What to know about men’s swimwear

 

            Swimsuits were originally created to absorb water and dry quickly by using materials like wool or nylon, contrary to cotton, which took much longer to dry and stuck to skin in an uncomfortable way. Think of when you wear socks and accidently get them wet - not the best feeling in the world, right? It was the same idea for swimsuits. Due to chaffing and skin irritation concerns, we strongly recommend getting quality swimwear! Quality is all about material. You don’t have to spend a fortune on swimwear, especially since it’s not an item for daily use.

            Modesty was a big thing in the early 1900s when swimwear came about. Although recreational swimming was usually done in the nude, the change inspired many different styles and also protests. It was common for men’s swimwear to come with a top and bottom - tank suits were a style used often that was designed with short sleeves and knee length bottoms.

 

As the times changed, so did swimwear. In fact, more and more parts of swimwear for men were removed. From more generous cuts for armholes, to the option of two-piece sets, the market was evolving to the consumer demands.

            Once the idea of tops in men’s swimwear was vanquished, the market focused on style and accessories, which included beach shoes, robes, sunglasses, and hats. Patterns, colors, and different textures were all a part of the process to appease any type of man during leisurely activities. Men in America during the 21st century have simplified the swimsuit look and grew to prefer loose-fitting swim trunks (but there will still be the occasional Speedos on the beach!).

 

What’s the difference between swim shorts & swim trunks?

 

            The major differences between the swim short and swim trunk are in the style and features. More specifically, they can be worn in completely different instances. Starting with swim shorts they are the more practical item for being in water due to the materials. They ensure a quick dry and appropriate length to combat issues of irritation. If you like surfing or doing cannonballs into the pool, swim shorts are the best option for you.

            Now with swim trunks they are created for style rather than practicality. Now while these are the best for chilling on the beach or pairing with everyday clothing items to achieve the beach/surfer vibe, you can surely still utilize them for swimming purposes. The drawstring and pocket features on these shorts show how these are made for use outside the water. To hold your cell phone or even sunglasses, swim trunks are an ideal staple item for your summer wardrobe.

            Whether you wear shorts or trunks, they both serve a purpose for comfort, style, and usefulness. Brooklyn Cloth has a variety of swimwear to choose from to exceed expectations. From aesthetics to material, just know we have you covered. Details are necessary, so we implemented side pockets, elastic drawstrings, and mesh lining. These shorts are great for in and out of the water, so don’t be afraid to have some fun while wearing your swim shorts!

 

Activities fit for swimwear

 

            Going to the beach is a relaxing time where you can sit and bask in the sun, take a swim in the ocean, or get active and play a few games in the sand. Whichever option fits you best it is crucial to see what swim items are more practical for each activity. Having an adjustable waistband and quick-dry material is a big part of a good pair of swim shorts. Ultimately picking the right swim trunks will help you feel cool, comfortable, and at ease because nothing is worse than having a wardrobe malfunction at the beach!

 

• Beach Volleyball

 

In the sand it can get a bit rough, especially playing an intensive game of beach volleyball. To combat the uneven playing ground, we suggest following the advice of Olympic athletes who train to compete every 4 years in this sport. Male beach volleyball players typically try to limit the amount of clothing they wear during a game while also understanding weather conditions and needing to regulate their body temperature. Since the game is played in the beaming hot sun, we suggest a loose tank top and breathable swim trunks. Brooklyn Cloth has your back with our Dusty Blue Swim trunks that bring a fresh and upbeat feel to the court!

 

• Seashell Hunting

 

The ideal family and friend bonding activity to hunt seashells to take home as a new collection is an awesome beach activity. For family-friendly swim trunks with a vintage feel, Brooklyn Cloth has our Golden Vertical Stripe Shorts that keep it subtle with a timeless vibe.

 

• Soccer

 

For some sports action with your friends, get down and dirty in our Hunter Green Swim Shorts that have a dope look with subtle colors that won’t easily show stains. Soccer can get intense, so we want you to feel secure with what you’re wearing even in competitive soccer. It gets a bit physical, which means you need swim trunks with a strong elastic waistband to ensure you can have fun in the roughest situations without worrying about fashion mishaps.

 

 

Which swim trunks hug you best?

 

            Finding swimwear that fits you can be a bit intimidating, but the effort is worth the result in the end. There are certain criteria to hit when looking for swim trunks, including:

 

• Body type
• Comfortability
• Modesty levels
• Personality

 

Brooklyn Cloth is confident in our TRUE FIT items that offer more bang for your buck. Elastic drawstring waistbands adjust to your body and breathable poly fleece material both help you avoid irritation while taking a swim. Along with assistance before purchasing, we offer an accurate size guide for height, width, and length. Besides the measurements of the model, here are some ways to figure out your size:

 

• Tape measure

Measure snug around your waist and then move to the fullest part of your hips.

• Shoelace

As long as you have a ruler, you can mark the centimeters on a shoelace to easily tell what your measurements are!
