There is no denying the fact that summer and spring are the superstars of planet Earth’s year. Spring because people just love it after long, cold winters. Summer is truly the king of seasons – a few months when warmth compels many people, especially the young, to slip into scanty beachwear and to spend most of their time outdoors.

When you talk about hitting the beach, you have to follow the dress code, which is all about feeling comfortable and looking casual. Unlike women, men don’t have multifarious options, but you can still find enough options to make a choice. However, it’s crucial to mention that scanty beachwear is still not admired in many parts of the world. If you check the history, it was just fifty years ago when swimming trunks that would reveal gender were not allowed on some of the world’s best beaches. At that time, men showing their groins were not considered decent, just like women who would wear French bikinis.

Fast forward to 2011 and you could see all sorts of designs and options being considered by men. It is true that in the year 2012 you may have already seen some prudishness hitting back, as you can find blokes in boardshorts that not only hide their thighs and sometimes knees as well. However, it doesn’t matter how concerned you really are about being prudish, you should always consider a few important points while selecting men’s beachwear.

Comfort:

The first thing is to ensure that you opt for something that is comfortable and is not too tight as it would stop your blood circulation. At the same time, you should avoid getting something with a very loose fit because you may lose it in the water.

Designs:

In terms of designs, you will have quite a few options and selecting anything would depend upon your personal preferences and rules of the beach you’re planning to hit. You can opt for something that would cover all the top part of your body. Alternatively, you can select slips or trunks; however, you should avoid trunks if you’re interested in hard swimming.

Body Type:

Consider your body type before you opt for anything from the collection of men’s swimwear. For those who don’t look too great, a one-piece swimsuit may be the best choice, not only because it makes you feel comfortable but also because it saves you from hiding your belly with the towel. Moreover, you can use boxers’ swimwear to look a bit athletic and hide that cellulite – avoid blacks though.

If you are short and athletic, then opting for the brief style is the right bet. Here, you should choose a high leg cut, as this will make your legs look longer. And if you are tall but thin, using baggy shorts will do the trick.

Keep these points in mind and try to use the internet to shop from an extensive collection of designer men’s swimwear. But if you are interested in using this option, make sure you know your precise measurements.
