Summer style is already about keeping things light, so it only makes sense your clothes should feel better across the board. Eco-friendly pieces often use recycled or lower-impact materials, which means less waste and less strain on resources compared to traditional production. But beyond that, they’re built to last longer and stay in rotation, instead of being one-and-done.
So instead of buying something for one trip or one weekend, you’re building a lineup you’ll keep reaching for. Same effortless vibe, just with more intention behind it. Think recycled swim trunks, denim that holds up over time, and everyday basics that don’t fall off after a few washes. Nothing complicated—just better choices that still fit your style.
Start With What You’ll Actually Wear
A good eco-friendly wardrobe isn’t about having more. It’s about having the right pieces on repeat.
For men, that usually looks like:
- Relaxed jeans for everyday wear
- Swim trunks that work for beach, pool, and whatever’s after
- Lightweight tops you can throw on with anything
- Neutral tones + easy prints that don’t overcomplicate it
Same effortless vibe, just a little more thought behind how it’s made.
Denim That Feels More Intentional
Denim still carries summer nights. It’s the fallback when you don’t want to think about your outfit but still want it to hit. A solid pair of our men’s sustainable jeans gives you that same worn-in feel, just made a little better thanks to its sustainably-sourced cotton fabrication. Throw them on with a tank, oversized tee, or short-sleeve button-up and you’re set. The fit stays relaxed, the styling stays easy—nothing forced. Just denim that works now and later.
Swim Trunks That Do Both
The best swim trunks don’t just stay at the beach—they carry the whole day. The Pacsun Mariner Striped Eco 4.5" Swim Trunks are an easy go-to. Slightly shorter, clean look, and made with recycled materials without feeling like a “sustainable” statement piece.
If you want something more classic, the Pacsun Plaid Collegiate 6.5" Swim Trunks bring that vintage, slightly preppy energy. Easy with a tank, button-up, or worn tee. The Pacsun Striped Yacht 4.5" Swim Trunk leans more coastal and polished, while the Pacsun Vertical Thorn 6.5" Swim Trunks go a bit darker with a subtle streetwear edge.

Quick Styling Tips
Keep it simple and let the fit do the work.
- Pair shorter swim trunks with an oversized tee and slides for a balanced shape
- Wear longer trunks with a tank and an open short-sleeve shirt
- Keep denim loose enough for summer and style it with low-profile sneakers
- Stick to sun-washed shades, blues, creams, black, and faded greens
- Mix cleaner basics with one patterned piece so the outfit still feels relaxed
- Build around pieces you can wear more than one way
Build Your Summer Lineup
If you’re refreshing your summer closet this summer, start with a couple of swim options, add denim that works past summer, and fill in with basics that make everything easier to wear. You already know your summer lineup is going to look good, so you might as well make choices that look a little better for the Earth too.
