Summer is officially here.  Which means pool parties and trips to the beach.  Fun in the sun for everyone!  We asked the staff at UNB what they are wearing this season.  From board shorts to the skimpiest of speedos, here’s what the guys will be laying out and swimming in.
Diesel Coralrif nylon shortsAlex  – Diesel Caralrif Nylon Swim Shorts – : I normally don’t wear much swimwear in the summer for the beach but really like this pair from Diesel. The vintage cut give enough away while still leaving something to the imagination. They would be perfect for the hanging around with straight  friends and skimpy enough for the gay gatherings too 🙂

Timoteo speedsterJeff – Timoteo Speedster –  He loves the classic, retro style, the sexy, fitted look, and the bright, fun colors.

UNBLJ – Vuthy Royal Plaid – He  is wearing this hot bikini this summer.  Why?  In his words: It fits my ample butt and makes it look good!

N2N-Stratum-Collection1Tim aka UNBTim – N2N Stratum – .  It’s part of the new N2N collection and fits great! I love the classic N2N pouch built in the pair. It’s not too skimpy but it is a little lower cut in front. It’s been very fun to wear to the pool and after getting back into swim shape I am glad I can wear great and fun swim wear again.

Sauvage Racing BriefUNBAtlBriefs – Sauvage Racing Brief –  He is wearing this hot number this Summer.  It’s actually the same suit I wore last season.  I haven’t found a suit I liked better this season, so I am daring to be be seen in the same suits as last season.  Yes, I said suits.  I have it in four colors!

 

UNBJon TYR Swim Brief –  I will be mixing it up this summer. Instead of just my Nike and Speedo swim trunks, I have begun to venture into Speedo land. Look for me poolside not only wearing above the knee swim trunks, but also my newly purchased navy and blue TYR swim brief.Speedo solar brief

 

UNBGabe – Speedo Solar Swim Brief: There’s basically two styles of swimwear I’ll be wearing this summer.  For me it’s either a basic pair of board shorts or Speedo Solar swim brief.  I still swim competitively with a masters team so the Speedo is standard issue year round.  Of course, it has occasional utility if my fiance and I find ourselves someplace with a private jacuzzi and we’ve had too much to drink.  Board shorts on the other hand are pretty functional no matter what the setting, particularly where I live in FL.  They are available from so many manufacturers and in so many styles, it’s not practical to list them all here.  My particular pair is a generic brand from Target.  It dries super-fast, has built-in mesh support, and pockets for the car keys and wallet.

Bonobos swim trunkShane – Classic Swim Trunks  This summer, like all summers before, I will be wearing regular trunks to the pool, beach, river, creek, and puddle that I may happen to fall into.  These are not board shorts.  I do not like board shorts because they are too long.  These trunks are the type that hit above the knee and are not too loose fitting.  I have a couple of pairs of these and my favorite one is a green, blue, white, and black plaid pair.  This style looks good on my body and provides good coverage.  I tend to think of them as classic in styling.

I hope that everyone had a chance to read my last review about the Andrew Christian “Show-It” swim trunks and have picked up a pair for themselves. I have another great suit to tell you about that would be a very BOLD addition to your summer swimwear. It is the Andrew Christian “Almost Naked” Swim Bikini. Again, our friends at Andrew Christian were kind enough to send us this suit to review. Let me give you some advise. The design is bold, but when you get the suit in white, you are asking for some trouble. Good trouble that is!

The fit of the “Almost Naked” bikini suit was great. It gave ample coverage in the front and back. The pouch of the bikini swimsuit is a unique feature that gives it its very bold and sexy look. Not only has the pouch been created to cup your package, but also allows it to hang ergonomically correct. This means it gives your package a very comfortable and “obvious” pouch in which to sit. From the pictures, you can see this suit is not for the faint or boring at heart.

The materials used to create this sexy looking swimsuit are fantastic. The bikinis feel soft and at the same time durable. They are made with Sport UPF Fade Resistant Fabric 50+ which means that over 95.7% of UV rays are blocked by the fabric. Sport UPF Resistant Fabric is also fade resistant meaning you will be able to wear it in the sun all summer before the fabric begins to fade.

I have been told that bikini/speedo style suits are not that flattering on me and can emphasize the size of my hips. Opinions, however, vary and if you are like me and have the confidence to wear this suit, you will LOVE IT! One thing that should be noted about the particular pair that I reviewed was the color. I reviewed the bikini suit in white, and there is some translucency when it gets wet. It’s not too bad. But it should be taken under advisement. I do feel that the white color of this suit very much adds to its bold and sexy look. If you want to be bold and sexy, but not “white swimsuit” bold, then opt for one of the other colors. There is no doubt in my mind that you will still turn heads while wearing this suit around the pool and at the beach.

The summer is just getting started and it’s time to gear up. We here at UnderwearNewsBriefs.com have already written up a 2009 Summer Swim Suit Guide that we posted several weeks ago about suits from various brands we thought were both eye-catching and fun for this year. Now it’s time to review some new swimwear and give you the “411” on what’s hot this summer. Our first swimwear review will be of the Andrew Christian “Show-It” swim trunks. Now, you might have already heard about the “Show-It” underwear line Andrew Christian had first developed. It sold like hotcakes. After this, they decided to create a swimsuit line. Our friends over at Andrew Christian were gracious enough to send me a pair of the red/black trunks in a size large.

I will admit that I was a bit skeptical since I have felt AC underwear/swimwear would not work too well with a body type like mine. I was wrong. The size large fit well with ample coverage in both the front and back. The “Show-It” technology lives true to its name. The ‘comfy cup’ design inside gives a lift to my package and helps it say “HI” to the world. The cup is lined with soft elastic making it very comfortable for a long day at the beach or pool.

I once only liked Speedo swimwear even though I didn’t think it would look that great on me, but I can tell you now that I have fallen in love with trunk style swimwear. It looks so much better on my body type. The AC “Show-It” swim trunk is a great addition to my summer attire. Its overall look can be summed up in two works: “HOT & SEXY”!

Check out the Andrew Christian “Show-It” swim trunks. I am excited to have it in my swimwear collection and I am sure you will too. I give it an overall rating of 5 on a scale of 5.
