The Hottest Swimwear Trends For Gay Men
It’s never too early to start planning your summer holiday fashion and that means choosing your swimwear. While putting together holiday outfits can be difficult enough, figuring out what swimwear to don on the beach or by the pool can be an even bigger challenge. Unlike your regular clothes, your swimwear makes a statement about you in as little as under a foot of fabric. Last year’s swimwear trends featured plenty of pastel shades and bright neons. In contrast, this year we can expect to see block colours, old school style trunks, and floral prints amongst the latest swimwear trends.
Block colours
Block-colour swimwear is timeless in design. Whereas it can be tricky to find entire patterns that suit you, it tends to be easier to find whole single shades that work. «Just make sure you pick a shade that suits you and accentuates your colourings, otherwise it can be disastrous for your skin tone», explains celebrity stylist Alex Longmore. «Avoid black at all costs as it doesn’t work in the sunshine and can look unforgiving with so much skin exposed». Paler skin suits darkers shades like navy, burgundy, and emerald green. If you have darker-skin, you can get away with brighter and bolder shades like red, neon green, cobalt blue, and sunshine yellow.
Old school style
Retro-style swimwear can help you make a statement on the beach this summer. Brands like Ellesse, Tommy Hilfiger, and Calvin Klein make a number of stunning pieces in classic styles ranging from swim shorts to board shorts. Retro-style swimwear often comes in a flattering A-line fit with wide leg holes, but just make sure your pair is lined so you preserve your modesty and avoid flashing everyone while sunbathing. Alternatively, if you like a tighter fit, retro-style mid-rise shorts put a modern twist on the old-school style. Mid-rise shorts suit most body types and choosing a pair with adjustable drawstrings means they’ll also nicely accommodate your unique shape.
Floral print
Floral prints are definitely always in style. To choose the most flattering style for your body, scale the size of the floral pattern to your frame. So, smaller frames will suit smaller-sized floral patterns while bigger frames suit bigger and bolder floral designs. Paler skin tones may look better with darker backgrounds to avoid creating a washed out look. Likewise, people with darker skin tones will suit designs with lighter backgrounds to maximise contrast and make an eye-catching statement. Check out botanical designs by Andrew Christian whose stunning designs feature comfy leg openings and slimming waist bands to suit any body type. They also feature comfy, anatomically-correct pouches for extra lift and support, which also basically puts an end to squashing, sticking, sweating and chafing.
Wearing a stylish swimsuit that fits right and suits you is a must for feeling comfortable and confident on holiday. Block colours, retro style, and floral print are some of the latest men’s swimwear trends you can look forward to rocking this summer.
