Men's swimwear: types and tips for choosing

One-piece one-piece swimsuit on a strong male figure looks unusual and even strange. A rare macho on the eve of the beach season is puzzled by the thought of purchasing a bathing suit. Ordinary swimming trunks seem reasonable and, oddly, the only choice. But men's swimwear is not only a piece with a respectable history. It is also a fashionable, interesting and modern piece of clothing in which no man will remain unnoticed.

There was a time when men swam naked. This trend has been replaced by swimming in underwear. For several centuries this was considered normal and natural. The first men's swimwear appeared in the 18th century. They were woolen, completely closed, consisting of trousers and a long-sleeved shirt. In the twenties of the last century, uncomfortable woolen swimming suits were replaced by knitted striped models. Simultaneously with the change in color, the length of the trousers decreased, and men proudly appeared in striped swimsuits, with a luxurious mustache and a "wheel" chest. This is how their images were preserved in archival photographs.

Swimming trunks quickly replaced striped suits already in the middle of the last century. Initially, they were sewn from woolen fabric and equipped with powerful belts at the waist so that an important piece of clothing would not fall off at a crucial moment when a man comes out of the water. Since then, mainly swimming trunks have evolved. Swimwear migrated to another fashion - sports, artistic, shocking. But from time to time on the beaches you can meet representatives of the strong half of humanity in a one-piece swimsuit. True, each such meeting turns into a real local event.

Swimwear for men comes in several styles. Sports have found their niche in weightlifting, artistic gymnastics. In water sports, swimmers prefer swimming trunks. For the beach and other purposes, there are such options.

• Slips - triangular bottoms with side seams.
• Shorts - an elongated model of underpants.
• Wide drawstring shorts - these are made from fabric that dries quickly.
• Thongs are very small and tight panties, which only a few people decide to wear.

Swimwear in the full sense of the word is presented:

• solid - they resemble sports, only the lower part is made not by shorts, but by swimming trunks,
• monokini - panties with one long shoulder strap,
• mankini - panties with two straps,
• monokini thongs - swimming trunks are not only equipped with straps, but also differ in minimalism,
• retro - suits, very similar to the striped ones of a century ago.

Having omitted the standard swimming trunks, we will discuss the swimwear in more detail.

A bathing suit on a mighty male figure looks organic when it comes to the figure of a wrestler or champion in artistic gymnastics. These bodysuits are quite expensive and are sold in specialized sports stores. However, a swimsuit on a wrestler does not surprise anyone.
