The suns out, so why not bring those guns out. No, not the guns that you are thinking about, but the ones that show that you worked Fall, Winter, Spring to get Summer ready. It’s time to bring sexy back to the beach. Fella’s it’s time to bring fashion to the beach. No more trying to be macho in your below the knee swim trunks and embrace your sexy by leaving nothing to the imagination. Dare to bare more skin! We were conditioned to wear over-sized, unflattering swim gear, which included your favorite wrinkled t-shirt, $5 and below sunglasses, and your year to year swim trunks. What a bore! You can’t be cool in those trunks you’ve had since undergraduate freshmen year. STOP! It’s time to change it up and accent the ladies who never seem to care how much skin is exposed and how sexy their bikini’s are.
Goodbye board shorts and hello swim hipster trunks. Trunks that show off your toned thighs, bulging calves, and highlight that abdominal V. Yes, these shorts are short, but they are a Summer 17 must have. These comfortable, easy to wear shorts have bold colors and patterns that will turn heads and leave people admiring your confidence. It takes the fit of the skinny jean and transfers it into the swim trunk. This latest trend is a universal look for men that upgrades your beach style from normal to smokin’. These trunks can run you a mere $9.99 to $60 and beyond; depending on your preference and style.
Looking cool on the beach isn’t only about the shorts, but also about your eye wear. I like to call it my eye candy. Sunglasses that are bold and smart. This summer’s item accents any beach garment and gives your face a glow that the sun just can’t stop. Before you run to your nearest Sunglass Hut, make sure you know your fit and style before you drop hundreds on glasses that don’t suit your personal style. The more popular styles are metal looks, aviators, and vintage frames, which are frequently seen on the beach and in your GQ fashion magazines. These frames can range from $25 to $100 and more. Again it all depends on your style and the amount you have in your wallet.
Now where do you put all these new items? Yes, a man must have a beach bag and my personal style is the book bag? For me this look gives me a blend of the prep and skater; ready to read a book or travel on a new adventure. Your beach bag of choice could be anything, but just be sure it’s light, colorful, and spacious for your beach towel, suntan lotion, charger, iPad, and summer beverages we like to sneak on the shore.
Turn your beach outfit into a nightlife crowd pleaser that transfers from a dip in the pool to the bright club strip. Floral shirts are the hot item in menswear this summer. These simple yet classic shirts bring a sexy confidence that manifests into the nightlife. Pairing a basic trunk with a floral print shirt and a nice pair of slides leaves you ready to hit the dance floor without overthinking the dress code. 
These print shirts go nicely with chinos, 6 inch shorts, or whatever your style might be. It’s an easy way to be noticed and daring without breaking your pockets or your personal style guide.
Remember the beach is the place to bare a little more. The goal this summer at the beach is to be free and embracing more color and printed schemes.
mOOd: Less is actually more!
