Known for their cutting edge underwear and contoured shapes that emphasize your package, 2(X)IST is moving onto beachwear. The brand offers an attractive alternative to the typical baggy swim shorts, which have dominated high street stores way past their sell by date.
An awesome range of color makes these carefully tailored, 50s style garments a winner for the summer weather. Labor day is right around the corner so I know I’ll be wearing any of these swim trunks below. In particular, the Men’s (X)-Print Hampton Swim Shorts are a favorite here at PinstripeMag.
For those of us not wanting to change our look drastically from the baggy board short, look below an alternative would be the red Men’s Sport Maui Board Shorts. However, the current trend for swimwear especially abroad is a slimmer, shorter option; more akin to a pair of tailored shorts in length than the below-the-knee board shorts that have become the perennial favorite among misguided beach goers.
The benefits of current swimwear cuts are that they can easily transcend from beachwear to bar and don’t look out of place. The slimmer, shorter cuts in bolder, brighter prints and colors are a daring show of confidence in comparison to the standard board varieties – instantly setting you apart from 90% of men you’ll see on the beaches of NY/NJ.
