Men's Swimwear Guide - Bathing Suits for Gentlemen: Trunks, Briefs & Speedos

About this video

The Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to selecting men’s swimwear that flatters your body type and personal style. They cover the history of men’s swimwear, explain different styles from briefs to board shorts, offer styling advice based on height and build, discuss color and pattern choices, and share practical do’s and don’ts for finding and caring for quality swimwear.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends choosing swimwear based on your height and build to create balanced proportions—tall men should avoid speedos and wear longer trunks with 8-10 inch inseams, while shorter men should opt for shorter inseams (5 inches or less) to elongate the leg line
• The Gazette team advises selecting classic colors like navy, reds, and greens with patterns such as stripes, checks, or small micro-patterns, while avoiding light colors that show through and bold neon hues that look excessive
• The Gazette team emphasizes practical care and fit: rinse swimwear after every wear to extend fabric life, always try on garments across brands due to sizing inconsistencies, choose nylon or cotton-nylon blends over polyester when possible, and stock up on styles you love since classic swimwear models frequently go out of production
