Men’s Surf Shorts
Jack Griffith
Let’s face it people in the west and the Midwest and some parts of Miami, us guys cannot survive without our surf shorts, it what makes going to the beach some much more fun to enjoy. Truth be told some of guys like to wear Speedos and some of us like to wear your traditional swim wear, hey to me I say each his own.
Now some of us like to be sporty and fashionable when it comes to what we wear even if it is only men’s surf shorts. If you like to more traditional looking style you might want to go ahead try getting some plain black or white shorts considering they can go with pretty much anything you have on. Now if you wanted to look a little more stylish then you could try rocking some shorts that designs on them like palm trees or leaves or even the picture of the ocean.
Basically it all depends on what you want to represent, I personally know of people who have their own surf teams and that they specialized shorts that they wear when they are competing in tournaments in order to distinguish themselves from the crowd of people watching them.
Now what I have seen lately on a lot of people is custom made shorts, that’s when you buy plain shorts and you take them to a custom shop and have them put the design that you want on your clothing whether you draw it or the person doing the printing on the clothing is doing it. That alternative can be cool if you want to be original and don’t want to look like everyone else.
What I do like about certain men’s surf shorts is that you can buy accessories that can match up with the shorts themselves like pica shells or a necklace made of shark teeth (my favorite kind of necklace by the way), or a surf wallet that could be the same color as the shorts. I know of some shops that sell men’s surf shorts and they also sell the different shirts to go with them, some shops they might even sell the surf board along with it.
Really when it all comes down to it what you are comfortable wearing as far as swimwear depends on your sense of style and the statement that you want to make.
