The 5 best swim trunk trends for men in 2025
Summer is so close you can almost smell the sea breeze! If maritime holidays and pool parties are on your calendar for the next few months, why not update your swimwear collection with the latest trends? Here are the five hot styles that, according to the experts, are guaranteed to be all the rage this year.
Matters of length
Before diving into the nitty gritty of the trendiest men’s swimwear, it’s time to answer the question on everyone’s lips: what length swim trunks are in style for summer 2025? The answer, similarly to last year, is 1970s-inspired, short, short trunks. Knee-grazing board shorts? Unequivocally out. Inseams five inches and below? So in!
This year, swimwear trends for men lean decidedly formal—or at least as formal as you can be with your toes in the sand—, with tailored styles taking over their drawstring counterparts. Orlebar Brown is one of the most well-known and iconic brands that mastered this style. Whether you go monochrome or decide for a fun print, tailored trunks will take you effortlessly from beach to bar.

While minimalist sensibilities are undoubtedly on the rise, we still see the appeal of a brightly-coloured pair of swim trunks.
Sorbet hues, rich greens, electric blues, and bright purples are all super stylish choices for summer 2025, but it might be worth it to do a little research on colour theory before dabbling in them.
