Buyer's guide

Slim fit swim trunks for men.

A tailored cut in 53 reviews: who it flatters and who should size up.

Slim fit in swimwear usually means uncomfortable. These are cut tailored, with a defined waist and a leg that follows the thigh rather than flaring, but the fabric stretches four ways and the liner is compression fabric, so the fit is close without being restrictive. 53 reviews describe the fit as slim, tailored or fitted, and the group averages 4.81. The men who rate lower are almost all athletes who stayed in their usual size.

I love them, my only suggestion is the pockets are tight for an android in a slim waterproof case.

I bought a little bigger than I needed but the fit is still very good - not baggy at all. Colour is great and feels much better on than other brands. This is my second pair.

Shorts look great on my husband, he is a shorter guy 5'9" and they are great on his body. Also they are fitted to his legs. They are super soft as well.

The other side

Every one to three star review in this group, unedited.

Do NOT fit as shown. I have muscular legs and these are huge around the legs. They also have elastic in the back of the waist which I do not want. Very poorly made and not sure who they should fit. Obviously they were custom tailored for the models.

Nice, but the cut is full and I prefer a more slim cut.

Frequently asked questions

Will they look like short shorts?
The 3 inch is deliberately short. The 5 inch is a modern mid length that reads as tailored shorts. The 7 inch is a classic length with a slimmer leg than board shorts.
Are they tight through the seat?
Fitted, not tight. If you are between sizes and prefer room, take the larger; the elasticated waist holds it.
Big legs, slim cut, which size?
One size up from your waist. The waistband takes up the slack and the leg opening stops binding.
