Buyer's guide
Swim trunks for shorter men.
Under 5 foot 8. 17 reviews on which length stops the trunks wearing you.
Standard swim trunks are cut for a 6 foot man and hit a shorter man at the knee, which shortens the leg further. The 3 and 5 inch inseams fix that. 17 reviews come from men who give a height under 5 foot 8, and every one is five star. The 3 inch is the classic choice; the 5 inch works for men who want a little more cover without going near the knee.

The fit is right on, I like the length as I am 5'7" and do not like swim trunks at or below the knee. I bought 1 pair and liked them so much bought 2 ...
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 quality of this bathing suit was far better than I expected. The fit is perfect and the 5" length is perfect for a shorter guy.
Perfect fit. I am 5 ft 3 inches tall and 150lbs. I received numerous compliments on the vibrate colors and fit. I bought 3 pairs!
Just what he was looking for, with the fun print, built in underwater, no elastic, and the shorter inseam for his shorter legs!
I like the fact that you offer a 3 inch short I have short legs and it works out well however they do run small. I normally wear a 3233. I bought a large and they fit perfect. They were a little pricey, but worth it. You should run specials every now and then.
Great fit. I sm 5'7", around 170lbs and it fits just perfect. This is the third one bought.
