Okay boys. It’s summer. Which means beach plans. Pool parties. And that one friend who suddenly says, “let’s get in the water” with zero warning! And somehow… every year… we see the same thing. Random oversized shorts. Questionable prints. Colours that don’t know what they’re doing. We’re not doing that this time.
At Westside swimwear is about looking just as put together in the water as you do out of it. Clean fits. Good lengths. Styles that actually make sense.
Because yes… People are noticing.
So What Are We Actually Wearing To The Pool?
Let’s start simple. Well-fitted swim shorts. Not too long. Not too short. Just right. Something that sits properly. Moves well. And doesn’t look like it belongs in a different decade. You want to look relaxed. Not lost.
Prints Vs Solids… What’s The Move?
Both work. But you need to choose wisely.
Solid colours – Clean. Sharp. Always safe
Subtle prints – Interesting. But still controlled
Loud prints – When you really know what you’re doing
If the shorts are doing too much… Everything else has to calm down.
What Are You Wearing With The Swim Shorts?
Think relaxed. But intentional.
An open shirt over your swim shorts — Slightly unbuttoned. Catching the breeze… Very “I just stepped out for a coffee by the coast.”
A clean tee — Fitted properly. Not hanging on for dear life.
A linen shirt — Sleeves rolled. Effortless but still very considered.
It’s giving Ranbir Kapoor on a holiday in Italy. Easy. Confident. Not trying too hard… but clearly getting it right.
The goal? You look like you belong there.
Footwear. Let’s Not Overthink This.
Slides. Clean ones. That’s it. No complicated choices. No experiments.
Easy. Practical. And it works every time.
Accessories (This Is Where You Stop Looking Basic)
This is the difference between “he’s on holiday” and “he’s doing holiday.”
A good pair of sunglasses — Not the ones you’ve had since college. The ones that actually suit your face. Instant upgrade.
A watch — Clean. Minimal. Pulls the whole look together without trying.
A cap if you want it — But make it part of the outfit. Not an afterthought you threw on mid-sunburn.
Think less “I grabbed this on the way out” and more “this was part of the plan.”
Very David Beckham on a beach day — Relaxed. But every detail quietly in place.
Because the small things? They’re doing more than you think.
Sunscreen (Yes, We’re Bringing This Up)
We’re not sending you on holiday just for you to come back three shades darker and slightly traumatised. Sunscreen is not optional. It’s part of the outfit. You’re out all day! Beach. Pool. Walking around like you belong there. The sun is doing its job. You need to do yours.
Something light, non-greasy, easy to reapply. Not that thick, sticky one you used once and gave up on.
Think of it like this… Good skin No awkward tan lines. No “why am I burning?” moments halfway through the day.
Very Chris Hemsworth on a beach holiday. Sun’s out. Skin still under control. Everything working as it should.
Apply it. Reapply it. And then carry on looking good.
At Westside swimwear for men is designed for summer days that move… From pool to plans without missing a beat.
