It's summertime, so inevitably you're going to have (or want) to pick up some new swimming trunks. You could go with a basic color, which is fine, but you could also go with something really cute that makes your beach bod — which is just your body on the beach, because all bodies are beautiful — shine even brighter than it would on its own.
It's all about the patterns, length, and fit, and there are, as always, different strokes for different folks. You may not like all of these, but maybe even one will catch your eye. And these trunks are all reasonably priced — because lord knows no one wants to spend much more than $50 on a pair of swimming trunks (unless they're going to give me a massage or help me file my taxes)!
