Orlebar Brown Expands Its Cult Swimwear Line With Three New Fits

From tailored short cuts to relaxed resort-ready fits, the brand’s latest swimwear drop proves that great vacation style starts long before you reach the water. 

Some are built for swimming; others for lounging in an infinity pool with a negroni in hand. Orlebar Brown’s latest launch manages to achieve both activities effortlessly.

The brand is expanding upon its men’s swimwear range with three new swim short styles: the Jack, the Boxer, and the Mastiff. The names are coined from the length and shape of the briefs, rather than canine breeds. The Jack offers a short, tailored style; the Boxer, a mid-length cut; and the Mastiff, a longer, looser fit. They join Orlebar Brown’s classic, side-adjuster swim-trunk style that is based on the pattern of men’s tailored trousers.

The result of more than two years’ of experimentation and refinement, the shorts have been designed to allow for adaptability as well as an elegant silhouette. All three styles have all been engineered to sit almost flat at the front, with the gathering discreetly pushed to the back and extra room offered around the waist, hips, and legs.

Lovingly crafted in Italy, the shorts feature fabric made from recycled plastic, finished with elevated details such as eyelets and cord ends in silver or gold. The color palette ranges from timeless neutrals – think granite, elephant grey, and herbal green – to statement patterns such as Vermillion Stripe and Passetto Print.  Every pair has been tested in chlorinated water, comes packaged up with a durable water-resistant drawstring bag, and is backed by a five-year guarantee.

Crucially, the collection acknowledges that no two holidays – or holiday dress codes – are the same. You might enjoy lengthy club lunches in conservative attire or perhaps you prefer more active rock pooling or ocean snorkelling sessions. With options spanning half-elasticated, side-adjusted and fully elasticated waistbands, Orlebar Brown’s latest launch offers a fit for every itinerary.
