Older men may not consider swim trunk styling, but some great styles look good on most men over 40 without making them feel like they are trying to be young.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Understand What You Need<\/b><\/h3>\n

The key difference in an older man using a <\/span>swim trunk <\/span><\/a>versus a young man is in body coverage and function.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That means thinking about what your summer day is like. <\/span><\/p>\n

Activities like water skiing versus going to a restaurant next to the pool will define your choices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Get the Right Length<\/b><\/h3>\n

This is where men make the biggest mistake. <\/span><\/p>\n

They either get trunks that are too short or worse – Speedos. <\/span><\/p>\n

There are three types of lengths:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Short trunks<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Mid-Thigh Trunks<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Knee-Length Shorts<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Short trunks are typically worn by younger guys but aren’t forbidden for older men, depending on your body type and activity. <\/span><\/p>\n

    You must be in good shape to wear these trunks as they show off more thighs, legs, and stomach than others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Mid-thigh drawstring trunks are a foolproof fashion statement that works on every man. <\/span><\/p>\n

    The adjustable drawstring works for any stomach issues, so it never looks too tight. <\/span><\/p>\n

    It’s long enough to be respectable as well as functional.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Knee-length shorts can work wonderfully to make a middle-aged man look and feel younger. <\/span><\/p>\n

    It is one of those fashions that young guys use to surf but looks great on older men too. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Just be sure to avoid those that go past your knees or have a lot of excess fabric that will get heavy when it gets wet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Other Things to Consider<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Two definitive styles are on the market that is highly functional for men over 40.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Cargo-style swimsuits<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Hybrid Swim Shorts<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Men don’t have to opt for the same boring swim trunk to enjoy the summer. <\/span><\/p>\n

      Understanding what you are looking at and how it suits you will help you pick the perfect swim trunk. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
