Size swim trunks, what to consider?

Good day fine reader, nice to welcome you here to a new college of Dutch Designers Outlet her Lingerie and Swimwear expert. In this blog, I will help you on your way to determine the most optimal swimwear size. This is an important consideration when you are planning to buy a new pair of swim trunks! I often see that men pay attention to the look of the swim trunks and that the comfort doesn't matter. This while it is just as important.

Why is determining the correct swimsuit size so important?

There are several reasons why it is important to determine the correct swimwear size. Choosing the right size ensures you will have the best possible look while wearing your bathing suit. You won't have to worry about your swimwear falling off. Finally, with the right size, you can count on optimal comfort.

It seems obvious, but it is often the case that men don't give much thought to finding the right size. Still, it's okay to pay some attention to that. After all, when you take a dip in the water, you don't want your swim trunks suddenly sitting at your ankles. And when walking on the beach, you don't want to have to keep pulling up your swim trunks either. The opposite is also nothing, when the swim boxer is too tight it pinches things off. That seems anything but comfortable to me as well.

Men's swimwear size chart

Determining the best swimming trunks size is not a wet finger job, but it also doesn't have to be at all difficult as it seems. For starters, take a look at a size chart like the one below. As you can see, it's useful to know how big your waist is. You can easily measure that by using a tape measure to measure the circumference of your body. Do this at the widest point of your hips. The length is not so important, make a choice based on personal preference: do you want long or short swimming shorts?

Are you choosing your swim trunks based on the size chart posted above? Then you can count on choosing a really well-fitting pair of swim trunks. This way, you will also avoid unpleasant surprises.

Determining most optimal swim trunks size for boys

Do you want to buy swimming trunks for boys and not for men? Then the boys' swimwear size chart is obviously more helpful. I have prepared it for you below.

As long as you keep the above information, you can immediately find out what the best size swimming trunks are for your son. In our assortment you can also find swim trunks from Shiwi and Nickey Nobel, allowing you to create a fun father-son set. How fun is that!

Can you try on swim trunks before buying them?

An often heard point of discussion is whether or not you, as a man, can try on swim trunks. In practice, it is often assumed (even in stores) that you, as a man, know what size is right for you. Therefore, trying on swim trunks often does not happen. Many men don't always seem to think about it either, as if they don't know any better. Still, trying on tight swim trunks is wise; you want them to fit properly, right? Moreover, ladies are allowed to try on their swimwear and underwear as well, so why not you as a man?

Fitting is then not done on bare skin. Obviously for hygienic reasons. A swimsuit fits over your own briefs. Of course, with tight swim trunks it is more difficult than with loose swim shorts. If you buy swim trunks online (preferably with us, of course), you cannot try them on beforehand. Fortunately, you can consult the size charts and if the swim trunks do not seem to fit properly, you can simply return them.

Size L is not always an L.

Size charts give a good indication of which size swimsuit will fit you well. However, in practice, there may be certain differences. When determining the optimal swimsuit size, you should take into account the brand. For instance, Bomain swim trunks have a slightly different fit than Muchachomalo swim trunks. It's small deviations in such things as material selection, fabric stretch and sizing that make the difference.
