DCK

Don’t call them swim trunks. They’re “board shorts.”

During a trip to Bali, a few friends noticed that the board shorts there were much better than those in Portugal. They brought a bunch back and printed their own logo on them. Fifteen years later, DCK is the leading brand for men and boys — costing around 50 euros, and your problem is solved for life. There’s also a hemp collection. Like almost every local brand, they have a flagship store in Chiado and are now available in many shopping centers. A female version might be our personal friends of Oy Surf, available online only.
