The summer is a time to get outdoors, enjoying the warm weather, and make a splash! Fashion is laid back and focused on comfort, keeping cool, and looking good. Whether you are spending your days sitting poolside with a refreshing drink or playing volleyball on the beach with your friends, we have you and your wardrobe covered.

All you need is a great swimsuit, sunscreen, and some flip flops to be ready for your favorite water activities! Our swim trunks will keep you looking trendy with one-of-a-kind prints, styles, and shades.

Men’s Swim Trunks to Keep You Looking Cool this Summer

All our bathing suits are extremely colorful and will help you to show off your summer glow. If looking and feeling good this summer is your goal, we suggest choosing an eye-catching set of trunks that do the job of a head-to-toe outfit when it comes to style.

The Best Men’s Swim Trunks

There are endless styles of swim trunks available to men, from knee length board shorts to the returning short shorts. Ours come in different lengths, but one thing remains the same. We have an array of colors and designs, including:

Men’s Swim Trunk Designs

-   Tie Dye

-   Ombre

-   Graphic prints

-   Fruit patterns

-   Bold patterns

Make Swim Trunks a Versatile Summer Outfit

Even though most of the time you’ll be rocking your suit shirtless, there will be times you want to pair it with more clothing. We want you to feel inspired to create outfits with pieces that you already own, but we also have great recommendations for making your trunks appropriate for a quick lunch between body surfing sessions.

When dry, swim trunks can easily pass for regular men’s shorts. If you choose to wear them to a pool party or on vacation to the beach, you likely want to arrive with a top and shoes that can easily be removed for fun in the water.

Tops that Pair with Trunks

-   tees

-   tanks

-   short sleeve button up shirts

-   hoodies

Keep in Casual

Because of the casualness that bathing suits tend to give off, the setting that you will probably be wearing this outfit in will most likely be accepting of wearing button down shirts unbuttoned.

Bathing suits can be worn in both a casual setting and in a more formal setting. Of course, not as formal as a black-tie event, but there are more formal events where you can wear a bathing suit like a graduation party or a beach party on vacation.

If pairing with a t-shirt or tank, we like finishing the look with a good slip on sneaker and hat.  A favorite pairing of ours is the men’s blue Aloha Print Volley swim shorts with either our Dusty Blue Drip Tank Top or our White Streaky Print Tee, depending on how much muscle you would like to show off.

If it gets chilly towards the end of the day when the sun starts to set on the beach feel free to throw on a hoodie or a long sleeve tee to keep you warm. If you are in and out of the pool in the backyard or at the beach you are most likely going to be barefoot but if you want to finish this look off with a pair or shoes feel free to wear a pair of slides or sneakers.

Jazz it Up

On the other hand, if you want to wear a bathing suit in a less casual setting like a party or restaurant, we can definitely help you with some ideas on how to dress up your trunks. One of our fun bathing suits that can be dressed up are our men’s Green Tie Dye swim shorts. This bathing suit can even be worn as a pair of regular shorts during the summer.

You can pair either this particular swim suit or one of your own swim trunks with a button down shirt like our Wien Long Sleeve Woven Shirt. Wear this button down buttoned up halfway or completely unbuttoned for more of a laid-back look. Any button up short sleeve shirts would go perfect with a swimsuit.

To finish off this look, we recommend pairing these outfits with accessories like hats and sunglasses. A fedora style hat would definitely cap off the button down and swim trunks outfit. It gives off a beachy and tropical look and will make you feel like you are on a vacation on an island anywhere in the world even if you are just hanging out in your own backyard. A stylish pair of clubmasters or aviator sunglasses would give it an extra touch of style as well. Don't forget to finish this look off with a pair of boat shoes or sandals that you can easily slip on and off throughout the day!

Go for the Bold Choice

You don’t have to play it safe with your swim trunk design. Liven things up with bright colors and patterns you wouldn’t entertain for daily wear. We love a bold, bright suit!

Festive Men’s Swim Trunks

-   Watermelon Swim Trunks

-   Popsicle Swim Trunks

Each of these printed trunks relate to summer vibes. While wearing them you can fully immerse yourself in all things summer. The Popsicle swim trunks come in both aqua and navy so you can choose which shade of blue suits you best.

All of these styles can be paired with any of our t-shirts or hoodies which can be worn during the chillier days on the beach. Some of our favorite hoodies that go great with these graphic swim trunks include our men’s White Legend Worldwide Hoodie or our men’s White Brooklyn Graffiti Doodle Hoodie. Both of these hoodies also have original graphic designs all around them.

Bathing suits don’t get worn as often as our other clothing, so we tend to hold onto them for a while. Although most of us are guilty of this, let us assure you, it is important to continue to upgrade and revamp your summer wardrobe every so often. The popular trends are constantly changing, and we want to keep our #BKKAM in style. The best is yet to come is a saying that many people live by, and it applies to clothing as well.

Don't forget to express yourself through your clothing even with something as casual as a pair of swim trunks. Our goal here at Unclebuddysermons is to provide our #BKFAM with the best, most comfortable clothing all year around!

After a couple of months had passed and work video chats resumed, we began to feel sluggish and lazy. Clothing really does seem to have something to do with our lack of productivity. If you feel great because you look great, you will tend to be more productive throughout the day.

We still weren’t ready to throw back on our usual pair of work pants or jeans just yet so we collectively brought biker shorts back into the game of looking trendy while still feeling comfortable.

Our Favorite Summer 2021 Look: Biker Shorts

Biker shorts are a great alternative to our comfortable leisurewear consisting of sweatpants and hoodies. Although these pieces bring us ultimate comfort, wearing them all day long wasn’t helping our productivity levels. 

What Are Biker Shorts?

Biker shorts are a combination of shorts and leggings. When they were first created, they were originally used for cyclists who rode their bikes for long periods of time or those who competed in races.

Assos created the first pair of biker shorts for these cyclists in 1976. After popularity spread, an Italian designer, Armando Castelli, and his son created biker shorts for the public. When they launched these shorts, there was a line that formed quickly around the factory for consumers to get their hands on a pair. 

Although they were created for athletes, they are no longer just for individuals participating in athletics. These shorts are widely worn by individuals who are just looking for a comfortable piece to complete their regular day to day outfits. As we all know, these shorts were wildly popular thanks to Princess Diana in the 1990s.

Biker Shorts on Trend

Princess Diana was constantly being photographed wearing her biker shorts paired with baggy sweatshirts going to and from work outs. The same look is now being re-created in present time. We are constantly seeing celebrities and ordinary people walking the streets wearing this exact look. Many of us are familiar with the picture of Princess Diana stopped on the sidewalk, wearing biker shorts, holding her bag with her keys in her mouth.

This look has been re-created various times. It is often compared side-by-side to celebrities like Hailey Bieber who often wears the same type of look. Some other celebrities that have jumped on this biker shorts trend are Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s fashion line, Yeezy. Kim Kardashian is constantly being photographed wearing biker shorts paired with a matching top, sports bra or baggy sweatshirt.

These leisurewear outfits are usually paired with a pair of chunky sneakers and high socks. The celebrities wearing these outfits are not usually on their way to work out though. It is interesting how something that used to be solely used for exercise and activities has evolved and is now seen as a major fashion trend for all occasions. 

Many of the celebrities that we see wearing biker shorts pair them with a matching sports bra or a baggy oversize sweatshirt. These outfits are also worn with sneakers and high socks to absolutely be on point with the Princess Diana look from the 90’s. On the other hand, we have seen influencers and celebrities wearing biker shorts differently throughout the past year.

Pairing Biker Shorts

Not only are biker shorts usually paired with a pair of sneakers, but they are also sometimes seen with high heels, believe it or not. Celebrities have blurred the lines of fashion with this look.

Biker shorts are a great alternative to regular athletic shorts or leggings while working out because when the weather is too warm for leggings we tend to turn to our shorts.

The downfall to wearing shorts while working out is they constantly get bunched up while running. This annoyance tends to lead to chafing which can be painful and distracting. Biker shorts fit tightly around the thighs and stay in place while you are either running or doing your normal daily workout, so chafing won’t be an issue and you can get through your workout without having to constantly stop to adjust your attire. 

Styles of Biker Shorts

Biker shorts also come in many different lengths. Here at Unclebuddysermons, we offer biker shorts in both 5 inches and 7 inches. The look and the length vary between body sizes and which outfit you are incorporating them into.

Depending on which ones look and feel better on your body, it may also be beneficial to own various lengths so that you can mix and match them with different tops and jackets.

Working Out in Biker Shorts

Exercise was the essential use for the biker short and it was the reason why they were actually created in the first place. The perfect gym outfit is an outfit that is comfortable yet practical for all of your exercises. You do not want your outfit to get in the way of completing your work out.

Biker shorts are the perfect combination of leggings and shorts because you will not be sweating with your full leg covered. You also will not have to worry about your biker shorts riding up too much because they tend to stay in place.

You can do a casual look and pair of biker shorts with a baggy T-shirt. If you are aiming for a sleeker look, you can pair your biker shorts with a matching sports bra or a fitted workout tank top. The sneakers that you choose to wear obviously depends on what type of workout you are doing that day. If you are focusing on strength and training with weights, it would be a good idea to wear sneakers with a flat bottom like converse or vans. If you are doing more cardio or running, a classic running sneaker would be a great option to pair this outfit with. Either low or high socks work well with these ensembles.  

Biker shorts are also great for working out because many of them have pockets. We all know how handy pockets come in when running down the block because you have to hold your house key and your phone, but you do not want to have your hands full.

Working out is a daily activity for many people, so it is essential that you feel your best while doing so. Here at Unclebuddysermons, we want to help you achieve that perfect exercise look with our biker short collection. 

Biker Shorts as Athleisure

Athleisure gives you the perfect combination of comfortable and cute, allowing you to run errands or hang around your house. Biker shorts fit into this trend, providing you with another option for your athleisure collection.

Pair your biker shorts with an oversized t-shirt and tie off the tee for a more fitted look to create an easy outfit for every-day wear. We also love to see a  matching sports bra or cropped top with a zip up sweatshirt. Perfect the look with platform sneakers, like Vans or your favorite Converse.

If you really want to pull in the 90’s, grab some high socks and throw your hair in a scrunchy!

Best Biker Shorts

Biker shorts are available in a variety of fun prints and bright colors. Easily mix and match a variety of our pieces to make your look great.

You’ll find styles from Unclebuddysermons that are great for day or night! So much more comfortable than tight jeans, you’ll love the fit of our biker shorts that give you the perfect stretch and breathability.

Biker Shorts for Work and School

We know this may sound alarming, but again, it all comes back to what you pair your biker shorts with. Grab a solid pair of biker shorts and pair with a trendy blazer, we love the oversized blazer look, and you’ll be ready to present this month’s best numbers or your presentation for an A plus.

Cardigans and button-down collared shirts are another option to pair them for a chic, easy look. Close-toed high heels or flats are a great final accessory.

Going Out in Biker Shorts

If a celebrity can do it, so can you! Pair them with crop tops, oversized outerwear like jackets or blazers, and some fun jewelry to accessorize. We recommend the 7-inch length for your nights out, but that’s a personal preference.

This is the time to brighten things up with a neon top or a fun animal print! Throw on some booties, sneakers, or really anything you want—with biker shorts, everything works.

Biker Short Prints

Making the final decision of which biker shorts to add to your wardrobe can be difficult. We recommend changing back and forth between some solids and some prints to give you options for your every day. If this is your first pair of biker shorts, try something solid to get started and then go crazy, think of it as your first pair of black leggings.

• Tonal tie dye
• Lavender
• Dusty Rose
• Light Gray
• Sage
• Black
• Camouflage
• Leopard Print

All of the solid color biker shorts can be paired with whatever top you would like. Some options can be T-shirts, sweatshirts, tank tops, or sports bras like we mentioned before. You can even pair it with a fun print top because it won’t take away from the solid color biker shorts.

If you like having simple outfits like two solid color pieces, try adding a fun-colored shoe to spice up the outfit a little bit.

Your Biker Shorts, Your Way

Whether it be an athletic outfit, a leisure outfit to wear as you lounge around the house, or even a going out outfit to wear as you take on the city at night on the weekends, there are so many options and ways to have fun and be creative with these outfits.

We encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and try new styles within this biker shorts trend because you may like it better than the original ways that they were being worn. Who knows? You may even start a whole new trend for other fashionistas.

You can never have too many pairs of biker shorts, so don’t forget to stock up on all of the various prints and shades that we offer here at Unclebuddysermons to our #BKFAM.

Don’t forget to stay comfortable and trendy while hopping on the trend. We can’t wait to see what you come up with and where this trend leads you and the fashion industry next!

What are Board Shorts?

Board shorts are a type of men's swimwear that provides a longer more relaxed fit. They often are designed to dry quickly so they can go from swim to casual wear. The average length for board shorts is 22" with a longer knee length short than some other men's swimwear and men's trunk options.

Our Men's Board Shorts

We have 2 different types of swimwear for men:

• the first is the traditional board shorts
• the second is the volley shorts.

We want to share with you how we wear our board shorts!

Here is our Hula Girl Floral Board Shorts, there are so many different colors going on here so you can wear a Multi Color Tie Dye Swim Shorts

 Above we have our board shorts paired with a light pink distressed scoop hem tank when you chill this summer you can really make the board shorts stand out wearing a lighter color. Wearing a plain tank is easier to match with because it will pick up the colors in the board shorts.

Looking for board shorts that you can wear to a BBQ backyard party? We have the beer pong volley shorts that would be perfect for chillin with friends on a flamingo pool float while listening to some awesome music. 

 You can these swim shorts with either a red, blue or white tee or even a tank top. You can even wear these for Fourth of July weekend! Get ready to sink all the cups this summer!

Styling Board Shorts and Volley Shorts

For a more soft tone try on a pair of our fish bone volley shorts, now we can easily pair this with white and red because of the fish on the shorts but we like to mix it up!   

Sometimes matching is no fun but these volley shorts look great with our graphic tank "Trust No One" This tank has a really great ombre paint splatter design that pairs well with anything you wear on the bottom because it is neutral. 

To make you feel more at home on the beach kickin back with a drink in your hand get in our Aerial Beach View Print volley shorts, even if you can't make it to the beach you can wear these in the backyard just to chill.  

Whichever you prefer they are both comfortable for diving off the diving board, sitting pool side, relaxing on a tropical beach or skim boarding in the sand! 

If you have a certain way that you like to wear your board shorts we would love to here from you! Leave us a comment and we will respond back as soon as possible.

Ride the two famous rides Wonder Wheel and Cyclone

These two rides have been around since the 1920's and have made a name for themselves you can see the Wonder Wheel as you go over the Verrazano Bridge so people have made a connection with Wonder Wheel and Coney Island. The Wonder Wheel has 3 different color cars and the difference between this Ferris wheel and others is that some of the cars swing back and forth as the wheel goes around. Some may think this is terrifying and others find it awesome. So grab a friend and take a spin on the wonder wheel this summer. The Cyclone is the second most well known coaster at Coney Island and was built in 1927, only 7 year years after the Wonder Wheel. Cyclone gives you an authentic wooden coaster experience like no other. Go back in time to when wooden coasters were built get ready to reach new heights, turns and drops on this one of a kind beauty. 

 When your stomach starts to rumble you need to fuel your body

Grab a slice of pizza from Ferrari's Pizza in Coney Island. If you authentic brick over pizza this spot is for you. They have everything and anything on the menu from plain pizza to specialty slices. You name it they will make it. If you're in the mood for something quick walk over the Luna Snacks for some delicious treats that you eat while walking along boardwalk. Don't forget the cotton candy! On hot days the best treat is ice cream! Make your way down the boardwalk to Coney Cones for some delicious gelato. They have some really good flavors that will keep you cool and your taste buds happy. 

Challenge your friends to a game and see who is the best

There are many games games to play along the boardwalk for a good laugh you can test your skills against your friends to see who wins or play random people. The water racing games are always fun because the odds get tougher as more people play and it decreases your chances of coming home with that 4 ft giraffe! Who knows the odds may be in  your favor this time.  There are so many other games to choose from from balloon dart games to catching a plastic fish and weighing it to see what kind of prize you win. 

Events in Coney Island

Coney Island is known for putting on quite the shows or having different events that attract locals and tourists. Coming up Coney Island will be celebrating The Cyclone's 90th Birthday we don't know too many coasters that have a birthday but we hope to share in the celebration. 

When we were thinking of a photo shoot to do our summer campaign we couldn't think of a better place than the Coney Island Boardwalk. This boardwalk has been through the ups and downs for years and now is a great summer destination. Here at Unclebuddysermons we stand by a culture surrounded by family, friends, good laughs and good times which is why we chose this spot. Everyone grew up going to Coney Island and it holds a place in their hearts where you can just kick back and relax, play games, eat and go on so many rides until you are dizzy. We had a great time doing our summer campaign here because the inspiration came from what we know and what we grew up with.

So go out with some friends and have a blast this summer Unclebuddysermons Style!

If we missed something that you like to do in Coney Island leave a comment we would love to hear about more things to do here! 

During the summer we love to catch some sun but also be able to go get something to eat without going far or having to drive somewhere especially if we wanted to stay the whole day. Coney Island Beach is one of our favorite beaches because not only does it have a beach but also has a boardwalk, food and rides. This beach as it all whether you hang out with the fam or with friends grab some rays by day and some rides by night and don't forget the cotton candy, summer is nothing without it. Coney Island also has a Mermaid Parade where everyone dresses up as a mermaid or a mystical creature for the day. 

If you are looking for a spot that is more low key and not too family oriented then you may want to take a trip passed Coney Island and head to Brighton Beach. Brighton Beach may be a part of Coney Island but it doesn't have all the attractions and is more peaceful to take a nap in the sand and listen to the waves crash along the shoreline.

Another beach in Brooklyn is the Manhattan Beach Park. This beach is perfect for families to hang out in the sun. You can bring your own picnic baskets and have a barbecue or go play in the sand and swim in the water. In the park section you can play different kinds of sports from tennis to basketball which makes it fun if you don't want to lay on the beach all day long and be active.   

 Another beach that is growing in popularity but more for locals is Rockaway Beach in Queens. This beach is a collection of smaller beaches where residents live and can walk to the beach in minutes. There are more relaxed things to do there like get breakfast, lunch or dinner after a day at the beach. There is not too much going on and doesn't get overly crowded like other beaches where people from all over come to visit. 

Whichever beach you decide to go to this summer make it a Brooklyn Beach!

Happy Summer homies!
