What to Wear to…The Water

May 31, 2012 By Caroline Fontenot

The beach, the lake, the river, the pool, the…slip ‘n slide? If it’s got water, it’s time we’re in it, folks.

Personally, I love a short inseam on swim trunks, 5” being perfect on just about every guy (in my opinion). Though, if you’re brave enough to sport a 4”, you’ll make me smile a very platonic smile as I admire your bravery and man thighs. And for the “bros” who spend most of their time on the water on a board of some sort, no, you don’t have to shop at PacSun. Options for everyone, people! Swim on.

  1. Checked | GANT for Bonobos (4”) – Not short enough? Bravery is this 3” pair.
  2. Seersucker | Ralph Lauren Hawaiian (5”)
  3. Retro | Saturdays Surf NYC (5”)
  4. Color block | Scotch & Soda  (6”)
  5. Embroidered | Castaway Clothing Woody (7”)
  6. Board Shorts (fan palms) Strong Boalt (7.5”)
  7. Classic | L.L. Bean (8”)
  8. Board Shorts (floral) | J.Crew topsail (9”)
I’ve found myself loving and wearing one pieces more than bikinis in the past two years. But, if your sole priority is to get your tan on and show off your hot bod, bikini it should be.

  1. Halter Bikini | Paul Smith Mini Dot Top & Bottom
  2. Strapless One Piece | Melissa Obadash Bahamas Bandeau
  3. Strapless Bikini | Melissa Odabash Evita Bandeau
  4. High Waisted Bikini | Kate Spade Cockatoo Calendar Girl
  5. Tankini | Old Navy Mix & Match top & bottom
  6. One Piece | J.Crew Seersucker Ruffle
