Men's Square-Cut Swim Trunks
Square-cut swim trunks keep the fitted, stretchy feel of a swim brief but cut straight across the upper thigh. The result is more coverage at the hip and thigh with a clean, tailored silhouette that still looks sleek in the water. In the US, "swim trunks" often means loose swim shorts; these are the fitted square-leg style.
They are a great middle ground if you like a close fit but are not ready for the high leg of a brief. Current styles include the American Stripe Square-Cut Swim Trunks in yellow pinstripe, the Narcissus Print Swim Trunks and the Abstract Print Swim Trunks. Several prints also come as swim briefs, so you can choose the same design in either shape.
All trunks are $34.90, sizes M–XXL, sold individually.
