With so many opportunities to travel to affordable countries with an all-year-round friendly climate, waiting for the summer to hit the beach is a thing of the past. If you’re in love with the seaside, you likely have a myriad of swimming outfits and pay attention to your shopping choices.
Fashion is ever-changing, and mastering trends can be challenging. The expectations for men’s designer swim briefs are high, and for a good reason – they must be quality and withstand the sun, water, sweat, sand, and so on. But when it comes to style and patterns, the choices usually come down to your taste.
Here’s a short but fact-rich guide to the best men’s swimming outfits to get you inspired this year.
The “show-offs”
So you’ve worked hard on your summer body and aren’t willing to compromise on your flex just to blend in. No worries; there are many ways to show the world that your body is your temple and you treat it accordingly.
The “show-off” swim briefs are all about daring cuts and shorter lengths that flaunt your leg in all its glory, as well as excellent fabrics and appropriate colors that flatter your skin tone. If you know what shade suits you or want to avoid clashing prints with friends, block-color swimwear is perfect.
Flowery patterns
While floral prints aren’t exactly breaking news, these patterns are as sought-after as they’ve always been. In part, it is due to the multitude of eye-catching variations on the market and the possibilities to play with the colors and tones. These add a sense of fun to an otherwise dull look, and you don’t have to worry about matching them with your shirts because they’ll go with pretty much any color.
If you want something more subtle, you can opt for moody, dark-botanical prints.
Old-school style
Nostalgic swimwear trends, regardless of their name, have never actually abandoned the trends. Designers have been focusing on taking that priceless James Bond vibe and updating it in men’s swimwear every year.
To maintain the vintage look, old-school men’s swimwear briefs usually come in an A-line shape with side stripes and large openings.
The white stripes
Wearing white stripes is the way to achieve the effortless Parisian cool that grabs passers-by’s attention. Classic nautical-inspired swimwear looks great with a light, flowy shirt and sunglasses.
Swim shorts with vertical stripes are also in style. If you’re looking for a laid-back, cosy look, pair them with flip-flops, a plain T-shirt, and your best-loved accessory, and you’re good to go.
Geometric patterns
Seeking something different from the classic or flowery patterns? Unique and abstract geometric prints are all the rage this year. Finding your favourite swimwear is an exciting adventure because you’re offered so many different choices of dynamic shapes and patterns.
Menswear is in a fascinating place right now. It’s getting more adventurous, colorful, and wild, and rules and dress codes are part of the past. With endless options and styles, what will you focus on this summer – being stylish, comfortable, or flexing your best traits? Or, why not, all of them?
