What to wear to the beach for men: complete surf style guide
Choosing the right clothes to wear to the beach for men can make the difference between a basic look and an authentic surf style. The right garments not only provide comfort under the sun, but also reflect the relaxed lifestyle that characterizes surfwear.
Surf brands have been perfecting beachwear for decades: lightweight t-shirts, comfortable swim trunks, caps to protect from the sun, and sturdy flip-flops for walking on the sand.
In this guide, we explain the essential garments that every men's beach look should have.
Surf swim trunks: the foundation of the beach look
Swim trunks are the main garment when you go to the beach. Surf boardshorts stand out for their comfort, saltwater resistance, and quick-drying properties.
Surf brands like Billabong or Rip Curl have been developing swim trunks designed for the water and for casual beach style for years.
Surf t-shirts for everyday wear
Surf t-shirts are perfect for after getting out of the water or for strolling along the boardwalk.
They are usually made of comfortable and breathable cotton, with graphics inspired by surf culture.
Surf caps to protect from the sun
Surf caps are not only a style accessory, they also help protect from the sun during long beach days.
Trucker caps with mesh are especially popular in summer because they allow for greater ventilation.
Flip-flops: the essential footwear
Flip-flops are the most practical footwear for the beach. They are lightweight, comfortable, and easy to put on and take off.
Brands like Reef or Havaianas have been manufacturing flip-flops designed for sand, water, and summer for years.
