The Find: Above-the-knee swim trunks for a fashionable gentleman
Ask most suave European gentlemen and they’ll tell you that a swim short should never fall below the knee. We think pretty similarly here at The Goods, and when we saw this pair of navy Orlebar Brown “Setter” shorts, we loved the short leg length and how the brand has made it a goal to re-familiarize the world with a classic 1950s style (everyone loves Gidget, right?). Unlike most boxy swimsuits, this pair is tailored to fit, but it maintains some of the traditional features men dig, like net lining and quick-drying material. Although these shorts won’t inspire us to dance with large groups of friends along to surf tunes, we still can’t wait to show off our gams. $235.

And only 235$, what a deal!
$235???? Between this and the $4 million cottage, I’m slowly becoming too poor to belong to Toronto Life’s demographic.
I completely agree. Also from Holts: a lighter blue pair of above-the-knee swim trunks for men. $65. Still pricey for a pair of swimmers, but more in my ball park.
I agree that swim trunks and shorts on men should be above the knee. Those baggy capris look ridiculous, especially when they are jeans.
H&M has nice ones for $30. They look exactly the same and come in a few colours. Obviously their quality is not as high, but who cares, they are $200 cheaper.
