Another classic look that comes straight off the cover of an early Beach Boys LP, Rhythm's Essential Trunk in olive combines vintage style with modern fabrics. Built from 92% polyester with 8% spandex, they've got proper stretch for movement in the water whilst maintaining structure when you're out of it. The 19-inch outseam provides more coverage than typical swim shorts, just like authentic boardies. Meanwhile, the piping side detail adds visual interest without being garish, creating a subtle focal point that elevates them beyond basic. The contoured fit is shaped to follow your body rather than hanging limply or clinging awkwardly, creating a flattering silhouette without being restrictive. And the mesh-lined back pocket is brilliantly practical – properly functional storage rather than a token addition, useful for keys or cards without adding bulk. They're the sort of trunks that become your default grab for water activities, mainly because they do exactly what you need without any drama. Straightforward, well-made, and refreshingly unpretentious.

How to measure:
There's a certain rhythm to coastal living – the way the tide rolls in, the Pixies-esque loud-QUIET-loud crash of waves, the predictable unpredictability of marine weather. Rhythm gets it. Born from Australia's surf-soaked coastline, this is kit designed for people who structure their days around dawn patrols and who can tell you the swell forecast before they've had their morning brew. Since day one, they've been crafting apparel that moves between beach and daily life without missing a beat, pieces that look equally at home on a clifftop hike or slouched over a flat white in town.
The aesthetic is relaxed without being scruffy, considered without feeling precious. Think oversized fleeces that envelop you like a best-friend’s hug, denim that's been pre-washed to perfection from the get-go, and that rare breed of jersey tee that somehow improves with every wear. It's the sort of gear that becomes part of your routine – the fleece you reach for when the sun disappears below the horizon, the overalls that do double duty in garden or workshop. Rhythm's about finding your groove and sticking with it, building a wardrobe that works as hard as you play.
