Do guys wear anything under board shorts?

Generally speaking, what to wear (or not to wear, for that matter), is entirely up to you! Some board shorts come with an inner mesh lining, and if they do, you may skip wearing underwear. If your shorts don't have a liner, then it's up to you whether you want to rock some boxers or go commando. At the end of the day, it's about feeling comfortable when you're out in the sun.

What are board shorts used for?

Board shorts can be worn for various activities, such as swimming, surfing, and paddleboarding. They're also perfect for just lounging around at the beach or pool. With their versatile style and comfortable fit, you'll want to wear them all summer long!

What are the most comfortable board shorts?

That's a tough question, as comfort is subjective. However, our team has put together a collection of the most comfortable board shorts for men. From lightweight and breathable fabrics to a relaxed and comfortable fit, these shorts are perfect for a day in the sun. Check out our new arrivals to find the perfect pair of board shorts for you!

What is the difference between board shorts and swim trunks?

Board shorts are longer and have a looser fit than swim trunks. They hit just above the knee and usually have a drawstring waistband for a perfect fit. Swim trunks, on the other hand, are shorter and more snug-fitting. They typically end just below the knee or at the thigh.
