If you’re looking for a new pair of swim trunks, I’d like to plug the ones I own and love: J.Crew’s “pool short.”
What makes them great, you ask? Simple: they have a button front with a zipper fly, so when you’re wearing them and step into a shop or restaurant, you’ll feel like much less of a goof. Plus, using the restroom doesn’t require you pull down your shorts like a 3-year-old.
I have a pair in turquoise and navy. This season they’re slightly longer (mine have a 6-inch inseam, these are 7-inch), and come in a few patterns, as well as solid navy, mustard yellow, and pink.
Use code REFRESH to get 40% off, bringing these down to $41.70.
