As Summer gets closer I've started keeping an eye out for some new swim shorts; shorts that won't fall apart, fade or colour run.
Whilst looking online I've come across numerous companies making amazing tailored shorts. When I say tailored, I'm referring to their style with zip flys, button fastenings and side adjusters - a step up from your typical rope waisted beachwear.
Most of you will look at these and your jaws will drop. Yes they are pricey, but this a wish list after all - something you can imagine relaxing in by a resort pool or whilst listening to the waves crash on a beach in Santorini. So here are my swimwear top picks:

1. Robinson Les Bains
5. Orlebar Brown
A French luxury brand of swimwear for men that not only has a sense of fashion but a sporty life too. Robinson les Bains is for the gentlemen who wants a refined short for the beach as well as in the city.
These caught my eye because I didn't think they were swim shorts, the styling has a very smart casual feel to them. Plus these are Musk Pink, my new wearable colour.
2. Dan Ward
Everyone needs something a little out there and fun, the colours and patterns in this collection hits the intricate wild side of fashion.
3 & 4.Chucs

3 & 4.Chucs
With a Caribbean elegance at heart, English brand Chucs was launched in 2011, bringing the luxury savvy and movie star pedigree to resort wear. Chucs has an aim to bring a touch of old world glamour, style and elegance to their collection.
I'm man with a love for traditional everything, so I really couldn't go past the uber classic selection of oldworld swim shorts brought forward in time with modern colour.

5. Orlebar Brown
Launched in March 2007, Orelbar Brown used a more tailored approach to men’s swim shorts. They wanted to create not just a ‘short you can swim in’, but more smart holiday wear – something that can be worn on the beach, by the pool and then smart enough to go and have a drink or lunch.
What can I say other than I own this very pair! The selection is big and the artwork on the edition shorts is fantasic. Being a fan or art, I was drawn to the line work in this Paris back drop. SOLD!
