Men's Swimwear Trends Summer 2026: The Colours and Styles to Wear Now
Men's swimwear has never been more considered. Gone are the days of grabbing any pair of board shorts off the rack — Summer 2026 is about intentional colour, premium fabric, and a clean silhouette that works from the beach to the bar. At Essbia, our Intemporal Swim Trunks are built for exactly that: a timeless cut in the season's most relevant shades, crafted from recycled UPF 50+ fabric that protects your skin without compromising on style.
Here's what's trending this summer — and how to wear it.
1. Earthy Neutrals: The Quiet Luxury of the Beach
Muted, nature-inspired tones are dominating men's swimwear this season. Think warm sands, dusty greens, and rich espresso browns — colours that feel effortless and elevated at the same time.
- Men's Swim Trunks - Intemporal - Dune Sage - With Black Logo — a soft, sun-bleached sage that pairs with everything
-
Men's Swim Trunks - Intemporal - Sand Drift - With Black Logo — warm and versatile, the ultimate neutral -
Men's Swim Trunks - Intemporal - Coastal Espresso - With Black Logo — a rich, deep brown for a polished beach look
How to wear it: Keep the rest of your look minimal — a white linen shirt, leather sandals, and a straw hat. Let the colour do the talking.
2. Deep Ocean Blues & Greens: Bold Without Being Loud
Ocean-inspired hues are a perennial summer staple, but this year they're leaning deeper and more saturated — think midnight reefs and forest tides rather than bright aquas.
- Men's Swim Trunks - Intemporal - Midnight Reef - With Black Logo — a deep, moody navy with serious presence
-
Men's Swim Trunks - Intemporal - Forest Tide - With Black Logo — a rich forest green that nods to nature without going full camo
How to wear it: Pair with a sand or white tee for contrast. These darker tones photograph beautifully against bright beach backdrops.
3. Cool Greys & Slate Tones: The Modern Minimalist
Grey is having a major moment in men's fashion — and it translates perfectly to swimwear. These tones are clean, modern, and incredibly easy to style.
- Men's Swim Trunks - Intemporal - Stone Mist - With Black Logo — a cool, light grey with a premium feel
-
Men's Swim Trunks - Intemporal - Dark Gray - With Black Logo — a versatile charcoal that works day to night
How to wear it: Grey trunks are the perfect canvas — style with a bold coloured towel or beach bag to add a pop of personality.
4. Classic Darks: Raven Black & Deep Neutrals
Some things never go out of style. Black swim trunks remain the most versatile piece in any man's beach wardrobe — and this season's cut makes them feel fresh.
- Men's Swim Trunks - Intemporal - Raven Black - With Black Logo — sharp, clean, and endlessly wearable
How to wear it: Black trunks transition seamlessly from the pool to a rooftop bar. Throw on a linen shirt and you're done.
The Intemporal Difference
Every pair of Essbia Intemporal Swim Trunks is crafted from recycled UPF 50+ fabric — meaning you get built-in sun protection alongside a clean, tailored fit that holds its shape in and out of the water. The elastic waistband and side pockets make them as practical as they are stylish.
This isn't fast fashion beachwear. It's swimwear built to last — season after season.
