My son is 16 years old and wears S-shape men's pants but has a hard time finding bottoms as his waist measurement is 27 inches. He can wear men's 28" waist shorts but they are a bit big and loose for him. For reference he is 5ft 6" tall. So when he was looking for a new swim trunks this summer we bought this boy a size 14- 16 and it fit him instead of going for the 28" or Men's Small! It's actually a little loose, but that's okay as the trunk has an elastic waistband and a drawstring with double loops to pull it securely around his waist. He loves it because: โ๏ธ it fits his 27" waist snugly and comfortably โ๏ธ it has a mesh lining for extra comfort โ๏ธ it's not too short and hits just above the knees โ๏ธ great designs and patterns โ๏ธ elastic waistband and drawstring for a flexible fit โ๏ธ UPF 50+ light weight quick drying and side pocket - nice to have BOTTOM LINER: 5 stars out of 5 I would highly recommend these swim trunks to all teens I hope my photos and link to my son's height and waist were helpful.
