Buyer's guide

Slim fit swim trunks for men.

A tailored cut in 51 reviews: who it flatters and who should size up.

Yes, these are slim fit, and they stay comfortable because the shell stretches four ways. The only men who should size up are athletes with large quads. 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. 51 reviews describe the fit as slim, tailored or fitted, and the group averages 4.76. 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.

Love the fitted insides rather than the netting!! Have only worn a couple of weeks, so jury still out on quality!! Size seems pretty spot on, although mine maybe touch tight!! Overall, really like them, so does my wife!!

The other side

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

had to pay for shipping twice 1st order never made it to me. they feel like great quality but hold tons of water and they don't sit down on the waist. they tend to sit just below the belly. I think they're great for slim straight build. im 5-8 185lb muscular build and don't think I'll be able to use these. I was hoping to have found something new and get a few different colors but don't thinks so after wearing them. I used in .y hot tub last night and wrung them out and their still wet this morn...

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.
