Buying swimwear for short guys

Buying mens swimwear for short guys doesn't have to be a huge challenge, it's all about knowing what you are looking for and how to dress the best for your height.

Swimwear for short guys tips

Believe it or not, short guys have it much easier when shopping for swimwear as compared to taller men. According to fashion experts, the shorter you are, the shorter your swimwear can be, and these days, it is pretty much easier to find a shorter pair of swim trunks for guys than to look for a longer one. When shopping for swim trunks, here are a few things you must consider:
  1. Waist area

Ensure that the swim trunks are tight enough to stay up without you having to adjust the drawstring. If they are too loose, they might easily slip down and cause you embarrassment. If they are too tight, they might make breathing more difficult for you.
  1. Thigh area

Choose mens swimwear that is "just right" in the thigh area. It shouldn't be skin-tight and at the same time, it mustn't have too much excess fabric. If the swimwear is too baggy, it may look unflattering on your body, especially if you're short and stocky as it could put emphasis on the love handles and other parts of your body you're trying to hide.
  1. Length

When it comes to men's trunks, length is perhaps the most important factor to consider. Always remember that your trunks shouldn't go anywhere near your knees. Instead, make sure that the ends of your trunks rest between 5 to 10 centimetres above the top of your knee caps.
  1. Leg opening

The leg opening of your trunks should be wide enough for you to comfortably slide your trunks up and down your legs. However, it also should be narrow enough so the trunks won't look baggy. Always consider the shape of your body. You'd want a pair of trunks that would go well with the natural shape of your body instead of altering it.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind

Now that you know what to consider when buying swimwear for short guys, here are a few key pointers you must remember to ensure that you'll get swimwear that will look good with your body type. For instance, avoid low-rise trunks. Unless you have extremely long legs and a short torso, this type of swimwear won't go well with your body. For a more manly and classy look, choose swim trunks whose top-most part rests a few inches below your belly button. As for the design, stay away from those with large and loud patterns, as well as those with horizontal stripes as they could make your thighs look thicker and shorter. Instead, choose those with solid colours and small prints and patterns.
