Difference between Board Shorts and Swim trunks:
Board shorts and swim trunks were designed keeping water in mind, but one major difference is around the waist. Choose one, based on your preference.
Board shorts are the latest trend in men’s swimwear collection. Since they are made of polyester or nylon, it can easily be dried and doesn’t get baggy from holding excess water. They usually have a lace-up fly in addition to a Velcro fly under that. They have at least one side pocket.
People wear this type of shorts because it has a sportier look. It can be worn during water sports event or at beach volleyball. If you notice, most of the designers have started creating board shorts instead of swim trunks.
Nowadays less people wear swim trunks. They are shorter than board shorts, looser and made from nylon, cotton or polyester. Depending on the type and cut of the short, they may be clingier than a board short, as well as more absorbent of water. Board shorts usually sport an elastic waistband and may or may not have a lace-up fly. Swim trunks are mostly worn by middle aged and older men because they find it comfortable. People may not wear board shorts because of its length.
Many people are confused as to should they wear swim trunks or board shorts. It is based on their preference. Sometimes you may like the pattern you find on a particular pair of board shorts. You may prefer the comfort of a classic pair of swim trunks.
