Long swim shorts men

Swim shorts are some of the most popular swimwear for men, which is also the reason they come in many shapes and colours. As such, here on this page you can of course find a wide selection of long swim shorts for men, that fits any occasion - no matter if you're going to the beach or the pool. We also have short swim shorts for men, and even swim shorts for women.

Find the swim shorts that suits your style

There are widely differing opinions when it comes to which swim shorts are currently up-to-date. It almost always depends on a personal preference, which is also the reason as to why there are so many types of swim shorts. Some are completely simple and in solid colours, others have a more muted pattern and then there are those where the design is just the main focal point.

But just because you prefer a pair of plain men's long swim shorts, they certainly don't have to be boring. Therefore, in this category, you will be able to find a pair of really nice and wonderful red long swim shorts as well, which are guaranteed to give associations to 'Baywatch'. And who doesn't want to be compared to 'The Hoff' when they're at the beach or by the pool?

If you are a bigger fan of a more dampened style, we also have various long swim shorts with a discreet pattern, but still in a fresh design. It allows you to obtain a pair of long swim shorts with a pattern that is still very stylish in its expression.

Therefore, it is also entirely up to you which style you prefer, but you can at least be sure of one thing: We only carry the best quality long swim shorts for men, so you can be sure they are comfortable and dry quickly as soon as you get out of the water.

Is there a difference between long and short swim shorts?

The biggest difference between the two types of swim shorts is - quite obviously - in the name itself. The short swim shorts typically go to about the middle of the thighs, while the long swim shorts can go all the way down to the knees (or longer). Each has their own advantages and disadvantages, but basically it depends on what you feel the most comfortable with.

The long swim shorts are very similar in their design and length to ordinary men's shorts. This makes them more versatile, as you can use them both as swim shorts and regular shorts. Therefore, they are also perfect for the hike, where you want to jump in the water once in a while.

Due to their longer legs, they will also provide more warmth around the thighs, but you will also find that they cling more to the thighs when you get out of the water. Some might not notice or mind this, while others find it incredibly annoying. If you're amongst the people who don't like wet clothes sticking to the skin, we'd recommend a pair of short swim shorts for men or maybe even a pair of swim trunks.

The biggest difference between the two types of swim shorts lies, of course, in the name. The short swim shorts reach about mid-thigh, while the long swim shorts can go all the way down to the knees. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but ultimately it comes down to what you feel most comfortable with.

Obviously there are criteria like style and colour, but there are other things you should consider. In particular, the importance of the materials when it comes to the degree of comfort you will experience when you wear your swim shorts.

Some come in nylon and polyamide, which has a slightly rougher texture, but is extremely quick-drying. Others come in a mix of nylon and elastane, which makes them appear softer and with a little more stretch. You can't say that one is better than the other, so it all depends on what you feel most comfortable with.

In addition to this, you should also consider whether you just need a pair of long swim shorts with elastic at the top or whether you also need a lace. If you choose a pair with just elastic at the top, be sure that the size and fit are correct.

If you get hold of a pair that are just slightly too large, you may end up having them falling off when you swim or jump into the water. Not a desirable situation. If you instead pick a pair with both elastic and laces, you have the option of lacing them up to suit your fit. This gives you more room to manoeuvre in relation to the sizes. For some, however, ties can feel uncomfortable, as it can give a feeling of rubbing against the waistband when they are laced.

Again, it all comes down to your own personal preference and what you will be using your long swim shorts for.

Extend the life of your swim shorts with the proper care

Like with much other swimwear and swim gear, salt and chlorine water is very hard on the materials they're made from. This also goes for swim shorts, even though they are slightly more forgiving than other types of swimwear. This means:

• Most swim shorts can handle a machine wash at maximum 30 degrees
• They can't be put in the dryer
• Avoid wringing them dry
• They prefer to air dry in the shade
• Don't iron or bleach, and preferably wash them without fabric softener
• Should be rinsed in cold fresh water after each use

These are, however, only general directions, which means that the different swim shorts can come with their own directions. You should always read the label before you wash them, so you can look after your swim shorts as much as possible.
