Stylish big and tall board shorts for the Summer
With the coming of
summer and hot climes, many people are instinctively drawn to one particular
hobby. A tradition even. It’s time to go hit the beach and feel the cool
breeze!
The feeling of
having a warm sun bearing down on your skin is counteracted with the icey cool
water on the shore line. The adventurous amongst us want to go out for a swim
and feel the coolness and the waves.
It is therefore very
important to dress up appropriate, dare we say, comfortably for the
quintessentially American summer activity. This is where big and tall board
shorts come in.
What’s in a Board
Short?
Only avid beach goers
know that the swim trunk or the Speedo you choose has a direct connection to
how much your swoosh in the water may go. Be it tight swim trunks or a slinky
Speedo, choosing the right board short is of paramount importance.
And besides, big and
tall board shorts are like way more comfortable and functional than the
aforementioned shorts. This is due to the fact that they are lightweight and
stylish to the max. It also helps that they are suitable for a variety of
activities be it the water surfing or just your average dip in the pool.
Big and tall board
shorts are, quite essentially, the right choice for the beach. They are loose
fitting and posses a Velcro and lace up tie too. They have longer legs than the
average swimming trunk. And they dry up very quickly, so that means they are
not going to bog the surfers or your average picnicker with their soaking-heavy
weight.
Oh and even though
they lightweight, you won’t have to worry about them being pulled away by a
gust of a heavy wave.
Despite all the focus on they being the exclusive domain of
water surfers, the truth is that their appeal is more universal than ever
before.
Types of Board Shorts
Board shorts come in a few categories so when buying one, it
pays to know which one suits you perfectly.
Standard Board short
These are what normal surfers usually wear, and they come in
a long inseam. They are rather loose but that still doesn’t make them loose
around the waist. Which is why they are preferred by people who want to perform
surf board tricks as well.
Retro Board Short
For those who prefer a tighter fitting short with a slightly
smaller inseam than the standard, then retro board shorts are for you. Perfect
for those who don’t want to surf but are more inclined towards free diving or
scuba diving as well.
Modern
Want a bit of the retro and the standard board short mixed
in? That’s modern board shorts for you. They are not that skin tight and are
rather slim. Recommended for those who prefer the slender fit.
