Do you choose your sunglasses to go with your beachwear or the other way around? Well, it won’t matter either way when you see these themes by some of the hippest designers in the world of board shorts—or trunks—or whatever you want to call these do-anything, be-anybody bottom halves.

Simple, stylie and sustainable: These are just some of the words that sum up this intentional brand of global citizens. What they’re really out to craft? Meaningful connections in an increasingly multicultural world.
