An amazing part of traveling is discovering a new place, but there’s something special about returning to a beloved destination—which also speaks volumes about what makes a place stand out as one of the best.
16 Best Men's Swim Trunks to Pack This Summer

Without going on too much of a polemic about it, it must be said that on the beach in the summer of 2024 there is no excuse for you as a man to wear a swimsuit that sits anywhere close to your knee. The five-and-a-half inch inseam is the longest acceptable inseam, and this is not just because giving the world a glimpse of your thigh is cheeky fun—although that’s part of it. The shorter the swimsuit, the taller you look. Board shorts, in addition to being ugly, are unflattering and swallow your silhouette right up with their greedy bulk. In the absence of a baggy shirt to even out the look's proportions, the problem compounds (Remember that, unless you favor rash guards, you will at times find yourself shirtless in your swimsuit. That's the name of the game.)
And I’ve heard it all before so don’t even try it—if you’re surfing or otherwise engaging in watersports, wear a wetsuit. Swimsuits must be functional, yes, and should be waterproof and stretch easily so that you can swim and do the Baywatch run. But they aren’t sunscreen. Nor are they armor. Fashion occurs at the intersection of form and function; below, find the suits that do both. Show off those knees and thighs. Be not afraid!

I first delved into Todd Snyder—which should be every man's first stop when seeking warm-weather wear for their excellent linens—after watching Jaws. That film, set in Martha's Vineyard over July Fourth weekend but filmed on that island in a more frigid March, features an anxious Roy Scheider rather conspicuously bundled in a navy short-sleeve sweatshirt that took my breath away because I had to have it. In the months since, I've become devoted to the brand, and while none of their swimwear disappoints, the Riviera number in particular turns heads for its chic navy color and snappy clasp.
I've written about these shorts before—I brought them to Germany in mid-April having long mistaken them for athletic shorts. But it was a rainy trip as springtime in Europe often is and so they were quite perfect. In the months since I discovered the product's true identity (when I went back to buy another pair), I've worn them on the beach and in the ocean and to the sauna and steam room and back again. I just love them so much for their sleekness—they are so simple but look like they're from the future when you wear them. Their zip pockets do, however, bar you from riding water slides according to most manufacturers.
Oh baby, now these are some swim shorts if I've ever seen them! The Orlebar Brown Springer looks like a tailored short, and that's because it's cut from the same pattern as the brand's cotton wares.

If you've been invited to a beach wedding, you're in for a treat. A cool sea breeze, romantic sunset, and ceremony on the sand—it's the perfect excuse to take a tropical vacation.

Beach weddings present a number of obstacles when it comes to appropriate attire—you need shoes that can be worn on sand, and a dress that's lightweight enough to keep you cool and easy to pack without wrinkling or taking up too much real estate in your suitcase.

‘Ahead lay cypress-lined Tuscan roads waiting to be discovered’: readers’ best road trips
Driving through the Tuscan hills, the sun beginning its slow descent in the hazy, glowing heat on an August evening was one of the most exquisite experiences I have ever had. Travelling slowly along small, winding roads near Siena in our old Polo, we settled in to the rhythm the locals live by. The peaceful embrace of the Tuscan way of life was felt at every turn, with every smile we saw and every vineyard we gazed across. The cypress trees lining other, yet-to-be-discovered roads in the distance added to our awe at our surroundings.Lotta
