Men's swimwear: briefs, thongs and trunks
Close-fitting swimwear provides plenty of freedom of movement and absorbs little water. This collection focuses on swim briefs, swim thongs and short swim trunks for the pool, beach and holidays.
Which swimwear style suits you?
A swim brief covers the buttocks and leaves the thighs free. A swim trunk provides a little more coverage and has a short leg length. A swim thong leaves most of the buttocks visible and is designed for men looking for a more distinctive style.
Pouch, lining and material
Swimwear is usually made from quick-drying stretch materials such as polyamide or polyester with elastane. The pouch may be lined for extra coverage and support, but this varies by style. Always check the product details.
SUKREW, Barcode Berlin and TOF Paris
SUKREW combines roomy pouch shapes with bold colours and prints. Barcode Berlin brings sporty and club-inspired influences to swim briefs and trunks. TOF Paris takes an elegant, daring approach and also offers swim thongs. Fit and sizing vary by brand.
Keeping swimwear looking good
Rinse swimwear with clean water after use and follow the care label. Chlorine, salt, sunscreen and high temperatures can affect colour and elasticity over time. Preferably allow the item to air dry.
Frequently asked questions about men's swimwear
What is the difference between a swim brief and a regular brief?
Swim briefs are made from materials designed for water and dry more quickly. Do not use regular underwear as a substitute if the material is not intended for swimming.
Does every swim brief have a lined pouch?
No. Lining varies by brand and style. The product description explains how the specific item is constructed.
How do I choose the right swimwear size?
Use the brand's size chart and pay attention to your waist measurement. Swimwear should stay securely in place without feeling uncomfortably tight.
