You might be thinking that men’s swimwear doesn’t change much from year-to-year. It’s either shorts, trunks, or briefs, right?
To some extent, that’s true – we’re probably not going to see guys hitting the beach in neck-to-knee bodysuits in some sort of Victorian-era throwback, but if you’re paying close attention to what men are wearing then you’ll appreciate that trends and fashion have an impact.
Demonstrating some of the latest trends on offer, we paired the body of Marcus Aaronwith the camera of Armando Adajar– we wanted to see the Hunk2 swim wear rangefrom every angle.
Here’s what you should be looking out for this season.
Embrace the technology and face the elements
One of the key drivers of the development of men’s swimwear has been the changing technology available to designers and manufacturers. New fabrics and materials have enabled swimwear brands to create products that are more durable than ever before. These enhanced fabrics enable the creation of swimwear that holds it shape, and is able to withstand the harsh elements of the beach, as well as the corrosive effects of swimming-pool chlorine.
You’ll see these technology enhancements across all of the different styles in the Hunk2 swimwear range – from the snug waist-band of our swim-shorts, to the retro stylings of our swim-trunk, and the cord-free support of our swim-briefs – these designs are only possible with the technological advancements that have been made in recent years.
Design is more than just functional – your swimwear should be as innovative as you
With every new season, you’ll see swimwear designers testing and trying subtle variations on the classic themes that define what men wear in the water.
For example, this season at Hunk2 we’ve introduced our new reversible designs. Designing a piece of clothing that can be worn in multiple ways is a bit of a challenge, but we’re really pleased with the results. When you put your mind to creating something a bit special, anything is possible.
Available in both our swim-trunks and swim-briefs styles, the reversible functionality of our swimwear gives you the choice of rocking out in our bold South American inspired wildlife patterns, or making a simple statement in block colour. Swimwear to suit your mood and the occasion – that’s clever design.
You don’t have to be a swimwear model to be bang on trend
When it comes to men’s swimwear, the other trend that’s worth keeping an eye on is fashion. Fashion draws its influences from all sorts of different reference points – from the haute couture runways, to film, music, and pop culture.
The influence of fashion trends is not only seen in the patterns and colours that feature on men’s swimwear each season, but also in how daring or revealing the cut and shape of the swimwear might be. For example, a more fluid understanding of masculinity has given a lot of men the freedom and confidence to hit the beach in a sexy swim-brief – in the past, swim-briefs were generally only worn by gay guys and Europeans.
The fashion trend that we’ve embraced this season is bright bold colours, and vivid patterns. Our swimwear features stunning South American wilderness designs that are alive with vibrant colours and a sense of fun – exactly what we feel men’s swimwear is all about. Are you ready to embrace the latest trends and update your swimwear options? Check out our online store to find something that suits your style.
10Eleven has some great gear. They just released a new activewear collection. It consists of shirts, tanks, leggings and more. Check out the entire collection.
SkinFit is becoming one of my favorite gear shops. Their spandex gear is AMAZING and sexy as hell. Plus, one off the big bonus for skin fit is you aren’t limited to colors. You can choose one of over 20 spandex colors, so it can match your personality. You want a pink singlet, you got it!
Let’s talk about this singlet, since it’s Fetish Friday. Singlets are my all time fav gear. I have loved them since I was in my teens, even before I owned one. This low cut singlet from SkinFit is pretty darn sexy. Mix that the back, it will really flatter your body.
Spandex gear is making a big return in runners and singlets. Guys aren’t being so self conscious and are rocking gear they feel great in. Everyone I have known who has bought SkinFit recommend it. I haven’t yet but I plan on getting some of their gear.

A TBT video from Timoteo from 2015
TIMOTEO – MAGNITUDE COLLECTION Model: Bruin Collinsworth Photo: Timoteo Designed in Los Angeles Made in USA
We have been working with RSH Photography for a few years. This is Ozzie from 2015. We def love his work. We hope to have more from him soon.
Name
Hunter!!!
How did you discover your love of underwear, swim briefs, spandex and gear ?
Hmmmm. Well I would say it was walking around the isles of Walmart as like a preteen and seeing the hot guys in jockstraps on the boxes in the sports isles. Their butts looked amazing and they just looked so perfect! So my obsession started from there and only continued with a love of speedos, thongs, skimpy briefs.
What are you favorite styles to wear?
When I wanna feel sexy jock or thong. On a normal day at work or family friendly I vote for like a bikini brief.
Why did you first start posting pics in underwear?
Well I had always been super skinny and unhappy with my body so when I started working out more and putting on size I started feeling more comfortable with who I was and wanted to be a little freer with my body.
Do you friends know about your IG and live if undies?
Oh yeah! They know I have like a hundred pairs and they always comment stupid shit on my Instagram! Haha
What have been some of the positive things that have happened since you started posting ? Did you have any negative experiences?
Well lots of people have reached out and asked about fitness and putting on muscle and gaining weight. I hate playing the, it’s tough to be skinny, but for some people being skinny isn’t a blessing when you aren’t happy with your body. So I’m glad that I can offer advice or encouragement to people in a situation that was similar to mine!
A few negative comments but it’s just people trolling or ones who have too much time on their hands. So I try not to pay attention!
No matter the body type there are always people who will criticize you that you’re too big, too small, too young, too old, how do you deal with those?
Just knowing that certain people will always find faults in others, helps me get through like negative comments. It’s not me that they are dissatisfied with, its themselves.
One thing I have discovered is guys into underwear tend to be awesome guys. Have you made any friends that you may not have met otherwise?
I have meet quiet a few people on Instagram and in my real life who share my obsession. It’s a funny thing to connect about, but it’s nice to know that if one of them ever see a sale or a good deal on some thongs/jocks they think of me!!!
what is your favorite color of Underwear?
Blue or pink! My two favorite colors!!
Lastly, What is your favorite social media to post on? And what is your name on there?

Twitter- HunterDeanXL
My favorite one is definitely Instagram! Love seeing people and being somewhat connected to people through their images

Ergowear has something new! The new X4D Exquisite Dimension. I’m super excited about this new line from one of the best pouch makers in the world of men’s underwear.
Do real men wear pink? This is a conversation I have had a few times over the last few months. It has been on both the brand and the consumer side. Some agree that guys can wear pink, while others say that it’s not masculine.
I love the color pink. I have pink shirts, undies and more. Heck, I even have pink swimwear. Wearing a pink shirt and undies is the ultimate for me. It makes me feel awesome to wear this combo. No one else knows that I have on under my pants.
In my nonscientific research, you guys feel the same way I do about pink. It’s a color that no one who is a regular reader has an issue wearing. This spans across all sexual orientations and ages. When we post something pink, it gets a ton of interest and likes.
Pink isn’t Masculine! Is something people say but I disagree, no color is masc or fem. Many years ago, pink was used for a boy instead of blue. I am a firm believer you wear whatever makes you feel good: pink, blue, red, paisley, stripes, lace, or more. If anyone gives you grief about it, say “BYE!” We have enough in the world to worry about than the color of underwear they are wearing.
Pink comes in underwear, swimwear, and even fetishwear. It is a colo that is in everything we cover. We want to know what you think, do you wear pink? Take our survey and let us know
CELLBLOCK 13 MODERN CLASSIC TIGHT END SPORTS JOCKS – NEW COLORS!
As you know, we launched Cellblock 13’s all new and improved modern day sports jocks back in March and they were an immediate hit so it was no surprise that Cellblock 13 is back with two new colors of these awesome jockstraps.
Inspired by the classic sports jocks of yesteryear with a respectful nod to the Bike #10 now in nine awesome colors: black, white, royal-blue, gold, red, orange, military-green and now a sexy steel-grey and navy-blue.
These jocks have everything you want in a sports jock and more. With a tough and masculine 3 inch wide waistband complete with traditional micro sports striping and as expected, a woven mesh pouch and because this one’s made of a nylon, cotton and spandex blend, it’s a bit softer to the touch than its predecessors. It’s also slightly contoured to ensure a better fit and sturdy enough to keep things in place during a rigorous workout. Finally, solid one inch elastic leg straps not only frame your ass but ensure everything stays in place.
Don’t be misled by the name – whether you’re a fullback, quarterback or line back, this jock will make you happy but if you’re a tight end then you’ll have your teammates lining up for a chance at your end zone.
Love sexy and fun undies? If you said yes the you need to check out the latest from Pikante! Check them out.
Deadgoodundies’ customers know what they want and how to wear it – especially when it comes to low rise men’s underwear. The low cut look can be very flattering and designer collections much loved at DGU are delivering the goods in male briefs, strings and tangas, in both underwear and swimwear.
Brands like Joe Snyder (https://www.deadgoodundies.com/mens-underwear/shop-by-brand/joe-snyder) and Modus Vivendi (https://www.deadgoodundies.com/brands/modus-vivendi) are the go-to names for ultra low set undies and swimmers, though there are also low-fitting shapes from Olaf Benz, Manstore, HOM, Doreanse and others.
Perfecting your personal low rise look and fit might take a little experimentation, according to DGU expert Adam Davies: “If you already know the sizing and fit of a particular brand, go for it. Your body shape and the width and positioning of side straps will influence the best choice. Do you want enhancement up front – maybe even ultra boost? Will your briefs or boxers, under clothes or on the beach, stay put in a horizontal position or angled to a V shape?
“And how low WILL you go…?” Adam asks… “Depending on how well you are endowed and groomed down below, you need sufficient cover and support to look good – without a thatched roof!”
Modus Vivendi Body Building Swim Tanga Brief £34.00
Now in NINE colours their low rise beach slip is the latest example of the Greek brand’s perfection of this style and fit. In glistening fabric, their luxury design is finished with a shiny MV signature disc.
Manstore M909 Swim Low Rise Brief £29.00
Prepare for plenty of attention in some of the brightest men’s swimwear online at Deadgoodundies this season. From a choice of tiny swimmers in Citro (yellow) or Poppy (orange)in the M909 collection.
Modus Vivendi Eggs Tanga Brief £19.50
Get horizontal in stretch cotton in gorgeous colours from Modus Vivendi men’s underwear range. With a 2.5cm branded waistband, the wording should sit in a straight line… Comes in unusual packaging that could double as a Christmas bauble.
Olaf Benz Pearl 1858 Rio Tanga £30.00
You kind of need to feel this one to understand why DGU customers have given it five stars – and when they buy one colour, they buy the other too… Olaf Benz Pearl designs are luxurious, extra special, occasion underwear for men. In this case in a silky filigree fabric in champagne or black, also in a Mini Pant boxer brief.
Joe Snyder Polyester Collection Cheek Boxer 13 £13.00
Not just this one, but the full array of Joe Snyder Polyester Collection men’s underwear has a sexy low rise fit that’s hard to beat. In black or five bright shades, this shape is low below the belly button and higher cut either side of the pouch and across bum cheeks.
Joe Snyder Line Blue Bulge 02 Tanga Thong £24.00
Go for it – and then some – in this super enhancing men’s underwear string that delightfully doubles as swimwear. Looks like cotton but feels like silk in summery marl and ‘lengthening’ stripes!
In the world of fitness modelling, one of the big names and in-demand bodies is Philip Fusco.
Fusco grew up in New York City, getting his start in the modelling world as a teenager when he was discovered on MySpace. Now, in his 30s, it’s clear that the camera still loves every inch of Philip Fusco.
In this shoot – by photographer Armando Adajar – Fusco is showcasing our Hunk2 swimwear range.We love the way that he’s able to subtly show off the reversible design of the swimwear – it’s a feature that we’re really proud of, and you can see why these bold colours and patterns are going to turn heads wherever you wear them.
After the photo-shoot was done and dusted, we took the opportunity to ask Fusco about life, swimwear, and hot tips for the summer.
Swimwear styles
“I go for shorts, not the briefs…” explains Fusco, when I ask which style of swimwear he prefers. “My favorite style is the shorts that come to just above the knee – stopping at the meaty part of the leg.”
Swim-shorts are generally the preferred option for guys from North America, however on the beaches of Europe you’ll generally see guys of all shapes, sizes, and sexualities embracing the swim-brief. So, as well as personal preference, your choice of swimwear is likely to be influenced by your vacation destination.
“My number-one destination is the Bahamas…” confirms Fusco, as we discuss which destinations are at the top of his travel wish-list. “I stay at Atlantis on Paradise Island.”
Summer skin-care
In addition to his modeling career, Fusco is also the marketing director for a skin-care brand. I asked him if he had any summer skin-care tips for guys who are going on a beach vacation.
“Always be sure to apply sunblock frequently – one application doesn’t last all day…” advises Fusco. “After the beach, make sure you wash your face with a mild cleanser, and then use a light but complete moisturizer.”
Fitness motivation
To maintain a physique like Philip Fusco, you’ve got to be taking your health and fitness fairly seriously. Many of us have ambitions of hitting the gym hard and getting lean and strong, but it takes a lot of focus and persistence to achieve the results needed to land a magazine cover or swimwear campaign.
“I stay motivated because self-care and self-love is extremely important – as long as it isn’t overdone…” explains Fusco, when I ask him how he stays motivated on the health and fitness front. “Looking your best will translate into feeling your best. If you feel your best, you’ll be a much better person – kindness will radiate, and the world will be a better place. Of course, there are days that I don’t want to go to the gym. I try to take one day off each week. If I’m not feeling motivated but it’s not my day off, then I force myself to go. I know that I’ll be feeling like a million bucks by the time I leave the gym.”
Insta inspiration
In today’s world, building a career as a successful model requires a lot more than just looking good and knowing how to work a camera. Social media is a key tool in building a following and creating commercial opportunities. Fusco’s Instagram game is particularly strong – he’s got about 130K followers watching his every move.
“I decide what to post based on a couple of factors…” says Fusco, when I ask him if he feels a bit of pressure to present a specific perspective on his life and career through his Insta posts. “If I feel the photo is worthy of being seen by the world, or if I feel that the photo could benefit at least one person in some way. I hope my posts motivate people – that’s my intention.”
Plans for the future
The career of most male models is relatively brief, but Fusco has been stripping off for the camera for more than a decade.
“I’ve been modeling since I was 17…” confirms Fusco, when I ask him about some of the high-points of his career so far. “There’s been a lot of highlights – working with Armando on this shoot is definitely one of them. I’m proud of all the magazine shoots and TV shows that I’ve done. Plus, shooting in Australia was one of my most memorable trips.”
“I just want to keep inspiring people…” shrugs Fusco, when we talk about what the future might hold. “Giving out fitness and training advice, and hopefully making covers for as long as possible.”
