Ask most suave European gentlemen and they’ll tell you that a swim short should never fall below the knee. We think pretty similarly here at The Goods, and when we saw this pair of navy Orlebar Brown “Setter” shorts, we loved the short leg length and how the brand has made it a goal to re-familiarize the world with a classic 1950s style (everyone loves Gidget, right?). Unlike most boxy swimsuits, this pair is tailored to fit, but it maintains some of the traditional features men dig, like net lining and quick-drying material. Although these shorts won’t inspire us to dance with large groups of friends along to surf tunes, we still can’t wait to show off our gams. $235.

The Find: a decoration that reminds us what we like about the TTC (um, not the potential fare hikes)
The Find: shoelaces (no, seriously, these ones are awesome)
The Find: smelly jeans (seriously, they smell, and you’ll like it)
The Find: a clutch (because the New York Times seems to think it’s a trend)
And only 235$, what a deal!
