Avoid Wringing: Instead of wringing out your swim trunks to remove excess water, gently press them between two clean towels to absorb moisture.

While the type of closure is mainly down to personal preference I will give you two types to avoid. If a swimsuit has either a velcro-only closure or a faux drawstring (that doesn’t go all the way around) then you’ll want to pass on it.I’ll be the first person to admit that I don’t know how fabric works. I don’t know how one pair of nylon swim trunks can feel like a paper bag, another one can feel like a WW2 parachute, and another can be soft and comfortable.

Try Before You Buy: If possible, try on swim trunks before purchasing to ensure they fit comfortably and flatter your body shape. If you’re a big guy, a bit of stretch will make all the difference in how your clothing (not just swim trunks) fit and how long they last. So if you’re in the fat camp as well (not literally…there’s no swimming at fat camp…) and want a decent bathing suit this summer for pool, lake, or beach time, I’ve got you covered. In other words, a quality swimsuit makes me feel like a fat guy wearing a swimsuit rather that an obese guy in a sausage casing. Dark Colors and Patterns: Dark-colored swim trunks or those with vertical stripes can create a slimming effect, while bold patterns can divert attention away from areas you may be less comfortable with.Well, hopefully, most of these are common sense and you should know them already. But if you don’t, a bit of course correction could make you more confident. Tailored Fit: Look for swim trunks that have a slightly tailored or tapered fit. Avoid overly baggy styles that can add unnecessary bulk. Practice good hygiene and grooming. I hate to say it, but many of the things I do as a fat guy are to avoid standing out. This includes having great hygiene. Nobody wants to be the fat guy that also has bad hair, who also sweats a lot, who also has shoulder hair, etc. So get a haircut, trim your body hair, etc. These are things that have nothing to do with your size that can improve your looks. High-Waisted Options: High-waisted swim trunks can help to conceal the belly area and provide additional coverage. Air Dry: Hang your swim trunks to air dry in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight. Excessive sunlight can fade colors and damage the fabric. Do not use a clothes dryer, as the heat can cause shrinking and fabric damage.

Compression or Lining: Some swim trunks come with built-in compression features or lining that can provide extra support and help create a more flattering silhouette. Accessorize Wisely: Wearing sunglasses, a stylish hat, or a cool beach shirt can divert attention from your swim trunks and enhance your overall look. You can also find the newest range of swimming trunks in our men's swimwear collection. Browse for Arena, Funky Trunks, Halocline and more for classic and bold designs and find your perfect pair.Most big guys want to cover up as much of their bodies as possible and end up doing themselves a disservice.

What I do know is that the overall feel and function of the material is the most important thing in a swimsuit. Rinse Pool Chemicals Promptly: If you’ve been in a pool with chlorine, rinse your swim trunks as soon as possible to minimize the chemical’s impact on the fabric. Orlebar Brown makes swim shorts that look so good on land but can still let you have at it in the deep ocean. Its signature Bulldog style, which offers over 30 patterns, looks like tailored chinos, especially in this geometric print that is dressy enough for a summer wedding. Their liner is comfortable and supportive, and the fabric keeps you dry and cool. The stretch is a bit questionable, but our testing editor was able to move with ease in them. The tailored fit makes them perfect for styling with polo shirts or short-sleeve shirts and loafers. A too-long swimsuit gives the impression that you are a marshmallow on legs. People see your big belly and upper body and then see nothing until your calves, the skinniest part of your legs. This suit is an extended-size version (with American flag patches) of the Hyperfreak, one of their most popular men’s swimsuits.Confidence is Key: Ultimately, feeling confident in your swim trunks is crucial. Choose a style that makes you feel good about yourself, and remember that confidence can enhance your overall appearance. The men's swim shorts are more appropriate for the leisure swimmer and are perfect for in or out of the pool. Our men's swimwear collection provides a huge range of men's swimming shorts choice and sizes from the leading swimwear brands like Nike, Zoggs, Speedo and more. So while I am not knowledgeable to recommend a specific material, I found options that dried fast, were comfortable and had a bit of stretch to them. The hook and loop closure provides you with the versatility to tighten or loosen the swim trunks to accommodate your waist size. The logo patch can be removed or repositioned for your preference. Our men’s swim shorts are equipped with UPF 50+ to help protect you from harmful UV rays if your activity requires a dip in the water. Even if you have a nice swimsuit you can still mess things up. Who knew that wearing a swimsuit could be so complex?
