The Find: an unusually stylish pair of swim trunks

When summer arrives, men have to face a grim choice: bare an excessive amount of man-thigh in miniature trunks, or shroud the area completely in baggy, 90s-style board shorts. We’re pleased to discover that Toronto-based upstart Bather Trunk Co. has come up with a happy alternative: attractive, mid-length trunks that are right on-trend, but don’t expose too much skin. The playful shorts are double-lined and made from quick-dry nylon, but they don’t have that annoying mesh interior, meaning more comfort when moving from beach to restaurant. Plus, they come in lots of summery colours and patterns. We’re partial to this cheerful floral print, which will look perfectly appropriate with or without a shirt. $85.
