Best Men's Swim Shorts

Our selection of the best men's swim shorts for UK shoppers

Looking for the best men's swim shorts for your holiday? Our four picks are the Speedo Essential 16 inch watershorts, the Quiksilver Everyday 15 inch swim shorts, Ript board shorts and Arcweg board shorts. All four have a mesh lining.

Check the leg length first: the Speedo is 16 inch and the Quiksilver 15 inch. Among these top men's swim shorts, three have a drawstring waist and the Quiksilver is laced. If you carry keys, the Arcweg has two zipped pockets and the Quiksilver a back pocket with a hook-and-loop fastener.

How we choose: lined swim shorts with the fabric, fit and pocket details on the listing. We have not tested these items ourselves, so the best men's swim shorts here are chosen from the specifications and maker information. Live price and stock are on Amazon.
