We ask a lot from our gym shorts. They need to stretch this way and that; they need to endure sweat and odor; they need to have strategically placed pockets and loops for holding your keys, phone and/or wallet; and they need to pass muster at your sidewalk brunch table.
So why not ask all of that from your swim trunks, too? They endure more abuse in the water (whether you’re surfing or wakesurfing) and you’re definitely going from the beach to the bar (we’ll skip the boardroom this time, thank you), so you’ll have to forego the American flag print.
Thankfully, the company that perfected the workout short has tackled the swimsuit as well. That would be Lululemon, of course, and a variety of their trunks are on sale up to 30% off right now. We’ve collected our four favorites below, all featuring four-way stretch fabric, available in most sizes and running the gamut of lengths from thigh-revealers to ‘90s boardshorts.
Lane Line Short 6”
Namaste at the Beach Short 8”
Current State Board Short 9”
Channel Cross Swim Short 5″
