• Up until the early 1900s, men's swimwear resembled that of women, with a one-piece garment with cut-out legs and arms, commonly made of wool.

• In the 1930s, men started removing the upper part of their swimwear, a trend that became even more common in the 1940s. During this time, men wore bottoms with a high waist and low-cut legs, often made of Lastex fabric and with a white belt.

• In the 1950s, the belt was replaced with wide elastic bands. Men's swimwear during this decade came in two main styles: briefs and boxers.

• In the 1970s, "board shorts" became a popular new style of swimwear for men, as they served as both swimwear and athletic wear.

• During the 1980s, men's swimwear was dominated by bold-colored and printed boxers, and Speedos also gained increased popularity.

• Technological advancements in the 2000s led to an explosion of competitive swimwear, with new fabrics, techniques, and styles.

Today, there is a wide range of swimwear styles available for both men and women, all to help you find the options that suit you best. Swimwear also comes in various materials. Among our styles, you'll find many swim shorts made of recycled polyester for both adults and among our children's swim shorts. Shop your new favourite swim shorts at Björn Borg today!
