Two-Inch Rule for Mens Swim Trunks

Thursday, 03 June 2010 | by Pat's Picks

Attention, men: In case you were wondering what the proper inseam for swimming trunks is, it’s two inches says the New York Times. There’s a funny interview in today’s paper with the owner of a swimwear store who says despite the proliferation of long board shorts (described as “polyester capri pants”) in recent years,  shorter styles are more flattering on a man’s body. He says most overweight men still have nice legs, a fact that gets hidden with longer styles.
