Men's Swimwear
By Princessa
Women are very lucky to have an amazing choice of classic, vintage, demure or sexy swimwear. No matter what shape we are, we can always find the prefect swimsuit to enhance our silhouette. Men, on the other hand, are not that lucky. Most choices of swimwear are either boring or edging on the ridiculous and there are not many designs to disguise weak areas and enhance stronger areas of their body.
Sometimes however, the choice of swimwear is not only based on body shape or personal preferences. For example, for some unexplained reason, in France men are obliged to wear Speedo briefs to be allowed into the public swimming pools. I mean, I can wear a Mu-Mu or my tiniest, barely there bikini and no one objects, but if my husband comes with me wearing shorts for swimming then he won’t be allowed in the pool… crazy? As a matter of fact he thinks it is a vendetta against him and is only made up so that French ladies can delight themselves with his body! I have asked several times the reasons for this “pool legislation” but no one has been able to give me a valid reason yet. So every Summer I am faced with the same problem, what swimwear to buy for my man?

How to choose men’s swimwear:
- For the tall and athletic, anything will do. Just choose a nice colour to match skin tone.
- For the short and athletic, usually the Speedo brief style will do the trick. Go for a high leg cut to make legs look longer and a low waist band to show off those abs. Avoid long and extra long shorts.
- For the tall and thin, baggy shorts are best. Make sure you don’t overdo the “bagginess”
- For the tall and big, long shorts in one solid colour will look best. If you want patterned swimwear, choose small patterns and keep the colours down.
- G-strings for men are for private events or shows. I had a friend who made a birthday party for her young husband –a young chubby milk white boy- The party was at the height of summer so it was done around the pool. When the moment came to bring his birthday cake, she did so along with his tiny present a “bright coloured g-string” of course everybody cheered him to wear it and he did, blinding us all with his milk-white flabby bottom cheeks! Please do not do that to your man.
- G-strings are never a good idea for men, I have seen them on the beach on the most athletic yummy bodies, and NO, they don’t work. You are wondering all the time whether he is gay or not!
- Regular swimwear shorts in solid colours or small prints are perfect for older men who do not want to draw attention to themselves.
- Choose utilitarian swimwear. I mean swimming trunks for the swimmers, shorts for the volleyball or football players.
- Bermuda shorts which finish a few inches above the knee and fall between a tight fit and a baggy fit are great covers for most imperfections.
- Tall men who are within their weight range can wear patterns: big, small, colourful, most patterns will work.
- For those with small “equipment” to fill in their bikini, but who still want to show off their assets, why not try “Male enhanced swimwear”. They are just like women’s Wonderbra but for men.

Because they talk less than women, so we girls can actually talk all we want. Because they are not complicated. Because most men are logical, so they are easy to figure out. Because they warm...

yes, I like sexy swimwear, girls surprise at mine
Brian: did you know that you can buy Borat's mankini including a faux moustache?
adv05: so which one did you chose?
(enters stage left) Oh...Hi, Princessa! I just came by to get a closer look at your avatar. It's still not big enough. They should have avatars bigger, don't you think? Anyway, yours is the only hot body around here...guess I'll be moving along...(exits stage right)
G'day Princessa, I'm more of a board shorts type of guy.
and just a small piece of trivia . Speedo originally was an Australian company and their briefs are often referred to as "budgie smugglers"
I can't for the life of me think why ? ;-)
Great looking men in excellent swimwear! Princessa,thanks for the good tips in men's swimwear.
Oh Princessa! sexy swimwear.... it's fantastic. You made swimming more interesting and funny, isn't it?
G-String is so sexy
I enjoyed this one woahhh.My fingers drove me to click this link LMAO
I believe that YOU are Great !
Very nice hub princessa. It was a fun one to look at.
Thanks for all your comments guys, I am glad you enjoyed it :)
The classic board shorts always work for me.
absolutly great!! http://tiny.cc/yYzH3
Camping Dan: yep, classic always works best. I cannot see many men venturing to wear a mankini... thank goodness!
thanks angel !
I wear the surfer, boxer type on the beach, but not the tight boxer type. I really don't understand how guys can wear that, they are so uncomfortable, and besides, its nasty when everything is just hanging out like that. And gosh, who had the idea that man shoud wear thongs?
Csanad: A male thong must be one of the most ridiculous items of clothing; but I guess some people finds them sexy @_@
i like all kinds of underwear that show package
Travis: what about the “Male enhanced swimwear”, that will show off an enhanced package ;-)
Boardahorts do make a short athletic guy look shorter. I perfer to wear speedos (and do when lap swimming) but often cave and wear the boardshorts, otherwise.
Barracuda: That's right, the best cut for a short an athletic guy is a speedo as they elongate the legs and enhance the whole body. Thanks for stopping to comment.
Well .... I like sexy swimwear ..... thanks...
Sexy pictures.
Adorable males, sexy bodies. What a great morning. Thank you for that fun! Lizzy
Wow what a nice hub.Great body with a nice collections of men's swimwear.Thanks........
haha i love that Borat's mankini. Will never wear it tho :-)
I completely burst out in tears laughing at Borat's bikini. Wow. Don't forget the sunglasses gentlemen- they are your best accessory when your in swimwear!
Borat's or suit and tie? Anything and everything qualifies as swimwear, i don't change before a swim, check my hub at:
Man enhanced swimwear? Really? I guess if us ladies can wear the padded, push up tops then why not men too. Just never heard of them. Enjoyed this hub... especially the pics.
Hi long time no see my dear Princesa! Great Hub here perfect for summer, pretty unique since most would rather make about swimsuits and bikinis. Nyahahaha the Borat's would certainly make someone a clown.
GeneralHowitzer: Glad to see you visiting and liking what you see here :-)
Missi Darnell: that is what I call equal opportunities!
wetskirt: that's new!
Tracy Monroy: Yes, a good pair of sunglasses can make all the difference to a man's look.
I like guys in surf shorts, not nut huggers... just saying...
~ Jessica and Kacie.
2 halfs = a whole: LOL that's cool...
Sexy!
I love your hubs Princessa. This one cracked me up a bit!
Please! Hands down! guys in designer swimwear is so much better!
I can never understand mens swimwear. I don't know but they're just plain briefs..

Personally, if the men are build like this. I would prefer they wear exactly what Michelangelo's David is wearing.
http://hubpages.com/slide/swimsuits-for-men-swim-t
Of course, I and my girlfriends will still be wearing our suits.
73% want Speedos. I wonder if it is mostly women? I know I love them and I love it when I can see some reactions that make them even tighter, you know, when something may rise to the occasion.
nice eye candy here, Princessa. I prefer the boards look in real life, but I must say, if I saw the guy in yellow on the beach, it would be a beautiful moment!
"For example, for some unexplained reason, in France men are obliged to wear Speedo briefs to be allowed into the public swimming pools."
Princessa, there is a well known public health explanation for this rule, and you should know that if you are from France.
There is another unintended but important benefit to this rule. Men are less likely to be coerced and bullied into wearing the long swim pants that men are virtually forced to wear here in the US. Next to visiting Paris, this is why I hope to one day travel to France.
Hi, Princessa, Yeah i prefer board shorts as well same as agvulpes, I always find speedo types of men's swimwear cause me a lot of chaffing. :)
Daringest: the thing is that rules change from town to town and the explanations provided are sometimes ridiculous.
Great Hub as always. Being a surfer I think I am going to stick with baggies ;-) Call me modest.
Super-Duper site! I am loving it!!
some are very vulgar to me... borat's mankini is very funny :))
You actually make it appear so easy with your presentation however I find this matter to be really one thing which I believe I might by no means understand. It sort of feels too complex and very wide for me. I am having a look ahead on your next post, I'll attempt to get the hold of it!
I wish speedos on men were more socially acceptable. If women wear swimwear next to their skin, why cannot men? Speedos briefs provide less drag of air and water, less chafing, dry a lot faster. Why the aversion to the male form?
lol it would take a serious dude to pull of some of these looks. hey maybe if these scandalously clad man bikinis were more popular then men would experience the same anxieties women do when swim wear shopping lol.. how many many wonder how there butt's look before buying their board shorts??
Borat's mankini
