What the AI looks for in Men's Swim Trunks
- Liner
- A soft mesh or compression liner, depending on comfort Rough mesh liners are the most common chafing complaint.
- Inseam
- Short inseams sit mid-thigh; longer ones sit near the knee Sizing doesn't tell you how long the trunks will look.
- Pockets
- Mesh-backed or drainage pockets, plus a secure back pocket Pockets that don't drain hold water and sag.
- Stretch
- Stretch fabric if you will be active Non-stretch trunks restrict movement.

- Vilebrequin: Premium resort swim shorts.
- Speedo: Affordable volley and trunk options.
