The below recommendations are what I believe to be the Best Mens Swimwear Brands – whether you like roomy board shorts or have a panache for budgie smugglers, these are the best mens swimwear brands in the world right now. The selection include stand alone swimwear brands as well as dedicated collections that are worth your attention. A lot of these brands have adopted a mantra that you can wear in the water and continue wearing throughout the day. I'd suggest going for more tailored options as rule if you want to go down that route.

Frescobol Carioca

Frescobol Carioca bring the bosa nova vibes with the spirit of Rio. Shorts are emblazoned with printed artwork inspired by the mosaic boardwalks of Rio's famed beaches (you can also opt for the block coloured option if you prefer). Made from quick-dry sustainable materials and crafted for feather-light comfort, Fresobol Carioca's swimwear is designed for beach swims as well as laidback lounging.

I've been a fan of Vilebrequin for well over a decade now, with their fun colourful patterns that are a nice addition to anyone's swimwear range. You're going to take more than one pair of shorts, so take something bright fun. With a range of elegant fitting swim shorts, their range includes longer lengths and lighter fabrics.
