56 Chic Sufer Styles

From Swimwear-Inspired Fashion to Modern Athletic Menswear

— December 9, 2012 — Fashion
Whether channeling a retro inspiration or modernizing traditional streetwear, these chic surfer styles embraces a minimalist style motto. The effortlessly elegant features promote a strong sense of personal style based on individuality and self-expression.

The summery finds are never fussy and over-planned but instead epitomize the true definition of cool. Whether gracing the pages of fashion's top style bibles or walking international runways, these ensembles marry a retro air of cool along with sleek and modern design lines.

From popular culture to the world of high fashion, these chic surfer styles range from effortless cottons to unconventional neoprenes. Never losing its sense of relevance, the surfer dude aesthetic continues to influence a modern generation and reigns as one of today's most popular and important sub-cultures.
