17 Best Swim Trunks You Can Score on Amazon, All with Two-Day Shipping

If there's a season to rock gingham, it's summer. And these swim shorts are less than ten bucks—what's not to love? Comfortable and crafted with an easy fit through the waist and hips, they're made of a lightweight and breathable swim fabric with quick-drying properties.

One reviewer says:

"For the price, you're not going to get anything better."

With a built-in compression lining that protects your skin from scratches and sticking as well as a zippered pocket to keep all your belongings dry, you can splish-splash to your heart's content in these shorts.

One reviewer says:

"I would get these shorts for the compression liner alone—they're a very quality set of trunks. I love the zippered pockets, and the elastic is nice and sturdy."

Founded right in the heart of New York City's Garment District, Kanu Surf was first sold door-to-door to local surfers, mom-and-pop surf shops, and a few gift stores at nearby beaches. Now you can find the brand in department stores, national retailers, and basically anywhere swimwear is sold—including Amazon. This longer pair of trunks is classic and reliable, with contrast stitching and big cargo pockets for all your poolside essentials.

One reviewer says:

"Swimwear often demands a delicate balance between style and comfort, and the Kanu Surf Men's Barracuda Swim Trunks seem to have found that sweet spot."

Amazon Essentials offers solid, minimalist swim trunks that can be at your doorstep in as little as one day. We recommend buying in advance, though, on the off chance there's a delay. This regular-fit option features a soft mesh liner, elasticized waist, and drawstring closure. And if you're not a fan of the classic black look, don't fret—it's also available in 12 other colorways.

One reviewer says:

"Great product! Good fit. Nice material. Well worth the money!"

From your favorite surf brand comes a pair of board shorts that you can rock in or out of the water—they're truly the best of both worlds. They're built with mechanical stretch, 100 percent polyester fabric, and Velcro back pockets. The sand and sea have nothing on these.

One reviewer says:

"I'm a big fan of these shorts. They're made from a lightweight fabric that has a bit of stretch, which I like. What I particularly appreciate is the fabric panel behind the Velcro fly. It's a thoughtful touch that ensures no unexpected mishaps if the Velcro loses its grip over time."

When you're constantly in and out of the water, you need a pair of trunks that are along for the ride, no matter what. Quiksilver's fast-drying, long-line shorts are up to the task. They feature a flap collar and lace-up fly, so you never have to worry about showing your bare bottom to the rest of the beach.

One reviewer says:

"These fit perfectly around the waist, and I'm really happy with the length. And while they don't come with a built-in liner, a little free balling never hurt anyone."

With a stretchy elastic waistband, Under Armour's swim trunks are sure to be loved as much as the brand's workout gear. They use the same high-quality materials to guarantee maximum comfort and longevity, so you can really never go wrong. Plus, they're made with UPF 50+ protection, which will help shield you from the sun's harsh rays.

One reviewer says:

"These are some of the best trunks I've tried. They're extremely comfortable and well-made. The only complaint I could have is that the drawstring has a bead of silicone along it to keep it from untying. I don't know how long that would actually last."

You might not be a Speedo briefs guy, and that's okay, but there's no good reason not to be a Speedo trunks guy. Constructed from two-way comfort stretch fabric with a water-repellent finish, this style will move with you while keeping you safe from the sun thanks to its built-in Block the Burn UPF 50+. And hey, if you happen to change your mind, Amazon also sells the short-shorts version.

One reviewer says:

"These are good, simple water shorts. They fit well and are comfortable, with a thick waistband that stays in place in strong surf."

From the brand you trust for even the most intense workouts comes a pair of shorts you can trust, too, whether you're diving in headfirst or sticking to beach volleyball. The best part of these trunks is the built-in brief, which helps prevent chafing and provides extra support where you need it most.

One reviewer says:

"These shorts are very comfortable, lightweight, well-made, and look great."

Oakley, the brand known for creating innovative and high-performing optical products, also makes some pretty damn good board shorts. Lightweight, breathable, and water-repellent—this is about as close to being an actual merman as you can get.

One reviewer says:

"The fit is perfect, and the fabric is nice, and it dries fast. I do a lot of swimming and think Oakley really hit the nail on the head with this product."

Tommy Hilfiger somehow manages to make even swim trunks look preppy and chic. These shorts can be worn in the pool, at the beach, and beyond (so, the cabana bar?) and feel just as good out of the water as they do in. With a tailored fit and minimalist look, these are where function meets fashion.

One reviewer says:

"These shorts look great and are true to size. I'm 6'3", 220 lbs, 34-36 waist with thick legs, and size L fits me just fine. (XL would have been too baggy since these shorts are not slim fit.) My only complaint is that the material is not as soft as I expected."

These shorts are the type that you don't have to overthink; you can just throw them in your bag and go. They have a drawstring closure, back pockets, and pockets at the hip—in other words, basically everything you need from a swimsuit.

One reviewer says:

"These shorts are of good quality and are of great price. They fit exactly as they should."

Take a dip, then sit on the shore in comfort—these dry so quickly that you'll barely even notice they got wet. These trunks are made with Columbia's Omni-Shield advanced repellency, which seals out splashes and stains. Plus, they have UPF 50+ sun protection, an adjustable drawcord waist, and an interior mesh brief.

One reviewer says:

"The length of these shorts is perfect; they're not too long and offer just the right amount of coverage for my thighs. The only drawback is that they run small. I tried a medium and probably should’ve gotten a large. All of my other board shorts are medium, but these are a little more snug than I’d like."

You can't really think about swim trunks without thinking about RVCA—a Costa Mesa, California–based clothing company developed by the brain trust of Billabong. These long-lined swim trunks are all about simplicity and comfort, thanks to their polyester-blend fabric and 17-inch outseam.

One reviewer says:

"The suit is great. Nice material blend and great quality."

And speaking of Billabong, these lightweight shorts will show you why the brand is such a staple in the swimwear world. Featuring an engineered fit and paneling to reduce seams, these trunks are sturdy, chic, and stretchy, too. They're also designed to improve your performance, whether that means catching some bitchin' waves or doing the doggy paddle in a blow-up pool—either way, we don't judge.

One reviewer says:

"These trunks are incredibly comfortable, and they do not grab onto your thighs when you squat down. Great buy."

Leave it to Calvin Klein to infuse its swim trunks with some serious style. If a sleek gradient is your vibe, these are infallible. If it isn't, we still suggest grabbing a pair (they come in 11 other colorways, after all) because they're lightweight enough for just about any summer activity and have a quick-drying fabric.

One reviewer says:

"These swim shorts fit well and are the perfect length. They're very comfortable, too, even with the netting inside."

Take that triple-stripe logo you love on your track pants and put it on your swim trunks. The way I see it, there's no reason not to be in Adidas at any point this summer. And if we didn't make this clear before (and honestly, that's on us), these durable, water-repellent, PFC-free shorts can be delivered to you in two days or less.

One reviewer says:

"I love these trunks. They fit/feel like the old-school trunks from my childhood. They are shorter, so they show a little leg, but they aren’t too baggy."
