Shorter Is Better
When you’re wearing a swimsuit, you’re damn near naked. In public. So the last thing you want is a pair of knee-length board shorts that make you look like a pudgy tween. This summer, go shorter. A suit that fits will make you look trim, confident, and manly—and even let your thighs get some sun.
Out Of Style!
As I observed, many straight guys? or feeling straight thinks that wearing knee high surfing board shorts make them look manly, but as GQ explains, it looks funny! Time is changing, we need to update our look!

Got Confidence? Go for a Suit that Grabs Attention
There are right and wrong ways to get noticed. Wrong way: shin-length board shorts with cargo pockets and a tattoo print of a fire-breathing dragon. Right way: classic, surf-inspired graphics in a variety of bright—but not obnoxious—colors. Just remember, you’ll be calling attention to yourself, so at least have something resembling a six-pack.

Get Active in a Simple Athletic Suit
A little nervous about going shorter? Make the transition smooth with racing stripes. They come across as athletic, not flashy or fashiony, and—in the case of vertical stripes—the visual effect makes even a truncated suit look longer. With racing stripes, stick to the same primary colors that Formula One drivers use: black, white, red, and yellow.
