In our quest to help you be the “coolest” man in the heat, we’ve included in our selection pieces you can order online, ensuring you will be the only one by the pool and at beach to boast that funky pattern or colourful scenery.
Onia – Calder 7.5
The Calder Trunk is Onia’s signature style; committed to class, style and quality inside out. The fit is inspired by the classic chino cut and the construction takes a cue from high-end dress pants. We love the green banana leaf on white background on this Merida Leaf model, definitely evoking a tropical feel.

Orlebar Brown – Bulldog – various Photographic Mid-Length Swim
Shorts
Orlebar Brown‘s Bulldog cut is based on the traditional 17 piece pattern of male suit trousers. It is both a short you can swim in and a swim short, tailored for style, comfort and performance , and can easily be worn on and off the beach. From the Roc Pool (below right) nestled in a cliff overlooking the turquoise sea, to a cozy lounge setup hidden between palm trees –Sea You There (below left), the fresh scenes depicted on many of the models just make you want to vacation at those destinations. And guess what… The brand used a satellite aerial view of Abu Dhabi on one of its Mid-Length Swim Shorts, the Abu Dhabi Aerial Print! The unique designs are worth splurging (pricey cost of around AED1,275) for a stylish splash!
