Bow ties, fur hoods, man cardigans – in case you worry Flora’s filling your head with too much “girl-approved fashion,” fear not – I’ve been doing my homework on some stuff boys like (from the boy himself).

First item up for discussion, Hurley’s newly launched line of boardshorts, the very handsome, ridiculously high-tech Phantom collection.

Hurley Phantom 60 Kings Road in Cinder ($59)

Upon laying my eyes on these babies, I immediately wondered are these the ones? The ones I’ll reach for all summer whether I’m out surfing, swimming or even just lounging pool-side, because they’re really and truly my new favorite pair of swim trunks? After taking them out for a test swim, I can safely say yes, these will do just fine.

Made from a patent-pending 4 way stretch fabric, they’re not only comfortable, they’re also ultra lightweight and thin (let’s just say I had to peer intently in the bathroom mirror to ensure my dignity would be in tact). And at 22″ in length, they’re just long enough to cover my pale thighs.

Get a pair now.
