6 best affordable men's swim trunks under $50
Speedo and Patagonia are just a few of the brands on this list that make affordable men's swim trunks.
Sonoma Goods For Life Flexwear Swim Trunks
These polyester shorts are also water-repellent and boast sport netting, which offers an extra layer of coverage and support, celebrity stylist Andrew Gelwicks previously explained in our men's swim trunks guide. Mesh is optional and you can feel free to cut it away if you prefer more "freedom" — "the trunks will lay better and dry faster. It is one step closer to swimming commando," celebrity stylist Michael Fisher previously told us. Sonoma Goods' top rated swim trunks are available in 12 patterns and five sizes.
Speedo Men's Colorblock Volley Swim Trunks
Speedo doesn't just make swim goggles and swim briefs — it also creates top rated swim trunks like the Colorblock Volley. Beyond the mesh netting and dual side pockets with flap closures to help stash your smartphone, the Volley sports UPF 50+ coverage and is available in four colors: Peacoat, Faded Rose, Speedo Black and Blue Lemonade. Sizing is a little more limited than other styles on this list, but you can order it in Small to Extra Large.
Rokka & Rolla Men's 8-Inch Swim Trunks
If the father figure in your life appreciates a good print, then you can choose from eight attention-grabbing options like Vintage Floral and Geometry Palm to Blue Leaves and Stripes Printed. Like the previously mentioned Speedo Volley shorts, Rokka & Rolla's swim trunks are also made from a UPF50+ fabric. UPF 50+ is considered "excellent protection" from the sun's harsh rays, board-certified dermatologist Anna Guanche, MD, FAAD, previously told us in our guide to UPF clothing and swimwear.
Goodfellow & Co Men's 9-inch Swim Trunks
Goodfellow & Co’s style goes up to a size 5XL, making it the most size-inclusive option on our list. The brand claims these shorts are made from 100 percent recycled polyester and offers UPF50+ protection. Besides its top rating, these classic black shorts are also the No. 1 bestselling pair of swim trunks at Target.
L.L. Bean Men's Classic Supplex Sport Shorts
Although L.L. Bean is known for its outdoor gear and popular duck boots, the brand also makes men's swim trunks, like this highly rated classic Supplex Sport Shorts. L.L. Bean claims these shorts are made from 100 percent water-repellent nylon and boasts UPF 50+ protection. They also are available in seven colors and feature a combination of side seam and back welt pockets.
