I’m 45 and I love Albion.

Can people recommend swim shorts they like?

This is super flattering—my body type is similar to yours.

DP I like this but I have fat thighs so it wouldn't work for me.

It’s true. However, they keep their base colors (black, navy) THE SAME from year to year, so you can build up a capsule swim wardrobe over several years.

And they also have some very anti-dated stuff—last summer I got a pair of ruched high-waisted bottoms and a one-shoulder tankini top in a very cute metallic sheen that I am now seeing show up in lots of other places.

What is with the metallic swimwear trend this season? I'm glad it works for you OP but it definitely does absolutely nothing for my skin tone.

I got a cute tankini with coordinating shorts and rash guard at REI during their member sale. The brand was Nani.

I like Seafolly suits, though not the boyshort one posted upthread (I like a higher cut leg).

Note that metallic swimwear slightly increases the risk of shark attacks. Anything that catches the light looks more like fish scales to hungry shark. Not an issue at the neighborhood swim club though!

I posted up thread the title ix one I like. I also like athletes but I think the discontinued the ones I like. The lands end ones are okay but I find the fabric less comfortable. I think the title ix ones also have a zip pocket on the back waistband which is great for a hotel keycard or credit card.

This is really cute but I’m confused by the terry cloth fabric. Has anyone had a terry cloth swimsuit? Seems counter intuitive.

Ditto here…though I’m 55. I wear swim shorts from Land’s End and a halter-style tankini top.

If anyone has seen swim shorts with boy short/boxer brief liner instead of bikini liners, please pass on. The bikini underwear under shorts is just not flattering…I wear them with no liner and hope I don’t flash anyone…

Ooh, the Carve stuff is v. cute! Bottom one a little too preppy for me.

I just ordered a bunch of options from Left on Friday to try. I like the high waist, full coverage of these bottoms.

The one-shoulder ones from TJ MAXX/Ross are lovely. They are $20-30 the most. I have blue and black.
