Good board shorts for men
A few brands have worked out that it is possible to make a board short that looks just as good making sandcastles with the kids as it does on a surfboard. But finding them takes longer than it should. Thankfully, fashion designer Matt Ward has done the work.
Matt's picks:
A good cotton twill option - a pleasing alternative to nylon. By Universal Works.
This is a great collab. Grab'em while you can. Workshop x Stüssy at Our Legacy
An excellent example of the classic drawstring surf short. By Pilgrim Surf+Supply
Very similar to the Pilgrim shorts but closer to home shipping-wise. Stüssy at Dover Street Market
These ones are longer and skate-y. By Pop Trading Company
The most straightforward swim/boardshort here. By Gramicci
Not strictly a boardshort but they're nylon so... a very good quality short. By South2 West8 at The Bureau
