To sum up, lifeguard shorts finish a few inches above the knee and fall between a tight fit and a baggy fit. Both regular shorts and lifeguard shorts usually have comfortable mesh lining with nylon shells. Make sure that they fit properly around the waist and feature resistant draw cords. The draw cord is usually one of the first things to go bad on a new pair of shorts. It usually breaks or gets caught inside the lining and thereby cannot be pulled back out.
Interesting alternatives are velcro straps or, if the shorts fit perfectly, stylish button flies.
Look for shorts that fall at longer than standard length, or ornamented shorts with Tribal or Asian styled prints. Go for colors like gray, light blue and cream. The prints are usually white or a lighter tone of the same color. It's still a taboo subject among men, but more and more realize that the face isn't the only place that needs a shave.
