01Overview

Chubbies the Palm Beach swim trunk brings a bold slice of vacation energy to the beach bag, cut in the brand's signature above-the-knee length that balances retro swagger with modern comfort. The print pulls inspiration from sun-drenched coastlines and leafy palm groves, splashed across quick-dry fabric in a colorway that feels equal parts nostalgic and new. It's built for guys who want their swimwear to make a statement without sacrificing the easy, relaxed fit that lets you move freely from the sand to the surf to the bar cart without a second thought.

Underneath the playful exterior, the construction is all business when it comes to beach-day performance. A mesh liner keeps things breathable and supportive, while the lightweight, fast-drying material means you're not lugging around a soggy trunk after every ocean dip or pool cannonball. The elastic waistband paired with a drawstring closure gives a secure, adjustable fit that stays put whether you're paddleboarding, tossing a football, or just lounging in a hammock with a cold drink in hand. Side pockets and a secure back pocket with a hidden zipper offer just enough storage for a room key or a few bucks, so you're not stuck running back to the towel every five minutes.

What really sets the Palm Beach trunk apart is the way it channels that unmistakable Chubbies personality—confident, a little cheeky, and never taking itself too seriously. It's the kind of swimwear that turns a regular pool day into an event, sparking conversations and compliments wherever palm fronds and poolside laughter collide. Whether it's a tropical getaway, a backyard barbecue with a slip-n-slide, or a weekend at the lake with the crew, this trunk delivers a look that says you came ready to have fun, backed by fabric and fit that can actually keep up with the good times.
