How do color-changing swim trunks work?
Swimming trunks that change color are not powered by advanced science. There are special microcapsules that are temperature chromic materials. What this means is that if the temperature shifts to a much colder one (Such as jumping into the water or a pool), then the fabric will change its color.
Once the color-changing swim shorts or swim trunks get warm again, then they will revert back to the original color. These swim shorts that change color does not do so because of the water, they change color because of the temperature decrease from the water. That means if the water is warm, such as in a jacuzzi they won’t change color. If you hop out of the ocean in your personal paradise, the swim trunks that change color will do so and revert back to the primary color of the trunks.

What are water-reactive swim trunks?
Color-changing swim trunks change the actual color of the trunks based on the heat differential. Water-reactive swim trunks are a different beast altogether. These are for someone who is looking to expand their repertoire of men’s swim trunks, without wanting something as bold as swim trunks that change color. Here it’s all about subtlety over a different design for each day of the week.
These are perfect for those that want a bit of a random pop to their swim trunks, without looking as if you switched out your swim trunks while jumping into the water, due to the changing color swim trunks. These water-reactive swim trunks have a muted pattern that can be revealed with contact through the water. These will usually reveal a beautiful pattern to the parts of the swim trunks that are covered in water.
Since these are a lot more muted than swim trunks that change color, these are almost perfect for every type of setting. Whether you’re wind sailing in Southeast Asia or are hosting a party on a yacht, they are a fantastic option.
They lean towards a more refined palette and taste for men’s color-changing swim trunks, as these water-reactive swim trunks are about revealing a stylized pattern, that can be a simple white or a darker shade of the primary swim trunk color. This means there’s more of a uniformity to these types of swim trunks versus their color-changing swim trunks cousin.

This time around, it’s all about the water. That means the temperature plays no part.
