The Elysium Summer of Style is in full flow, and this week we take a look at swimwear \u2013 just in time for the \u2018heat wave\u2019 currently across the UK. Yes, as discerning gents you\u2019ll aim to be looking sharp when the temperature rises, even when dressed in very little, because style never takes a day off. To achieve this, a quality pair or two of well-fitted swim shorts really will set you apart from the crowds on beaches throughout the UK, Europe and beyond this summer.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Whether you’ll want to go all-out bold, or more subtle in your choice of swim shorts is entirely up to you. Just make sure they fit well, and rest at least two inches above the knee and you\u2019ll be ready to make an impact on the beach, or by the pool, this summer. Here is Elysium\u2019s picks of the best colours, styles and patterns to adorn your lower half in the heat, making you a beacon of style in the sea, sand or on the sunbed.<\/p>\n
