Men's Swim Shorts in Black, Navy & More
Swim shorts should be the last thing you worry about on a day at the beach or pool, but for bigger and taller guys, standard sizing often gets in the way of genuine comfort. At Johnny Bigg, our plus size men's swim shorts are designed specifically for bigger frames, with every measurement considered so you can enjoy the water without constantly adjusting your shorts.
We know the common frustrations bigger guys face with standard swim shorts, a waistband that won't stay secure once wet, a thigh fit so restrictive it limits movement in the water, or a mesh liner that feels too tight for comfort. That's why our swim shorts feature a broader thigh and waist allowance, a fully adjustable drawcord waistband, and a soft, roomier liner, so you get swim shorts that feel just as good in the water as they do out of it.
Pair your swim shorts with a relaxed shirt with a pair of slides and a hat. Pretty simple!
FAQ's
A well-fitted pair of swim shorts should feel secure and comfortable both in and out of the water, without ever feeling restrictive or at risk of slipping. The waistband is one of the most important elements to get right, since it needs to stay in place even when wet, so look for a drawcord waistband that can be adjusted and tightened to sit securely at your natural waist. Through the thighs, there should be enough room to move freely, whether you're swimming, walking along the sand, or simply sitting down, without the fabric pulling or riding up uncomfortably.
Swim shorts have become a genuine summer staple well beyond just the water, making it easy to transition from a swim to a casual hangout without missing a beat. At the beach or pool, pair your swim shorts with a plain tee or leave shirtless with a pair of sandals or slides, keeping things simple and practical for a day spent mostly in and out of the water. For a slightly more put-together poolside look, an open short sleeve shirt worn over your swim shorts adds a bit of coverage and style without feeling overdressed.
While the terms are often used interchangeably, there are some genuine differences between swim shorts and board shorts worth understanding. Swim shorts are typically shorter in length, made from a softer, more lightweight polyester fabric, and feature an elasticated waistband with a drawcord for a snug, secure fit, making them ideal for casual swimming and lounging by the pool or beach. Board shorts, on the other hand, are generally longer, made from a slightly heavier and more durable fabric, and often feature a flat waistband with a button or velcro closure rather than full elastic, originally designed to withstand the rigours of surfing and more active water sports.
