The second is the Diesel Nagano Bathing Suit. These new season swim shorts are a recent addition to our extensive swimwear range but have already proved to be a huge hit.  Diesel knows the market trends and introduced this shorter style swim short to this year’s collection.  These shorts not only look fantastic but have a super soft polyester material which means they feel great, are comfortable and quick drying.  Available colours are Red, Black and Sky Blue. This suit is £29.

Swimwear Trends
Here at Quake for Men we have noticed over the past years a definite UK trend for the more fitted swim trunks, it appears Men are moving away from the longer length shorts.  One of our most popular brands is Pistol Pete which has a great range of swim trunks from classic styles to the more adventurous.

These suits are available on the Quake for Men website.

  • Made out of luxury soft cotton fabrics.
  • Super comfortable.
  • Low-rise, body conscious cut.
  • Shorter legs for comfort and easy motion ability.

Iqoniq is a brand that has been good to me over the last year. They are a European brand that has some great stylings in both underwear and swimwear. They have a terrific line of underwear called Iqoniq Basiq.

The Basiq  line has Athletic Hipster and Athletic Briefs. Tiqoniq2he Hipsters are like trunks or boxer briefs here in the States. They come in white and black and are 14.95 Euros. As I said it’s a European company so all pricing in this posting will be in Euros. The Hipster has shorter legs for ease of motion and extra comfort.

The Athletic Brief is available in White, Black, Blue, Red and white/blue. This brief is 12.00 Euros. It also has the iconic Iqoniq waistband. They are smaller cut then traditional briefs but they are for a guy who want’s a sports brief, rather then a tighty whitey brief.

The entire line is very form fitting and will accent your body. Iqoniq is known for it’s sporty stylings and great profiles. They mix the traditional with the new. The briefs has very traditional profile but low rise body conscious cut. You can tell that a lot of work goes into the design of their underwear. Everything is thought out iqoniqand well executed.

If you want to try Iqoniq you may try the two or three pack solutions. The two Hipsters are 24.95. While the three pack of briefs is 25.00. It would be best to get a three pack of briefs then buying one separately.

If you want to try Iqoniq now is the best time to do it, for the rest of the month they are doing free shipping. This includes international shipping. And while you’re there check out the swim wear. The Odyssea is one of my favorite ones they have. Although, last year they sent me an Aquaric swim suit and it is very well made and  had held up really well.
