I purchased these swim trunks (green plaid and a red/blue plaid) for my teenage grandson.  He will wear them because these are the only trunks he has, but I don't think he likes the way they look that much. I think they are great because they have a pocket for a key and they look very nice.  We have a difference in opinion. He prefers the Hawaiian looking trunks, so maybe next year or the year after, I'll get him a pair of those cool trunks.  For now, he gets these and they are fine.
