As we get ready to head into Memorial Day weekend, time to upgrade your beach wear with some fun new boardshorts by Volcom. The 2016 Collection includes a variety of different lengths, styles and colors all designed to gain you some positive attention at the pool or beach.

The company recommends its 22-inch boardshorts for when you want to cover your thighs, but if you’re wanting to show a little more leg, then the 18-inch boardshorts may be the ticket. They also have shortie 16 to 17-inch boardshorts that really show off your toned legs—a reward for all those hours spent at the gym.

The new Mod-Tech collection features 20 to 21-inch boardshorts crafted out of Repreve® recycled fibers. Retail: $36.85 to $90.

We especially love the Slingers boardshorts that have 4-way stretch and offer great flexibility for surfing and other outdoor activities. They are available with 18 to 19-inch outseams. Retail: $36.85 to $60.

They also have new Jammers boardshorts in the 17 to 18-inch range with a flat front waistband and half elastic back for a comfortable fit. Retail: $36.85 to $55.

Pilgrim Surf Supply and Birdwell Beach Britches Just Made the Best New Boardshorts for Summer

birdwell beach britches pilgrim surf supply collaboration x pss 039

Two lauded swim and surf brands have teamed up to reinvent a classic for the summer season and, without a doubt, the new Pilgrim Surf Supply x Birdwell Beach Britches collaboration makes perfect sense as you gear up to the head to the beach. In fact, one might go so far as to say this updated take on a legendary Birdwell Beach Britches silhouette qualifies as some of the best men’s swim trunks for summer.

For the uninitiated, Birdwell has been making their much-lauded boardshorts by hand for decades, using quality materials — specifically, surf-ready SurfNyl fabric (proprietary to the brand) which offers the kind of fit & mobility that lifeguards and surfers have appreciated since the early '60s. On the other side, Pilgrim Surf Supply takes a decidedly East Coast take on surf and swimwear, with roots in Brooklyn that might surprise some — even if the region around New York City has nurtured the likes of other surf-oriented brands like Manhattan’s own Saturdays NYC.

The brand that makes some of our favorite boots is at it again and they’re back in a big way with one of the best pairs of men’s boots for spring. Danner continues to come through if you want boots that scream reliability, dependability and toughness, and the new Danner Bull Run Lux drives home that point to a T.

Danner’s heritage of making stellar, stylish, dependable boots harks back to the 1930s, and the made-in-America Bull Run Lux doesn’t disappoint when it comes to the Portland brand’s legacy. Based off the original Bull Run work boot and featuring all the chops of a tough work boot and a more fashion-forward piece of footwear, the highlight of these has to be the tough nubuck leather.
