here to help you find the best men's swimwear that fits your needs.
Swim Trunks: The Classic Choice
Swim trunks are often what comes to mind when you think of men's swimwear. They are a popular choice for all kinds of water activities and casual wear around the pool or beach. Look for options from popular brands like Nike or Lands' End.
- Look and Feel: Swim trunks usually have an elastic waistband, often with a drawstring for a secure fit. They tend to be shorter than board shorts, with various inseam lengths (the measurement from the crotch to the bottom hem of the leg) that can range from a comfortable mid-length to shorter styles.
- Built-in Liner: Most swim trunks come with an inner mesh liner, which provides support and helps prevent chafing. This netting is a key feature that helps keep everything in place and allows for quick drainage of water.
- Best For: Swim trunks are excellent for everyday swimming, lounging, and playing with the family. Their comfortable fit and built-in support make them a go-to for pool parties, beach trips, and just relaxing by the water. They are designed for ease of movement in and out of the water.
Board Shorts: Built for Action
Board shorts have a distinct origin and design, primarily catering to surfers and active water sports enthusiasts. However, their comfortable style has made them popular for general beach and casual wear, too. Popular brands of board shorts include Quiksilver and Trinity Coast.
- Look and Feel: Board shorts are typically longer than swim trunks, often reaching the knee or just above. They usually feature a fixed waistband with a tie closure in the front, instead of elastic. They generally do not have an inner mesh liner.
- Material and Design: These shorts are often made from strong, quick-drying, and stretchy fabrics, like four-way stretch blends with elastane. This gives them great flexibility and movement, which is essential for activities like surfing. They also tend to have fewer seams to reduce rubbing.
- Best For: Board shorts are ideal for high-energy water sports like surfing, paddleboarding, and wakeboarding, where maximum mobility and no inner liner are preferred. Many men also choose them for their casual, laid-back style, wearing them as regular shorts both in and out of the water. They offer a relaxed fit that can be very comfortable for all-day wear.
Choosing the Best Swimwear for Your Family Adventures
From durable materials that stand up to active play, to chafe-free liners for all-day comfort, and quick-drying fabrics that keep you ready for anything, the right men's swimwear enhances every splash and every moment with your loved ones. Explore our collection at Kohl's to find the perfect fit for your next family adventure.
