Thomas Voorn likes to think of fashion as a conceptual tool to create art and images, and as part of it he’s photographed a dude in a floral print…Speedo? Banana hammock? It’s a sort of mix of the two that we’ve never seen before. Either way, it’s an I’m-very-comfortable-with-my-sexuality swimsuit. We’re okay with that. [Thomas Voorn]

The weekend’s finally here!  And in the summer time, that can only mean one thing, it’s time to put on your bathing suit and hit the beach, pool, backyard, hood of a car…whatevs, you’re getting into a swatch of spandex and it’s time to show off!  How to look your best in a bikini may seem like an existential crisis, forcing you to question everything from your food intake to how deep you need to go into the water.  But we’ve distilled down the strutting your stuff essentials into a few easy steps so you can step out and confidently show some skin!

1. Ooze with Attitude Be confident and casual—that’s always sexy. If you know you look good, so does everyone else.

Men have many options when it comes to showing some skin this summer: board shorts, classic speedos, spandex hot pants, banana hammocks, and now the mankini. While Borat and John Mayer have made the mankini a laughing stock in lime green, at the recent Alexander McQueen menswear show in Milan, the tan and black is so cutting edge it looks like the future, like something one of the guys on Star Trek would wear.  Maybe not Captain Jean-Luc Piccard, he’s totally a sporty shorty kinda guy.  However, a guy like Geordi LaForge would definitely make the mankini swoon. But is this look realistically rockable for the modern mman?  [Wake Up America]
