My boyfriend used to just bear his swimsuit as shorts, these bring that style to the next level. He looks stylish at a bbq and can hope in the pool if they have one and unlike most bathing suits he doesnt have to keep retiring the waistband. I ordered dry wick boxers for him to wear with these which he appreciated. We went on a 7 day cruise and somehow these were the only shorts he packed and the dry so fast it never was a problem.
