PSA: How to Wear Swim Shorts This Summer (Inspired by Zac Efron)
Summer is almost here! Now, this is just my opinion, but unless you want to look like a sloppy bro, do NOT wear underwear underneath your trunks/board shorts and especially do not wear them underneath basketball shorts.
Neither cotton underwear nor polyester athletic shorts were made to be worn in chlorine or salt water; they will fade and become ruined. Aside from the fact that no one wants to see your Hanes or Fruit Of The Loom waistband, if you are actually wearing expensive Calvin Klein or Armani boxer briefs, you are throwing money out the window.
If you are wearing basketball shorts with an elastic waistband, they are going to droop and sag when they become wet, and you will be constantly trying to keep them up. Not a good look. Save them for the gym.
Let us also address length. Anything at or above the knee is golden; swimwear lower than that and you are in dangerous waters (pun intended) especially combined with the visible undergarments.
Don’t get me wrong. A little waistband showing under some jeans is HOT.
And basketball shorts have appropriate uses as well.
But when it comes to swimwear, let’s take it from Zac: There’s nothing as sleek and stylish by the beach and by the pool than fitted swim trunks, made for the water, usually with built-in lining.
No underwear waistband showing, no sagging, and not 4 inches below the knee. Look how happy he is!
