Chappy Swim Trunks

The printed swim short built for the beach, pool and every dock in between.

Story & heritage

Chappy Swim Trunks carry Vineyard Vines’ coastal identity most literally. The official product description says the 7-inch Chappy is built for the beach, pool and beyond, pairing playful prints with practical swim construction.

The line also lets the brand repeat its whale and resort graphics across a product that fits its Martha’s Vineyard origin story: water, sun, docks and easy summer weekends.

Materials & craft

Official copy lists REPREVE® recycled polyester, UPF 50 sun protection, quick-drying and water-repellent fabric, a soft mesh lining, a secure back pocket, an elastic waistband and an exterior drawstring. The page states that each men’s pair upcycles 10 plastic bottles.

How to choose & style

Let the print carry the outfit: pair with a white whale tee or a plain performance polo. The 7-inch length is the modern default; striped or flag-adjacent versions read classic Vineyard Vines, while bolder novelty prints belong on vacation.
