How to Pick Swim Shorts That Make You Look (and Feel) Like a 10
The Best Men’s Swim Shorts for Style, Comfort & Sustainability
Let’s be honest, most men’s swimwear gets bought in a rush and regretted by the pool. But if you’re ready to upgrade from throwaway trunks to men’s swim shorts that actually flatter your body, fit well, and make you feel good, you’re in the right place.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to choose the best men’s swim shorts that make you look like a 10, while doing your part to clean the ocean. Because confidence and sustainability go hand-in-hand.
👌 1. Fit Is Everything
The right swim shorts can change everything.
Here’s what to look for:
-
Tailored fit structured but not restrictive
-
5–7 inch inseam, the golden zone for most men
-
Mid-rise waist, no sagging, no digging in
At Sandbar, our men’s recycled swim shorts are designed to flatter real bodies, not just models on yachts.
🎨 2. Choose Prints That Work Harder (Like Embroidery)
Forget loud graphics. Go for timeless.
-
🦞 Embroidered Red Lobster Swim Shorts - subtle, sharp, unforgettable
-
🐢 Mini Turtle Motifs - low-key with a cause
-
🌴 Tropical Palms - relaxed but refined
These designs aren’t just stylish, they’re available in family matching swimwear sets, so you can coordinate with your crew.
♻️ 3. Prioritize Eco-Friendly Swimwear
Swim shorts that look good should also do good.
Sandbar’s swimwear is made from 100% recycled plastic bottles, and each pair funds the removal of 1 kilo of plastic from the ocean. It’s not a marketing gimmick. It’s measurable impact you can see in your customer account.
You’re not just buying swim shorts. You’re backing the planet.
📸 4. Think About the Photos (Yes, Really)
Every beach trip has a camera moment. So go for:
-
Flattering colours (navy, olive, blush tones)
-
Clean design (no oversized logos)
-
Good tailoring (your future self in pics will thank you)
🏖 5. Wear Them Beyond the Beach
The best swim shorts double as casual shorts.
Our designs go from sand to street seamlessly.
Pair with:
-
A linen shirt or tee
-
Slides or espadrilles
-
A cold drink and your best smug grin
Final Word: Look Good. Feel Good. Do Good.
