Ladies, what do you think of this men's swimsuit?

What do you think of this swimsuit?

http://www.armaniexchange.com/product/mens/shorts/knit+brief+swim+short.do?asc=&sortby=&size=

In case it matters, I'm slender, toned and tan. Thanks!

uh, NO!!! WAAAY too tight.

Gross.

All I can say is gross. That does not even look like a bathing suit. Please try wearing bathing suits that actually look like a bathing suit. JUST SO YOU KNOW I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE.

That's hot, you should buy it.

I don´t know what the big deal is...it looks ok to me..

I don't think it looks all that bad ;it all depends on the man. though.

I think it shows to much. Leave a little something to the imagination!

It is fine for swimming, but I vote no for hanging out or doing anything other than being in the water.

Not good in America. Maybe in other parts of the world this is fine, but here, board shorts or something similiar is always better.

I think it's too much...if you're a professional swimmer then buy them but if you are just hanging out by the pool or at the beach than it's just too controversial, buy a normal one and have fun!

NO I DO NOT LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

never,ever,ever,ever,ever wear spedos they are UGLY sorry. :(

its hot, and if youre hot, then go buy it and be all the hotness you want.

p.s.

dont yah think its a little bit expesive for a tiny peice of fabric? and for a second there, i thought you were gonna ask us if the green suit that BORAT wore would look good on you. srry my "hunches" are weird.

I think that men's swimsuits should come down to the middle of the thigh and not be so tight.

I hate those kinds. you should get the swim shorts unless your on a swim team then I guess you'll have to choose it.

Does anyone know if theres any shops or stores (not online) for alloy?

its not a tire place or anything its teens, womens, and some mens apparel and i just wanna know where it is so i dont have to order a swimsuit and if it doesnt fit, i wont get to trade it in for another one.. and makeup and stuff.

No, there isn't. I love that place too, though. Do they have men's stuff? I don't think so..

I need sweatpants with no seam in front for men?

why do sweatpants have seam in front crotch area on the mens version its so unconfortable do i need to buy womans sweatpants ? and why dosnt walmart sell speedo style swimsuits

dude you could try womens sweatpants, anythng goes and walmart does sell speedos!

How do you wear boardshorts for IN and OUT of water??? (check out additional details)?

Ok, so i need a new bathing suit and found boardshorts. I noticed they can be worn in and out of water but i have a few ?'s. First, if they are worn for swimming, since they don't have a mesh underwear type thing does it make it easier for people to see your package? I don't wear underwear when swimming but idk how these should be worn. Am i supposed to wear them with underwear or boxers when i go swimming? i know when i am not i should wear underwear but idk about swimming. (i wear boxer briefs) here are two styles that i like. you tell me.

http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?productId=prod1380008&rcid=mens&scid=cat90010&sscid=&ssscid=&navroot=mens

One has an inside mesh but not in the regular brief style of swimsuits but in a fully lined style.

I had a look at the 2 boardshorts, and both have a fully-lined inner mesh. Clearly, neither is meant to be worn with anything underneath. As to which one is better, it's up to you as to which style you feel more comfortable with. I'd go for a nylon boardshort rather than one with cotton) as it's more likely to dry quicker. Whether others will see your package depends on whether the material becomes see-thru when wet: neither looks to be in that category, so there should be no prbs in that respect.

Check out this post:

http://www.mensunderwearblog.com/2007/06/summer-swimwear-series-part-1.html

Yeah, you'd want to wear boxers for either one to be safe and comfortable.

I prefer a speedo under my board shorts (if I'm going to be doing any water sports like wakeboarding- since falls can pull the shorts down- and they dry better). Otherwise, boxers / boxer-briefs are fine since not all shorts have the mesh to protect your skin from chaffing.

Best of luck!

Boardshorts were never intended to be used for actual swimming in a pool, and that's why they aren't generally lined.

In the ocean when you surf there can be a lot of problems with chaffing. So they don't put mesh around your package! Plus the water is dark and no one can see anything.

The most comfortable alternative is a "jammer" usually made by Speedo. They are a little tight but no one cares at the pool, you wont be flashing anyone, and they keep water from puffing up the legs of the garment. HTH. :)

It's not fair i'm self conscious about My body as it is?

I play soccer and today we have a pool practice. In general I would not be too happy about this because i don't think i look that great in a swimsuit. Now if it were just my teammates I wouldn't care becuace it's my team but the MENS team is swiming with us as well. When i found this out i almost hypervenalated. How do i get my cofidence up asap and overcome this?

It doesn't help that's that time of the month for me as well.

Quick Fix:

if u don't feel comfortable then tell the coach. I'm sure others won't be as comfortable as well. When I was younger and was def. not a "10" and my brothers would have pool parties with all their friends I would just hurry up and get in the pool because you can't really see much under the water like that.

Long Term:

Work on your confidence. It's not easy but you have to learn to be happy with your body.

showing self insecurity is the biggest way for people to actually notice you. If you are yourself and relaxed and "fit in" and arenot reacting differently from the others, people will not see you as different as the others. I am overweight too and I used to wear a coat even in the summertime (and big oversized shirts). I started just this year to wear appropriate sized clothing and people actually asked if i had lost weight. I started to do it around my close friends first and then gradually I grew more couragous to just go out in public with them and do it and then on my own. It may take time, but dont make yourself stand out, that gives people a reason to pick you out of a crowd, good luck to you!

You're afforded a great degree of freedom when you live your life not caring what other people think. I've found this to be true.

Listen, alot of girls(including myself) have self esteem problems. What I try to do is focus on whats great about my body. I like my hair, my eyes, my lips, and my stomach. Focus on what you like about your body and it will make you more confident. Just remember ever girl has something on their body that they don't like. Just become comfortable with yourself, and everybody else will think your beautiful. Most likely you are very pretty to other people. Alot of girls are probably jealous of you, and when girls are jealous of you then they don't really compliment the way you look. Just hold your head high.

have confidence in urself don't do things u dont want to..

Shave your head, wrap it in gauze and tell the coach you just had neurosurgery!

What do you think of using full body (racing/performance) swimsuits for sun protection? Unisex??

I swim at an outdoor pool. During summer I put sunblock on but its a pain to get all of my back, not to mention a lot to wash off afterwards.

I think a good solution would be to use a racing suit, like one that covers the torso and goes down close to the knees.

Questions:

1. Does anyone do this? Can you recommend a suit?

2. I've seen racing suits (aquablade, fastkin) that look like what I want, but are overkill for this. I wouldn't want to spend the money on one (retail price) and then just use it for training. Ebay is an option, though. What do you think of using one of these, if they can be purchased cheap off ebay?

3. Gender. I've noticed some suits, like the old aquablade kneeskin/high neck/zip back would be ideal for this. As best I can tell, there isn't much difference between mens/womens in these; they look the same to me. Are there any issues w/ using one for the opposite gender assuming it fits?

Have you considered a full-body suit like this:

The price is more reasonable. I imagine they would add quite a bit of drag, but that isn't such a bad thing for training.

There are slight differences in the male vs female suit, but nothing that would make it not fit. You could use either suit.

I think it is a good idea. Maybe try to find one that is not an aquablade (if possible) b/c you don't need that if you're just swimming laps.

You could also try underarmor, like a surfing shirt that are long sleeved. They are almost like a wetsuit, but a much lighter weight.

Hope that helps!

What type of swimsuit for my body type?

I am 5'6" and about 180lbs. I'm not fat - just thick, my weight is distributed evenly so I still have curves but I have big boobs and thighs and a bit of a tummy. I usually wear mens board shorts since they are longer with a tankini but it just looks dumpy. I want a girlier look while remaining comfortable.

1. Wear block colours. Don't go for prints because they will only make ur hips and boobs look bigger.

2. U can either wear a bikini or one piece.

(rules apply to both)

a. bikini. try and wear a bikini that bottoms have a higher cut as opposed to boylegs or something. this will make ur legs look longer and draw attention away from your thighs. ( its also a very girly look). also go for a bandau top with a small detail or someting so that it draws attention away from your boobs. if u follow these rules and u feel confortable in a bikini - thats what i recommend. u wont notice ur stomach.

b. one piece. one again go for block colour and small detail with a higher cut at the legs. if u are worried about your stomach then try a swimsuit with a small belt in the same colour to disguise ur tummy.

3. dont wear boadshorts. unless they are knee level and very loose (highly unfashionable) then they will cut u off at the thighs and make them look even bigger.

4. steer clear of monokinis - they will make ur stomach look bigger because of the cut outs.

5. wear what makes u feel comfrtable. if u dont like my advice dont follow it but i just have to warn you that what i wrote will work wonders.

good luck... hope i helped

NO boyshorts they tend to show the trouble area more.

You NEED a top with support (not just bra lining).

I agree with a skirtini

a cute one piece will show off your curves. pair it with a matching skirt instead of the board shorts. It'll be really comfy and make you feel so cute and girly. i love to have a swim skirt over my suits. :D

you could wear a tankini and bottoms w/ a skit connected, still girly but covers a little more.

A slim fit one-piece would look really nice on your figure =] Anything from Target to Juicy Couture would work fine! Good luck && hope this helps! --OLiViA!

Wearing a one-piece is kind of like wearing a corset. It sucks you in and shapes you a little.

Wear a supportive halter top and a boy-short type bottom.

I think a one piece wuld look cute with board shorts/girl trunks if u dont like ur thighs but u cood wear a bikini im sure it wont look bad=]

Bikini

tankini, cute and appropriate!

1 Piece.

You ARE fat.

a monokini would look really good on you :) try target or any department stores, they should have some...

what ever makes you feel good!

America only: So just how long and baggy are mens swimpants going to get, while womens suits nearly disappear?

I am just curious concerning America's bizarre resentment of any man wearing a sensible swimsuit, while women of all ages, shapes and stages of physical fitness are permitted to wear a wide variety of form fitting swimwear including going roughly 3 square inches or so of complete nudity. Meanwhile, the "fashionable" and only acceptable swimsuit for a man is knee length, or if he is really risque mid-thigh. Baggies are not very comfortable to swim in, less so lounging around in after a swim since they take forever and 3 days to dry. Like to to see all the lame points given.

"America only: So just how long and baggy are mens swimpants going to get, while womens suits nearly disappear?".....

when men pass out from heatstroke..and women sit in crabs.

crazy aint it?

This is a Darwin category waiting to happen. This fad will die out as those guys die off by drowning when they're dragged under by the weight of their long baggy trunks. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=1006052522213&kid=NbUvWDK4UDCNAGbnt_TI&s=comm&date=2006-05-26+18%3A18%3A36&.crumb=

wear a speedo if you want shorter swim suits http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=1006052522213&kid=NbUvWzC0VzEtMyiNWGWD&s=comm&date=2006-06-13+19%3A15%3A14&.crumb=

What do you wear Speedos? That's sick and wrong if you do.

i think there ought to be a law! actually i think women and men should cool it on the skimpy suits. instead of board shorts guys look ok in swim trunks-NO SPEEDOS EVER-and sometimes for gals its better covered then letting it all hang out. can't say if your at home or yard anything goes

I don't like the fact that women's suits are getting smaller but I thank god everyday that Speedos are not popular here. I don't even think that those are sensible.

I don't want to see girls or women in bathing suite that show everything I think it is degrading to women! In the old day a women had to cover more then men did while swimming now men seem to cover more I don't understand it at all! I do not have a that bad looking of a body but even if ! only weight 100 pounds and look fantastic I would not wear one of the swim suites I will stick to a full piece, I do like the short type bottoms to those are cool! And I think guys should be able to go with something less baggy but not to reveling!

I'm not complaining about either. The less pasty white skin you see on guys and the more nice and shapely skin on girls works fine for me.

women have to show off their sexy side and men are there to observe that. besides, all women really want to see from men is their chest, not the flattened shape of their you-know-what.

I don't like the fact that women's swimsuits are showing off practically there whole bodies and that a lot of people think that is how we are suppose to dress. I think the baggy swim pants are a little long.

The little speedo swimsuits on guys look gay

I saw this mens top wear and i dunno what its called?!?

i saw a top wear for mens and i don't know what its called. Its sleeveless and tight fitting. the clothing only covers the top part of the body so it shows the abs. its kinda like a swimsuit.

it also was in d.grayman when allen was training in china.

maybe like this

something like this

Wait!..I think I know what your talkin about now..It's like half of a shirt right?..they wore it in the 80s..Gimmie a minute and I'll

Do they sell those type of swimsuits at walmart ive usually only have seen swim (shorts) for men I really want this kind but I dont know were to get one. at walmart? plz help

I like it. Grow up ladies, there is nothing wrong with swim briefs (speedos). They are more comfortable and allow for better tanning for the guys.

any sporting goods store and why would u want 1 the r soo gross

try ***** sporting goods.

seriously. i agree w/ Katie Grace! those r sooooooo gross!

no not at walmart.

I think you either need to go to a sporting goods store or look for some online

try a sporting goods store or online at www.speedousa.com
