Subtle patterns make for a sophisticated alternative to block colours. ### They Also Have Really Fun Prints From the Amalfi Coast to the iconic Hotel Du Cap Eden Roc, some of the world’s most celebrated sunshine destinations have been immortalised on Orlebar Brown’s cult trunks. Invest in the quirky styles, or alternatively make the most of their #Snapshorts campaign by emblazoning any image of your choice onto a pair of their shorts. ![Bright Emerald/Cloud Mid-Length Swim Shorts](https://media.slman.com/w5YJnwufpWcd2-9A3MYEdLlsqsI=/600x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2021%2F08%2Fcloudprintmid-lengthswimshorts.png) [#### Bright Emerald/Cloud Mid-Length Swim Shorts](https://www.orlebarbrown.com/men/swim-shorts/bulldog/green/273663.html?dwvar_273663_color=4261&#q=cloud+print+mid+length&start=6/?utm_source=sl_man&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=swim) £195 ![Roc Pool Mid-Length Swim Shorts](https://media.slman.com/7UzRyjda6d-J4wdJK8b1cceycCk=/600x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2021%2F08%2Frocpoolmid-lengthswimshorts.png) [#### Roc Pool Mid-Length Swim Shorts](https://www.orlebarbrown.com/men/swim-shorts/bulldog/blue/263115.html?dwvar_263115_color=2337/?utm_source=sl_man&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=swim) £225 ![Navy/White Orlando Print Mid-Length Swim Shorts](https://media.slman.com/C3TIxKFc0C_nNqR99E_AaaMq0Wg=/600x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2021%2F08%2Fwhitenavyorlandoprintmid-lengthswimshorts.png) [#### Navy/White Orlando Print Mid-Length Swim Shorts](https://www.orlebarbrown.com/men/swim-shorts/bulldog/274701.html?dwvar_274701_color=623/?utm_source=sl_man&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=swim) £195 ![Capri Blue Mid-Length Drawcord Swim Shorts](https://media.slman.com/WruTRBorRTqhtG_udJlzzfFhcBk=/600x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2021%2F08%2Fcapribluemid-lengthdrawcordswimshorts.png) [#### Capri Blue Mid-Length Drawcord Swim Shorts](https://www.orlebarbrown.com/men/swim-shorts/bulldog-drawcord/274160.html?dwvar_274160_color=4217/?utm_source=sl_man&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=swim) £195 ![Pebble Mid-Length Swim Shorts](https://media.slman.com/XCtSf9Rzo6jteIYd6PnLGpoee8g=/600x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2021%2F08%2Fpebblemid-lengthswimshorts.png) [#### Pebble Mid-Length Swim Shorts](https://www.orlebarbrown.com/men/swim-shorts/bulldog/grey/272668.html?dwvar_272668_color=3973/?utm_source=sl_man&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=swim) £165 ![Skydiver/Cloud Mid-Length Swim Shorts](https://media.slman.com/LOtYIglLwxdWkman6btTi9kMIiw=/600x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2021%2F08%2Fcloudmid-lengthswimshorts.png) [#### Skydiver/Cloud Mid-Length Swim Shorts](https://www.orlebarbrown.com/men/swim-shorts/bulldog/274175.html?dwvar_274175_color=4140/?utm_source=sl_man&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=swim) £195 ![Navy Sport Swim Shorts](https://media.slman.com/e6m6rJSeTuHTXTEaSfCMbKn9QuA=/600x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2021%2F08%2Fnavysportswimshorts.png) [#### Navy Sport Swim Shorts](https://www.orlebarbrown.com/men/swim-shorts/bulldog-sport/navy/250957.html?dwvar_250957_color=57/?utm_source=sl_man&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=swim) £125 ![Vintage Rose/Cloud Narin Mid-Length Swim Shorts](https://media.slman.com/-9tST06vgHUZ7C4dHWC0pJ9dquA=/600x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2021%2F08%2Fcloudnarinmid-lengthswimshorts.png) [#### Vintage Rose/Cloud Narin Mid-Length Swim Shorts](https://www.orlebarbrown.com/men/swim-shorts/bulldog/274176.html?dwvar_274176_color=4314/?utm_source=sl_man&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=swim) £195 [ ![](https://media.slman.com/DbK0Wirn6oQIMHCaoRZ2cIgATMg=/1920x0/smart/filters:no_upscale()/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2021%2F08%2F3new-orlebar-editorial.jpg) ](https://www.orlebarbrown.com/?utm_source=sl_man&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=swim) ### There Are Multiple Fits As far as we’re concerned, it doesn’t get better than the Bulldog.
