Sherman Oaks, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/09/2010 -- Lately, men have become very selective in mens swimwear and swimsuits. In the past, there was only a standard style that was followed by men for swimwear, indoor sports and beachwear. However, now fashion options for men have increased significantly in the swimwear category.
Men were limited to boxers and brief swimming costumes for a very long time. But Speedo, the new collection in the market has outdated boxers and others. Speedo launched its skin-tight range. The skintight lycra swimsuits were not only launched for men but also for women. Speedo in terms of coverage gives the least amount of coverage. When compared to boxers and briefs, boxers cover a bit more than Speedo and briefs give maximum coverage. Professional swimmers always prefer skintight Speedos that are small, as it gives them complete freedom and comfort to do a whole range of new swimming strokes.
After Speedos, there are the swim trunks. They are the most popular mens swimwear attire that is considered to present in every man’s wardrobe. The designs of swim trunks are pretty simple and standard. But the designs on the material of the swim trunks is what makes it so special and fast selling. There are a million designs to choose from. Men can sift through the brilliant animal prints, solid colors, strips and checks, polka dots and many different unique looking patterns that a man could dream about. The swim trunks can also be given a different look by adding cords or pockets to it. It can either be of elastic waistband of drawstring.
Yet another mens swimwear loved by many men are the racing briefs. While swimwear trunks are preferred by casual-swimmers, men’s racing briefs are always worn and preferred by professional and serious swimmers. Racing briefs are optimized in designs and shapes for best racing and diving stunts to be performed. The racing briefs are manufactured with a strong sense of durability in mind. The effects of chlorine on any material can have a bad effect and hence the racing briefs are made with chlorine resistant material. It is very important, as a professional swimmer practically has to live in his swimwear.
Another option in the mens swimwear category is the broad short. Many men prefer broad shorts for recreational purposes and other water sports. This swimwear offers maximum coverage when compared to any other mens swimwear. Broad shorts are usually long and have a laced waistline. They were initially made of cotton, but the recent practice is to make them out of polyester blended material as they are water resistant and do not become waterlogged.
These options in the mens swimwear category have given every individual the chance and opportunity to be unique.
