Best new men’s swimsuits at every price

If you're hitting the beach or the pool this summer, you'll need a cool new pair of swim trunks. Esquire scoured the web to find the coolest men's swimsuits, all of which are blue. Because the quintessential color for men — especially in 2012 — happens to look fantastic near the ocean. And on you, too.

Around here, we prefer swim suits that can actually be worn on the boardwalk, the lunch trip, or the train back if necessary. Gingham definitely qualifies.

    At EVERY PRICE?

    For $295 they should massage the family jewels..lol

    These trunks seem restrictive, ridiculously expensive and uncomfortable.
    • now what 14 minutes ago
      These are overly expensive for ordinary people, but they do not look at all uncomfortable and they are very flattering to a majority of men's figures. I'm sure you can find similar styles at more affordable prices.

    Seriously, who in their right mind pays this much for swim trunks?
    Let me rephrase that, I would never pay this much for swim trunks because I am in my right mind. I swim all year round, and I get a few swim trunks from Old Navy in the summer season which serves me through the remainder of the year and into the next summer season, when I get a few more pairs.
    Last year I paid $10 a pair and got seven pairs which are still in use. I will be getting another seven pairs in August when they go on sale, and hopefully they will be around the same price. Seven pairs at $10 or $12 dollars a pair makes way more sense than buying one pair for $74.50 (which is the cheapest pair).
    Somethings I do not mind spending a premium to obtain, swim trunks is not one of these things.

    Yeah- I'm going to pay $75 and up for a pair of $2 swim trunks. What kind of dip sheet is that stupid? EuroTrash-Americans who are trying to be broke dick dogs like EuroTrash? And of course the losers from the Balkans. If it has any logo they are in.

      Hobson, you are the victim of stupidity!
  • Timothy  •  Miami, Florida  •  22 minutes ago
    im still wearing the swim shorts i bought from target 5 years ago for 10 bucks. and they even look just as good as these.
  • CA  •  Shreveport, Louisiana  •  14 minutes ago
    Restrictive is right. Just go naked! :)
  • Kuuipo  •  Honolulu, Hawaii  •  2 minutes 12 seconds ago

  • Rick  •  7 minutes ago

  • Barb  •  11 minutes ago
    the trunks ALL the guys wore when i was growing up(80's) were bird or byrd...something. they looked really good in those!
  • JS  •  19 minutes ago
    These trunks look like something out of 1982. If you wore these to the beach people would absolutely be looking, pointing, and laughing. When I see these trunks all I can think of is Tom Selek in the tv show Magnum P.I.
    • Richard 15 minutes ago
      WRONG men back then WEAR SPEEDOS............. and back then NUDE.....at YMCA. Today's guys are so sissified to be called GAYS because they dare to bare and next the will wear BURKINIS (burka style swimsuit)

  • Mike  •  53 seconds ago
    You all must be smoking crack. there's no way in hell that most guys are going to spend more than $20-$25 for trunks.
  • Fedosei Makarov  •  Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania  •  1 minute 55 seconds ago
    While the prices are ridiculous for a simple piece of fabric, the styles are nice. It seems we are going back to the late 50's/early 60's when Jazz was hot and surfer music was just finding a niche! Nice.
  • DEATH  •  8 minutes ago
    75-300 bucks for shorts lol..... I pass.
  • CA  •  Shreveport, Louisiana  •  26 minutes ago
    What. No Speedo? Bikini?
    • now what 17 minutes ago
      Thank goodness!!!! Speedos and bikinis are not for the majority of body types.
    • CA 15 minutes ago
      Just go naked then!

    • Michael 25 minutes ago

    • Bad Kitty. 18 minutes ago
      Michael: Money, I'll grant you. Style... not so much.
    • Super 11 minutes ago
      Michael I have the money and I have enough style not to care what others think about what I wear as I am an adult.
