What you need to know about mens swimwear!

-

Choosing what to wear on the beach and around the pool canbe difficult for both men and women and is a decision not to be taken lightly.Whilst there is a wealth of literature offering advice for women on what tolook for when buying swimwear, there is considerably less advice in circulationfor men.
To help you get your choice of swimwear right, here is asimple yet helpful guide to men’s swimwear.

Casual

Casualness exudes sexiness, particularly when it comes to mensswimwear. It is not too difficult to achieve a casual look on the beach asthere is a wide range of swimwear for men that can be placed in the casualcategory.
Board shorts – sometimes referred to as ‘boardies’- forexample, can certainly be deemed as a casual choice of men’s swimwear. Beingdurable, quick drying and stylish, board shorts have always been a popularstyle of swimwear amongst male surfers. Being ultra-comfortable, loose fittingand much more modest than the likes of thongs and trunks, ‘boardies’ alsoprovide the perfect choice for those planning to play popular beach games suchas volleyball and handball. They’re also perfect for those who intend to explorethe cliffs and rocky inlets surrounding the beach.
A general rule of thumb is that the taller you are thelonger you can afford to have your board shorts. Men who are over six foot lookgood in longer length ‘boardies’, whilst shorter men look better in shorter varieties.


Serious swimming

If your choice of men’s swimwear is focused primarily onswimming as opposed to other activities or just looking good, you are likely tobe interested in purchasing a pair of trunks or even water shorts.
Trunks have been a popular choice of swimwear for men formore than fifty years and their popularity shows little sign of abating. Being short and fitting snugly to the body,trunks don’t hamper you or become a hindrance when you are swimming, unlike otherbaggier types of swimwear which can have a tendency to do so.
Similar to trunks, water shorts are also designed with themore serious swimmer in mind. Comprising of an elasticised waist and an insidemesh liner, water shorts are ultra-comfortable and don’t run the risk ofexposing anything whilst you swim! Being snugly fit and supportive, men canswim with greater ease, peace of mind and comfort all provided thanks to onesimple item of clothing.

The last month or so has flown by! As if we are already in July. Terrifying. I've been a bit slow on the blog posts lately, I've sort of felt a lack of inspiration to write about much but something yesterday spurred on my need to write. ALEXA CHUNG IS DESIGNING HER OWN LINE. Yes that is right, our favourite style icon is finally adding to her mark on the fashion world with her own collection.  This got me thinking about how quickly your taste and opinions on everything change. From clothes you like to food you eat. So I thought I would take a look at some of my first favourites I'm talking teenage years by the way this isn't going to be a break down of my first word and hair cut. 1. First TV Addiction - The OC Seth Cohen was my first love. Hands down, his geeky little comments and penguin jumpers were all I needed through the OC. I actually remember it was on every Tuesday night and it was the highlight of the week! Also I mea

Next festive competition

So feelingstylish.co.uk is running a competition for us bloggers to create a Christmas window for Next. All you have to do is simply design your window using next products and submit your entry in a comment on the feelingstylish.co.uk blog. I have done my own entry (I will admit it is hard to create the window and make it look realistic so make sure you explain your concept) My window focuses on a pale colour scheme. It is extremely feminine and not obviously Christmas themed in the way that there is no red or gold to be seen! I chose to use the two glitter Christmas trees as features as they are adorable! I would actually have the fairy lights on the left wrapped through the branches of the trees for a more whimsical feel. I have then chosen two party dresses. Seeing as party season is all about the sparkle I chose to pale pink numbers both embellished beautifully with sequin. They are both quite loose fitting and therefore PERFECT for when you've eaten a bit too

Money vs Style

As I sit here next to my best friend searching Amazon for a cheap pot of OPI muppets collection I can't help but wonder if having more money makes it easier to be more stylish?  Think about it..... Being a student means I am poor 99% of the time apart from my birthday or Christmas. Luckily for me it is my 21st birthday on Sunday and therefore had the luxury of having over 200 pounds to spend on of course clothes! Although I wanted my Mulberry Bayswater for my birthday I was EVEN more over joyed to unwrap my beautiful Michael Kors rose gold watch off my parents. (partly because it is extremely shiny) but mainly because this is the first truly expensive item I have really owned. The first thing I know I will keep for the rest of my life.  So does money make you more stylish? Look at celebrities, they are always the ones captured and photographed for the style pages of magazines, so why not photograph normal people? I know that people are not really interested in those "normal
