Tommy Hilfiger Men's Blue Bottom Swimsuit
Tommy Hilfiger's Medium Drawstring has been the safe pick for years โ this blue version shows exactly why.
What stands out here is that you get precisely what you expect, no fuss. It's Tommy's classic mid-thigh swim short: 100% recycled polyester, quick to dry, with a broad waistband and a drawstring that actually holds. No reinvention, but a short that still looks tidy after three summers โ and that brand logo is part of what you're paying for.
Reasons to buy
- Fabric dries noticeably fast and stays lightweight, even straight out of the water
- Broad double waistband with a sturdy drawstring stays put, even when you dive in
- Mid-thigh length sits cleanly โ not too short, none of that long board-short look
- Made entirely from recycled polyester, a nice touch if that matters to you
Reasons to consider
- At around 70 euros, a clear chunk of the price is the brand name
- The fit runs on the slim side โ size up if you're in doubt
- Some wearers find the fine mesh inner lining a bit on the thin side
Fit and comfort
The Medium Drawstring is cut as a 'regular' fit with a light taper, which in practice reads as fairly slim. Plenty of buyers report it runs small rather than generous, so if you're between sizes, go up. The broad elasticated waistband with its solid drawstring is the standout: it doesn't pinch, but it won't slide down the moment you take a dive either. The mid-thigh length lands in that classic sweet spot you never have to think about โ sporty enough for the beach, tidy enough for the hotel pool.
Fabric and finish
The material is 100% recycled polyester: thin, supple and quick-drying. Out of the water it doesn't cling to your legs, and within half an hour at the table it's often dry again. There are two side pockets plus a back pocket with a little key loop โ handy for a day at the beach. The fine mesh lining does its job, though a few wearers call it a touch flimsy. The finish is what you'd expect from Tommy Hilfiger: neat stitching, the logo placed discreetly on the leg, and colour that holds up well after a 30-degree wash.
Who is it for?
Ideal for anyone who wants a reliable, timeless swim short that survives several summers and isn't chasing the surfer-short look. If you prefer a roomier or longer cut, or you're mostly hunting for the cheapest option, this one isn't for you.
FAQ
Does it fit true to size or should I order up?
It runs on the slim side. If you've got fuller thighs or you're between sizes, take the next size up โ it makes a real difference in comfort.
Does it dry fast enough to wear around afterwards?
Yes, that's genuinely its strong suit. The thin recycled polyester dries quickly, so after a swim you can happily sit down at the table without feeling soaked.
