Swim Trunks

Now that the LSAT is over, summer has really begun for us here at Up North and you can probably expect more regular posting from now on. I thought I'd start off with a summer orientated post, highlighting the swim trunks that I own. I prefer shorter cut to my swimsuits, I'm not really into the long baggy board shorts. The first, which I recently acquired, are a madras pair of J. Crew trunks. For some reason there still isn't a J. Crew in Canada but occasionally they will offer free shipping to Canada; import duties still do some damage though. The second pair are from Original Penguin which I picked up in LA on my way to Australia a couple years ago. They've lasted me well and the short inseams have attracted quite a few comments, both negative and positive. What I generally look for is an adjustable waistband and a pocket big enough to hold a hotel key.
Here are a few others that I like

  1. These are great options although I've never been a fan of the mesh lining. It just doesn't seem appropriate for anyone over like 12 yrs old. It feels like your kinda wearing a diaper or something.

  2. Ha I think I just might be used to them. The mesh on the J. Crew ones is less noticeable when you wear them.
