Luxury resort wear brand Orlebar Brown has been taking men from the beach to the boardwalk in style since it first launched in 2007. The London-based label has since expanded its line, currently offering a collection of lifestyle apparel for both men and women. While the brand continues to evolve, its line of men's tailored beachwear continues to be a favorite among the world's most fashion forward, fun-loving gents.

So what is it exactly that makes a pair of shorts such a hot item? A perfectly tailored cut, perhaps. An innovative speed-dry technology, perhaps. A combination of each, definitely.

Utilizing a breakthrough Nanotechnology, Orlebar Brown has managed to create a stylish — and oh-so-comfortable — swim trunk that not only reduces water absorption, but also maintains breathability while dramatically accelerating drying time.

The three collections — OB Classic, OB Sport, OB Resort — each feature a short, a medium, and a long-style trunk in a wide array of vibrant colors. Subdued neons such as reef blue, chartreuse and rescuered are the key colors for the Spring Summer 2012 collection, which pays tribute to both the spirit of Slim Aarons 1960s photography of the Riviera and Palm Springs, as well as the inside/outside mood of Pierre Koenig’s Californian architecture.
