Happy Pride! Swim trunks are the unsung heroes of our favourite time of year. They’re colourful and bold, and they’re ideal when you’re caught in the line of fire of a water gun or, heaven forbid, stuck in the rain — eek.
Go for swim trunks that are mid-thigh or longer. Wear them with your favourite sunnies, a water-resistant watch and a sexy wet T-shirt (or nothing at all). Skintight Speedos are always a fun sight, but I prefer them for the beach (and they can look awkward with shoes).
I asked Evolution Fitness trainer and competitive bodybuilder Jeffry Chan to be our swim-trunk hunk. His body-ody-ody framed these shorts most perfectly and he wore them with such pride. Let’s get soaking wet!
