What kind of boardshorts are you wearing this Beach season

[bimmernate]

I got a pair of black Polo classic looking shorts, some Martha's Vineyard that have a cinched waist that I still havent decided on, and a pair of Hurleys.

Still trying to find the right ones. Everything is either frumpy or juvenile or expensive. Or obnoxious.

See those just look way too "California lifeguard" to me.

That's because they are.

I have some polo sport trunks from years ago, check out vilebrequin like whodini said.

What they said. Plus, boardshorts are horrible for the dynamics of actual swimming. Too much resistance.

Orlebar Brown's look excellent (especially the bulldog model), but I'm a bit hesitant about the price tag. They're nice, but £122 nice?

I'll prolly end up getting a pair in navy anyways.

^^ yeah but the point of board shorts are for just chillin on the beach or by the pool, not for doing olympic swimming. With boardshorts you can go to the market to get a six pack. With a speedo I'm not sure you can walk around anywhere.

And I'm not talking about super baggy boardshorts. I wear them at right about the knee or just above.

To save everybody else some time, the price ********** and bone shorts is... $215.

Geez.

Birdwells. Mine just came in the mail yesterday. Burgundy mid-thigh trunks sized up 2 from my waist size. Also, they came with a catalog that had some pretty cool color/stripe combinations. Here's one of the pages.

I really wish I knew about these before I bought my parke and ronen. I like mine but I'd like these better. I might just buy another pair, how did you size them?

 

[jet]

I haven't bought them yet, some say size one up and some say size 2.

 

[Coldsnap]

word, well I usually buy stuff thats 30 waist but I'm a true 33 so I got a 32.

I have a pair of Modern Amusement shorts that I like a lot, the colors might be too flashy for some though.
