I've never been a fan of the board short--- EVER. I just can't get with a thin, sans-lining suit dragging below the knee as you get out from a swim (much less the cargo pockets typically found on the side and always filled with water- not the best look). Call me old fashioned, but I much prefer a shorter, slim cut a la the iconic Cary Grant in To Catch a Thief (below).
After an amazing first weekend at the beach for Memorial Day, here are some of my favorite short swim options (in prints naturally) to dream of until the next beach day.
