End the Summer with These Eye-Catching Swimsuits

Men's swimwear has flourished over the years as the clothing piece has moved beyond solely being used in the water. A pair of swim shorts or briefs are selected for not only functionality, but also how it relates to the shopper's style and how the piece can show off physical attributes while basking in the sun.�

Sharp and attention-grabbing designs have allowed swimwear-focused brands to thrive. For instance,�Parke & Ronen, the�New York-based swimwear lifestyle brand, celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.

With quick-drying fabrics and comfortable lining, you can also wear a stylish pair of swim trunks all day long. Brands such as�Fair Harbor even take it a step further�by adding advanced water draining tech to the side pockets of its swim shorts.

With weeks of summer still ahead, check out six new styles below:�
