Board Shorts for Men!



Hey y'all, since we made an amazing post yesterday for the ladies..we had to make sure we came with it for the fellas today. We're going to do our best to give y'all some tips on selecting board-shorts for these summer months!

Now we're aware that the Jordan Shorts be coming through, when it comes to those last minute decisions to go swimming. However, they can be very unflattering when it comes to getting out the pool. Let's just say the surrounding audience may get a little more than they ask for....(butt peeks lol!!) No but seriously, the material of the Jordan Shorts soaks up all the water, and it makes it very difficult for you to keep them up, in and out of the water. So check out some of the options below for different styles.



Let's start off with these board-shorts..These are going to be swim-trunks closest to what you may be used to  when it comes to Jordan Shorts. Not so much in the material, but more so when it comes to the length. They come in a various amount of colors and patterns and you can purchase them just about anywhere that sells men's fashion. If you look over to the picture, the man is wearing board-shorts. They are up on his waist and they hit him right at the knee. This is a very flattering look, and they give you some extra breathing room something that you should be looking for when it comes to a short...so that you're not overheated.


Here are some links to some different board-shorts:
-If you're on the slim side (we're talking soulja boy, wiz khalifa slim) we suggest going with a horizontal stripe, something similar to those to the left.It gives you a little more width and could be just what you need to stand out amongst the buff guys in the water. Here is a link for horizontal stripes...Even these Quiksilver Board Shorts will work!


-Looking to look a little taller, vertical stripes is what you look for, also try going with a lighter color. Like the ones to the right..They give the illusion of you looking longer and leaner. Check out these, they'll give you the length you need.

-Want to stand out at the pool? Try a bright or bold pattern, such as the one to the bottom left, it gives you the attention that you are longing for. Also a bold print is suggested for those that have a wider chest, and smaller legs...The loud print will bring the attention down to your shorts and balance you out. These Bob Marley Board Shorts, bring just the amount of attention you need or you could even do these Matix Brand Board shorts!

-Lastly, we wanted to give an option for those that are trying to appear a bit slimmer.(look to the right) Going with a solid darker color will do just the trick. Just like the ladies, black is your best friend when it comes to looking slim. These all black Hurley board-shorts are just what you're looking for.

Finally, we wanted to give you bold men out there our opinion on the "European" swim attire. If you want to go that route, all we can say is that we gave you some tips to make it look appropriate.
 Just make sure that the fit is correct and not too tight. Don't want them to be cutting off any circulation or cutting into your skin. Also, you may try to make sure to go with a solid color, black seems to be the most appropriate when it comes to this type of swimwear. Here's an example ;) 

Well guys, we hope this week was somewhat entertaining for you and that you found some information of use! Let us know if you have any questions or comments! Thank you for all the support.
