Watersports do not stop when you leave the water, and neither does your kit. Men's lifestyle clothing is what you live in between sessions: the hoodie you pull on after a cold surf, the tee you travel in, the boardshorts that go from the beach to the barbecue. It needs to be comfortable, hard-wearing, and ready for salt, sand, and sun.

Our men's clothing range brings together tees, tops, hoodies, boardshorts, caps, beanies, and casual footwear from brands that know the water, so the clothes you relax in come from the same world as the gear you ride in. Whether you want something light for summer or a warm layer for the drive home, there is a fit and a style here for you.

Not sure what to pick? The guide below covers the range, the fabrics, and how to get the right fit. Browse the full selection below, and take a look at our women's clothing range if you are shopping for the whole crew.

What's in the Men's Clothing Range?

This collection is built around casual, everyday wear for people who spend time around the water. It is not technical riding kit; it is the clothing you wear before and after, and on days off.

You'll find short-sleeve tees and tops, pullover and zip hoodies, boardshorts and swim shorts, caps and beanies, and a selection of casual footwear. The emphasis is on relaxed fits, durable fabrics, and designs rooted in surf, skate, and board culture rather than high-street fashion that falls apart after a season.

Types of Men's Clothing

Different pieces do different jobs, so it helps to think about your wardrobe in layers.

• Tees and tops: everyday staples in cotton or cotton blends, the base of most casual outfits
• Hoodies and sweats: warmth for cooler evenings, the drive home, and layering over a tee
• Boardshorts and swim shorts: quick-drying shorts for the beach, the pool, and summer sessions
• Caps and beanies: sun protection in summer and warmth in winter, plus a finishing touch to any outfit
• Footwear: casual trainers, slip-ons, and sandals for off-water days

Most people build from a few good tees and a reliable hoodie, then add boardshorts and headwear to suit the season.

How to Choose Men's Clothing

The right pieces come down to how and where you'll wear them.

• The season: light tees and boardshorts for summer, hoodies and heavier layers for cooler months
• Your activity: quick-drying boardshorts if you'll be in and out of the water, soft cotton for lounging
• Fit preference: relaxed and roomy, or closer to the body
• Durability: look for solid stitching and quality fabric if the clothing will see hard, salty use

If you are starting from scratch, a couple of tees, a hoodie, and a pair of boardshorts will cover most of what a watersports lifestyle throws at you.

Fabrics and Materials

The fabric decides how a piece feels, how it wears, and how it copes with beach life.

• Cotton: soft and breathable, ideal for tees and everyday wear
• Cotton blends: add durability and a little stretch, holding their shape over time
• Quick-dry synthetics: used in boardshorts to shed water fast and dry in the sun
• Brushed fleece: the warm inner layer of most hoodies and sweats

Salt and sun are hard on clothing, so well-made fabrics and good stitching are worth having if you want pieces that last more than one summer.

Sizing and Fit

Casual clothing is forgiving, but getting the fit right still makes a difference. Tees and tops are usually sized small through to extra large, while boardshorts are often sized by waist measurement. Different brands cut slightly differently, so a medium in one label may feel more like a large in another.

Think about how you like to wear things: a relaxed tee layers easily under a hoodie, while a closer fit looks sharper on its own. For boardshorts, check whether you prefer a shorter or longer leg length, as this varies between styles. When in doubt, check each brand's size guide, and our team in Poole is happy to help you choose.

Layering Around the Water

British weather rarely sits still, so layering is the key to staying comfortable from morning launch to evening pack-down. A breathable tee as a base, a hoodie for warmth, and a cap or beanie to finish will carry you through most days on the coast.

After a session, dry layers matter even more. Pulling on a warm hoodie and a beanie after a cold surf or paddle helps your body recover and keeps the post-session chill at bay. It is the same thinking behind a good changing routine, so pack spare dry clothing alongside your wetsuit whenever you head out.

Caring for Your Clothing

A little care keeps casual clothing looking good for longer.

• Rinse off salt and sand before washing where you can
• Wash on a cool cycle to protect colours and prints
• Turn printed tees and hoodies inside out before washing
• Air dry rather than tumble dry to avoid shrinking and fading
• Store knitwear and hoodies folded to keep their shape

Avoid leaving damp, salty clothing bundled in a bag, as it can hold odours and wear out fabric faster.

How Much Does Men's Clothing Cost?

Prices vary with the type of garment, the fabric, and the brand. Basic tees and caps sit at the lower end of the range, hoodies and boardshorts fall in the middle, and premium pieces with heavier fabrics or technical finishes sit higher. A more expensive item usually means better materials, stronger construction, and a longer life.

For everyday wear around the water, it is often worth choosing quality on the pieces you'll use most, such as a go-to hoodie, while spending less on items you rotate through quickly. You'll find a spread of budgets across the range.
