| Unless you are a minimalist, carry a man purse or wear your keys on a chain around your neck, pockets are a great convenience when it comes to swim shorts. The flattering swim short style, which is available in many lengths, is greatly enhanced by a clever pocket or two. On-seam hip pockets blend into the cut of the shorts and provide lots of space for what-nots. If you prefer a flatter cut, cargo pockets are just the thing. Some pockets are designed with a stay-closed velcro flap to keep small items secure. There are even pockets with zipper closures, built-in key loops and mesh construction, which lets water drain quickly. Aside from the flattering fit and utility of swim shorts with pockets, manufacturers keep you coming back for more with a vast array of styles. Traditionalists may prefer the classic cut--loose hitting and falling a few inches above the knee. Longer leg shorts are available too, with either an elastic waistband or the rigid flat front board short style. |
