My son is 16 years old and wears small men's clothes instead of tops but has a hard time finding bottoms as his waist is 27 inches. He can wear men's pants with a 28 inch waist, but it's a bit baggy and loose on him. For reference, he is 5 feet 6 inches tall. So when he was looking for a new pair of swim trunks this summer we bought this boy a size 14-16 and it fit him instead of going for a 28" or Men's Small! Actually he's still a little loose but that's okay as the Trunk has an elastic waistband as well as a drawstring with double loops to pull it securely around his waist He loves it because: ✔️ It fits his 27" waist snugly and comfortably ✔️ It has a mesh lining for extra comfort ✔️ It's not too short and hits just above the knee ✔️ Great designs and patterns ✔️ Elastic waistband and drawstring for a flexible fit ✔️ UPF 50+, lightweight, quick drying and side pocket - nice to have. BASE: 5 out of 5 stars. I would highly recommend these swim trunks to all teenagers. I hope my photos and link to my son's height and waist were helpful.
