Description
Men's Express swim trunks in a vibrant solid turquoise blue. Featuring an elasticated waistband with an adjustable white drawstring, two side pockets, and likely a velcro or zip back pocket. Perfect for beach or pool wear with a modern, mid-thigh to above-the-knee length.
Key Features
Vibrant trendy color, adjustable drawstring, well-known mall brand recognition, and lightweight quick-dry fabric.
Authenticity Indicators
Internal heat-pressed tag with 'EXPRESS' branding and size 'M' is consistent with authentic manufacturing. High confidence in authenticity.
Flaws to Note
Significant wrinkling from being on a thrift rack. Potential for minor 'pilling' in the seat area from sitting on concrete/sand which is common in swim trunks.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, eBay, or Mercari. These platforms are excellent for mid-market mall brands. Local sale via Facebook Marketplace is possible but harder for single low-value items.
Selling Tips
Steam or iron on low heat to remove wrinkles before photographing; flat-lay photos sell swim trunks better than hangers. Use keywords like 'Summer', 'Beachwear', 'Vacation', and 'Quick Dry'. Always include the inseam measurement.
