When you want to choose the size of the swim trunk, you have to take into account different factors, such as the cut of the swimsuit, the size of the waist, the length of the leg, the elasticity of the fabric and the method of tying.

Next, we will explain each of these factors in detail:

 

1. Swim trunk cut

There is a wide variety of models of swim trunks for men, among them we can find briefs, which are recommended for athletes because they have little fabric and are light; the boxer design, which normally favors thin and tall people, highlighting the shape of the body.

There is also the Bermuda model, which allows you to go unnoticed and is suitable for all types of people. And finally, the short model is a reduced adaptation of the shorts, they are the most comfortable and they can adapt to anybody.

All of these models vary in size and fabric, and their selection also depends on the activity you do, whether it's just resting or playing sports.

2. Waist width

However, when choosing any of these models you must verify the size of the waist and the length that you want. In order to determine the measurement that corresponds to the waist, you must first find the natural line of it, leaning slightly to one side. 

Then, standing straight, measure one inch below the natural line to determine the appropriate size of the swimsuit.

Normally the sizes of swimsuits are usually identified by the letters S, M, L, XL and XXL. If you do not know the size, it is a matter of trying the different sizes until you find the right one.

3. Swimsuit Length

There are two significant measurements that include swim trunk length, which is the inside crotch length and the outside seam length. Its values ​​depend on how long you want it and how much freedom you need in your movements.

They are quick-drying, comfortable and the most important thing is that they adapt to our body, as long as we choose the right size.
