    THE CONTINENTAL

    Hey, going to the Mediterranean soon? Just want to look like you're going to the Mediterranean soon? Without, you know, going full Speedo? This is the suit you want to Euro-rock this summer.

    THE TRUNK & THE RUNNER

    (from left)Since they're cut high up on your thighs (like your favorite boxer briefs), trunks look best on guys who've spent all winter locked in the gym. Wear them with ridiculous confidence and at least four visible abs.

    The cutaway sides are there to keep your legs swinging free. So pull on a pair before heading out for a jog on the sand—and then, when you're good and sweaty, wear 'em straight into the ocean to cool off.

    The Surfer pt. 1

    Surfers are the 2016 version of board shorts, with thick retro stripes that make skinny guys look less scrawny. Please note that “2016 version” means “hems nowhere near your knees.”

    THE CONVERTIBLE PT. 1

    Decked out with the trappings of regular shorts, plus the quick-drying properties of a swimsuit, they're called “convertibles” because they easily transition from outdoors to indoors—not because you're always pulling them up and down like the roof of a Miata.
