If you're bored of boring blue Bermudas and
want to sport something a bit snazzier on the beach this year then you’ll need
to invest in some high-quality and trendy beach-wear from the latest collections.
But what are the five essential items for every man’s wardrobe this summer?
Short
Board Shorts
Board shorts have been a popular mens swimwear choice
for years but if you want to update the look then choose a shorter length. This
style works well if you're on the shorter side as more of your leg is exposed,
which has a lengthening effect.
If you've got chunky thighs avoid this look
as the shorts will stop at the thickest part of your thigh, making it look even
thicker.
Retro
Trunks
Thanks to shows like Mad Men, the retro
1960s look is everywhere and retro trunks are very hot for summer 2012. The
fitted 1960s look is perfect for tall, athletic figures. Go for bold and bright
patterns to really make a statement or stick to plain colours for a more subtle
style.
Floral
Prints
Believe it or not, floral prints for men
are big news this season and you can tap into the trend with a pair of floral
shorts. If you don't have the confidence to carry off pastel pinks and baby
blues then go for a monochrome floral print which will look chic and stylish
whether you're sunbathing or hitting the bars.
Acid
Brights
More and more men are saying no to boring
blacks, blues and browns and replacing them with acid brights. Thanks to
another resurgence of the 80s look, acid colours are everywhere. Try electric
blue, shocking pink or sunny yellow if you really want to stand out from the
crowd this summer.
Smart
and Tailored
Thanks to the availability of a host of
great fabrics that dry quickly you can comfortably wear tailored shorts on the
beach. When shorts are tailored they have more structure so they're ideal for
supporting a bit of a paunch and can make your legs look slimmer and longer.
If you've got very long legs then choose a
mid-thigh short, which will balance you out. If you want to look taller, opt
for shorts that stop just below the knee.
Tailored shorts are versatile enough to be
worn on the beach and when you're out and about, and are really easy to dress
up or dress down.
