Today's Sharpest Swim Trunks Look a Lot Like Paul Newman's 1960s Summer Style
Today's suavest swim trunks appear to have backstroked into stores from the 1960s.
With a narrow, mid-thigh, midcentury cut, these throwbacks are as neat as the whiskey sipped by Don Draper. Most boast discreet snap buttons and adjustable side tabs (much tidier than drawstrings). Lean stripes often race down sides.

Hurry: 32 Last-Minute Father's Day Gift Ideas That'll Arrive By Sunday
Father's Day is this Sunday—but there's still time to show Dad how much he means to you. We found tons of exciting (and thoughtful) gifts guaranteed to arrive by June 15, from Amazon Prime-eligible items to subscription boxes you can order same-day. Our top last-minute Father's Day gift ideas include a supportive pair of Brooks Glycerin 22 Running Shoes, Loop's versatile silicone earplugs to muffle unwanted sounds and our favorite noise-canceling wireless headphones from Bose—but order them now so he'll get them on time. Crunched for time? These last-minute Father's Day gifts will ship ASAP but are still meaningful. When selecting a last-minute gift, consider your dad's interests, splurge-worthy items and those he wouldn't think to buy for himself—and make sure there's overnight or one-day shipping available. For example, foodies will appreciate Harry & David's Summer Grilling Gift Box (which you need to order today so it ships overnight), while avid birders will get plenty of use from Birdsnap's Smart Bird Feeder (which will arrive by Sunday if you're a Prime member). So hurry: Check out our favorite last-minute Father's Day gifts and find the perfect one that you can add to card today. And for more last-minute gifts, we also curated the best Father's Day gifts and the best subscription boxes for dads. Amazon Whether Dad prefers walking or running, this supportive sneaker will help propel him forward and keep his feet well-positioned as he moves. My brother and I gifted my dad a pair of supportive sneakers for Father's Day last year, and he uses them every day. (The Glycerin 22 shoes are also a top pick in our guide to the best men's running shoes.) Amazon Forbes Vetted supervising deals and coupons editor, Kara Cuzzone, recommends the Aura Digital Picture Frame, which displays photos and videos directly from your phone. 'It's really easy to set up, and the whole family can add pictures to it via an app, so you can share old memories and new pictures even if you're not together physically. Plus, the picture quality is super crisp,' says Cuzzone. Amazon This wireless meat thermometer ensures Dad's favorite BBQ won't be over- or undercooked and is incredibly easy to use. The set includes two color-coded probes with individual sensors (four different sensors total, including three internal and one ambient temperature sensor) and a 'booster' that displays the temperatures on a bright LCD screen, making it easy to monitor the cooking process. The device connects via Bluetooth, and the app sends alerts, estimated cooking times and more. Amazon Help Dad whip up delicious breakfast sandwiches with this fun device from Hamilton Beach. All he has to do is layer his favorite bread on the top and bottom with an egg (plus other ingredients and toppings) and wait for the countdown timer to alert him that it's ready. Amazon This digital watch by Casio has a cool, retro look, and the smooth resin band feels light and comfortable on the wrist. It's a stylish accessory for work, golf outings, lunch with friends and more. Plus, it has a 20-bar water resistance rating and can withstand sudden impacts (like being dropped) without damage. Amazon Whether Dad is a workout enthusiast or could benefit from a targeted massage to help him relax, the TheraGun Therabody Mini is a practical gift that he's sure to use often. It comes with three attachments, and its portable size makes it easy to throw in a gym bag or luggage. Amazon If he's a coffee (or tea) drinker, the Ember mug will ensure his cup of joe is never cold. It provides up to 80 minutes of heat—or all-day warmth when placed on the charging coaster—and has an auto sleep feature and handy LED indicator lights that alert you when your drink is at the desired temperature. Amazon Recommended by our home editors as one of the best fire pits on the market after several rounds of testing, the Breeo Smokeless 24-Inch Fire Pit is great if Dad loves entertaining or spending time outside. The smoke-free fire provides warmth without any lingering odors. Amazon I bought my dad a Yeti travel mug two years ago, and he talks about it every time I come home to visit. The mug's base fits perfectly into cupholders, so he can bring it with him when he's running errands, and the leak-resistant lid prevents the contents from sloshing out. My dad also loves that it's dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Amazon If Dad is a fan of aviator-style sunglasses, there's no better gift than a pair from American Optical, the iconic brand that designed the first pair for the U.S. military 90 years ago. These durable, timeless specs are made to military specifications, which includes impact-resistance and 100% UVA/UVB protection. Goldbelly New York City has a vibrant food scene, and this creative gift box (it serves 8 to 12 people) contains some of the city's most iconic dishes. Highlights include a pastrami sandwich kit from Eli Zabar, a coal-fired pizza from John's of Bleecker Street, an assortment of pre-baked bagels from Zucker's and a cheesecake from Junior's. Harry & David This well-organized box of savory spices and sauces will help Dad whip up delicious meals throughout the summer. The bundle by Harry & David contains four different sauces and a bold Peppercorn spice rub, and it's available to ship now (last-minute gifters might want to bookmark this option). Amazon Add a little flavor to his food with this fiery trio of Hot Ones hot sauces and a heat guide so he can work his way up to more intense varieties. The varying flavors and heat levels—from the milder Classic to the intense The Last Dab XPerience—will keep things interesting. All that's missing are crispy chicken wings. Amazon Dad can use this collection of savory sauces in several different ways: drizzle them over dumplings, use them as a marinade, stir them into noodle dishes or use them as a dipping sauce for crispy fried chicken. The possibilities are endless, and there are three flavors to experiment with (spicy sweet soy, ginger soy and Sichuan sesame soy). Crowd Cow Updates writer Fran Sales gifted a Crowd Cow surf-and-turf bundle to her dad (a true carnivore who's been trying to eat more healthily), and she says the whole thing was a hit—not just with Dad, but with the entire family. The key to the brand's fresh, delicious offerings are its partners: ethical farms, fisheries and producers, which ensure you receive only the highest-quality products, whether that's pasture-raised beef or free-range organic chicken. Your dad can redeem this gift card on the Crowd Cow website. Amazon If he spends a lot of time in the backyard, this smart bird feeder by Birdsnap is packed with cool features to level up his birdwatching. It uses AI to identify bird species, and the high-definition, wide-angle camera captures birds in real time, even at night. Ticketmaster If your dad is hard to shop for, consider a Ticketmaster gift card so that he can choose from thousands of events ranging from concerts to sporting events to comedy shows. 'I got my dad US Open tickets last year, and they were a big hit,' says Cuzzone. 'He's a huge tennis fan but had never been to the Open, so I got tickets for us to go together, and he hasn't stopped talking about it since.' Amazon This traditional Japanese watercolor set is a winning gift if he's creative or just looking to pick up a new hobby. 'I bought this paint set for my dad last year, and he loved it,' says Thomas. 'The colors are rich, and come in a beautiful package, so you don't need extra wrapping if you're running out of time and have to send it directly.' Uncommon Goods 'One of my dad's favorite gifts I've ever gotten him is this custom viewfinder,' says Forbes Vetted updates writer Claire Epting. 'It's delightfully nostalgic, and the personalization process was straightforward and fun.' It comes with a unique code to redeem your customized photo reel online. Epting advises ordering it in advance to ensure the viewfinder and the photo reel arrive in time for Father's Day. fossil Our top bifold pick in our guide to the best wallets for men, this compact and well-organized wallet makes an excellent gift that Dad will use daily. 'The material is flexible and smooth to the touch, while the stitching around the edge of the wallet prevents loose strings from sticking out,' says our tester, Forbes Vetted content strategy analyst Luke Frangis. Universal Yums If Dad has an adventurous palate, this subscription box offers popular snacks from different countries, including South Korea, Greece, Pakistan and more. 'I got my stepdad a subscription to Universal Yums a few years back, and he still talks about some of the snacks he discovered. It's extremely last-minute friendly and just a fun way to try something new every month,' says Jordan Thomas, assistant deals editor at Forbes Vetted. Atlas Coffee If Dad starts each day with a cup of coffee, treat him to this customizable Atlas Coffee Club subscription. You can select the coffee type (ground, whole bean or pods), brew method, roast preference and number of bags per shipment. Bespoke Post If you're not sure what to get the father figure in your life, go for a subscription box from Bespoke Post, which caters to various interests and hobbies, from mixology to clothing. It earned the top spot in our guide to the best subscription boxes for men, and we like that it highlights goods from small businesses and lesser-known brands. MasterClass Whether interested in honing his writing skills or learning more about the business world, MasterClass offers a wide range of sessions to help the father figure in your life learn and grow. Classes from entrepreneurs and experts like Mark Cuban and Stephen Curry are added monthly, and he can watch on his TV or phone instantly. Amazon These multi-use earplugs are crafted from flexible silicone (they come with four ear tip sizes so Dad can find the best fit) to muffle unwanted noises and help him sleep, relax or focus on work. The portable case is also easy to slip into a backpack or pocket so he can bring these on the go. Amazon Whether he's trying to drown out sounds on his morning commute or zen out after a long day at the office, these wireless noise-cancelling headphones by Bose are an excellent gift. They have 24 hours of battery life, rich audio quality and plush ear cups that feel comfortable even after hours of wear. (After our extensive testing, they were rated the best wireless headphones overall.) Amazon Last year, I bought this Amazon Fire TV streaming stick for my dad (an avid movie watcher), and he absolutely loves it. It's easy to install and navigate between apps, and the picture quality is crisp and clear. Amazon Kiehl's is a top-rated skincare brand known for its gentle yet effective formulas, and we appreciate this giftable set that includes two essential products for all skin types. The gel face wash cleanses without stripping skin, and the moisturizer contains vitamin C, which can improve Dad's skin tone and texture over time. Amazon Help Dad unwind after a long day with these hydrating eye masks. Standout ingredients include caffeine, which increases circulation and can reduce puffiness, niacinamide and green tea. Amazon Shaving cream is an essential that Dad will use regularly. This 2-pack is formulated without fragrance and includes hydrating (and soothing!) ingredients such as colloidal oatmeal, shea butter and aloe leaf juice. Amazon If Dad is big into self-care, he may have heard of hygge, the term for a unique aspect of Danish culture that means the feeling of contentment you get from absolute comfort. These slip-ons from Danish brand Glerups, which are made from 100% wool from both New Zealand and Denmark, embody this concept to the fullest, thanks to the comfy but breathable uppers, foot-shaped design and sturdy rubber soles. Updates writer Sales gifted this to a friend a few years ago, and he ended up wearing them both indoors and out (and she borrowed them frequently, too). Cozy Earth My Dad is always looking for comfortable garments that he can wear to work and on the weekends, and I plan on gifting him these pants for Father's Day. The nylon-spandex blend is both stretchy and soft, and it comes in three lengths to ensure the best fit. If you're ordering from Amazon, the color Eclipse arrives before Father's Day, but Jet Black takes a bit longer to ship.

Rimless Glasses Used to Give ‘Grandpa' Vibes. Are They Now Cool?
Josh Calihan, 37, wanted to give his face a break. The Chicago-based personal shopper owned plenty of chunky, heavy glasses but craved something lighter. Then, last fall, he spotted the newish M3104-B glasses by Tokyo brand Matsuda. The specs feature striking hexagonal lenses, brushed-gold titanium arms with delicate filigree—and no rims. In the past, rimless glasses 'kind of gave me 'grandpa,'' said Calihan. But Matsuda, he argued, has 'taken something that would normally be considered very conservative and put their touch on it. The little details make it special.' At once fresh and relatively classic—not to mention light—they have become his go-tos.
