While swimwear for teen girls is readily available online and off the rack, swim trunks and board shorts for teenaged boys can be a little more difficult to find. Knowing your brands and where to purchase swim trunks online can be a real help for stressed parents and teens during the warmer months.
Quiksilver Board Shorts – Designer Swim Trunks for Young Men
Quiksilver is perhaps one of the most fashion forward designer labels available for young men, a popular choice both in the casual clothing realm as well as in terms of swimwear.
Islander is a great style that blends a muted, modern paisley design with a dark monochromatic palette – a great masculine choice. This style of Quiksilver board shorts is also part of their Waterman collection. The lookbook for the Waterman collection states that it is an attempt to pay homage to Quiksilver's deep boardriding roots, testified to by dozens of styles that all emphasize this aesthetic. Woodblock and Crossroad styles are also excellent casual board short choices for teens.
The main thing to keep in mind when considering recent summer fashion seasons as well as those immediately upcoming is a focus on purchasing fewer garments of higher quality. Investing in a nice looking pair of Quiksilver, Billabong swim trunks or other name brand summer shorts will serve you much better than buying multiple pairs of swimming trunks of inferior quality.
Billabong Swim Trunks, O'Neill and Hurley Boardshorts Topped Off with Sanuk Sidewalk Surfers
Billabong, Hurley, and O'Neill are three other hot labels for the upcoming summer of 2011. Their youthful and energetic designs reflect a more optimistic and fun-loving style that is popular amongst teens.
Billabong styles such as the colorful Out of this World and Hyperion and Hurley boardshorts include a brightly patterned style such as King's Road and Jersey Mural. The O'Neill Hyperfreak style is really taking off in terms of sales as well as setting the general trend toward a more angular look.
Teens that are fans of other designers may want to check out Polo swimming trunks or Patagonia swim trunks. All are popular brands with teenagers, but for the most part, when choosing swimwear for teen boys, it will be a matter of his individual style, preference and comfort.
Round these shorts out with some extremely cool Sanuk Sidewalk Surfers (essentially rugged outdoor surf shoes or slip ons) for a look that's perfect for the sun and sand or the late night boardwalk.
