Summer may have been and gone, for 2016 at least, but you know that there's still time to pack your swimwear, head abroad and catch some last minute sunshine. It's also true that the best swimwear doesn’t really go out fashion, so there's nothing wrong with stocking up on the trunks and wetsuits before you hit the beaches in 2017. With that in mind, here's some of the most fashionable swimwear right now.

Swami's Trunks 

These men’s swim shorts by Swami's are quick drying, so no more sitting around in soggy trunks for an extended period of time. The design is funky but the colours aren’t overbearing too. For convenience, the shorts have an elasticated waistband and Velcro fly, on seam pockets and a flap back pocket. You might just want to make sure you leave your phone behind before you take a plunge in the pool.

Rip Curl Wetsuits 

There's nothing better than riding the waves, and thanks to the best wetsuits on the market, you can enjoy surfing all year round. The Rip Curl Dawn Patrol is a top choice among surfers and is made from 100% E4 neoprene. This wetsuit is lightweight, yet keeps you warm and is fully water resistant, so you can assure you’ll be dry under the suit keeping you safe. The neoprene has a super stretch quality which means that you are fully flexible at all times and not restricted.

Pretty Green Swim Shorts 

Liam Gallagher has found a new calling for himself after the breakup of Oasis, and his high-end clothing label is consistently going from strength to strength. With the classic Pretty Green paisley design, these swim shorts are made from a comfortable lightweight fabric. With an elasticated waistband and drawstring fastening, these trunks have side and back pockets along with a breathable mesh lining. Perfect for bringing out your inner Mod when you hit the beaches.

Animal Wetsuits 

Whenever you go surfing you'll want to stay in the water for as long as possible, and the Animal Amp is the perfect wetsuit for the job since it provides your body with a super stretch force field. A-Flex AK knee pads provide extra padding for your comfort when you’re kneeling on the board too. The neck and cuffs of the wetsuit seal tight to your skin to ensure a minimal chance of water infiltration.

Sandro Swim Trunks 

Recreate the iconic moment when Daniel Craig stepped out of the ocean in Casino Royale with these designer swim trunks. These Sandro trunks have a drawstring waistband, are slim fitting and fit true to your size - so if you prefer a looser fitting trunk, be sure to order a size up. There are two side seam pockets as well as two piped pockets around the back with press-studs. The design is simple, classic and stylish, available in navy or charcoal grey.
