2017 Men's Swim Trunks Try On (H&M, Gap, Forever 21, Ralph Lauren, Hugo Boss, Vans and MORE)

About this video

McGoff reviews multiple swim trunk options from various retailers to find styles that fit shorter men with slimmer builds. He evaluates fit, length, taper, and pattern choices across brands including H&M, Nordstrom Rack, Vans, and others, sharing his preferences for traditional swim trunks over board shorts and explaining why certain cuts work better for men with his body type.

Key takeaways

• McGoff recommends traditional swim trunks with mesh lining and drawstrings over board shorts for shorter and smaller-framed men, arguing board shorts create an unflattering juvenile appearance on those builds
• McGoff advises swim trunks should hit at least a couple inches above the knee, feature a slim and tapered leg, and avoid overly bold patterns in favor of solid colors or subtle designs for timelessness
• McGoff found H&M extra small sizes to offer the best fit for his 5'6" and 120-pound frame, followed by options at Nordstrom Rack and Gap, while many mainstream brands like Polo Ralph Lauren and Hugo Boss run too full in the legs for slimmer builds
