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.
