Staff Picks: Kaylan's Top Five Swim Shorts
Hi, I'm Kaylan, a sophomore at the University at Albany, currently interning with Ivy Swimwear. Today, I'm ranking my top five swimwear picks for men!
1. My favorite piece of men’s swimwear from Ivy Swimwear has to be the Iriso in Green Zebra Shorts What I love most about these shorts is their subtle design. The green zebra stripes along the sides add just the right amount of flair without being too loud, and the green drawstrings offer a subtle yet eye-catching detail. Comfort is a priority too—thanks to the mesh lining and elastic waistband, these shorts feel as good as they look. In my opinion, these shorts aren't just for the beach or pool—they also work well for casual streetwear, making them a great option for almost any occasion.
2. My second favorite pick is the Bennie In Blue Pottery print When it comes to an elegant design these trunks are second to none! These trunks will certainly stand out at any beach or pool you go to. The choice of blue against the clean white backdrop enhances the fresh aesthetic, giving the shorts a sophisticated yet approachable feel. What differentiates these shorts from the rest is their pattern which adds a touch of artistry that reminds me of vintage porcelain patterns.

3. At number 3 is the Dylan in Satin Black Shorts. The standout feature of these shorts is undoubtedly the luxurious satin material, which elevates both the look and feel. The satin finish gives the shorts a subtle sheen that adds a layer of sophistication, making them perfect for those who value comfort in their swimwear. The fabric is smooth against the skin, offering a lightweight, breathable feel that is ideal for warm weather. In terms of design, these shorts embrace simplicity with an all-black base, punctuated by white IVY lettering that creates a modern, minimalist look. The white text, arranged in sleek vertical lines, adds just the right amount of detail without overwhelming the overall aesthetic. This design allows the satin material to shine as the focal point, making the shorts versatile enough for any setting.
4. The Alessandro in Azzuro Shorts make their appearance on this list at number 4. The pattern features a modern, geometric print in soft, subtle colors, making them perfect for a stylish beach day. The white base with intricate blue and green detailing gives off a fresh, Mediterranean vibe, which is great for summer wear. Additionally, the shorts feature zippered back pockets, adding both functionality and security. This detail is perfect for keeping your belongings safe while you're on the go, whether you're by the pool or taking a stroll on the beach.
5. Last but not least are the Jesse in Lemon Stripe Shorts. They are a timeless staple and a bestseller of Ivy Swimwear. These shorts have been a go-to piece for years, and it’s easy to see why. With a crisp white background, bold blue stripes, and playful lemon prints scattered throughout, they exude a fun, fresh vibe that's perfect for sunny beach days or lounging poolside. The combination of the bright lemons against the blue and white stripes creates a cheerful design. Whether you're taking a dip or strolling through the resort, the Lemon Stripe Shorts effortlessly blend style and practicality and will always remain a classic.
