ES Collection: Putting the Ass in Class

For those who prefer a dash of elegance with their beach attire, ES Collection serves a strip of Spanish sophistication.

Trust us, when you're based in a random place like Cyprus, this is a blessing! Some wear them under shorts on vacations, wishing they could strip down and enjoy the swim brief experience.

A Look Back: Speedos in the U.S.

Speedos weren’t always taboo. is that their swimwear is durable and comfortable, whilst being fashionable and sexy…this is the brand we recommend you check out if you fancy feeling out your hot jock fantasy!

Code 22

Code 22 is a gay fashion brand from Barcelona.

The brand was subsequently purchased by the Swiss-German Triumph Group in 1986 and then the Huber Group in 2015. He believes bigger guys have had the bad end of the deal when it comes to swimwear—until now. Swim thongs, however – now that's daring, and it takes a lot of, er, balls, to pull these bad boys off!

Here's our summary of the different styles of swimwear to check out starting from the most conservative and ending with the skimpiest:

• Shorts: swim shorts are the ones we opt for when heading to a family-friendly beach or when we just want to fit in with the straight crowd.

  They were living their best lives, but I was still too afraid to wear what I wanted.

  While we often assume Europe is more accepting, it depends on the location. I personally love these ones the most because I find they’re the most effective for highlighting one's bubble butt!

• Briefs: swim briefs, Speedos, “Bikinis” (in America), and “Budgie Smugglers” in Australia are super revealing and pretty much the staple clothing item on a huge gay cruise like La Demence or Atlantis!

  For us, their swimwear range is ace. Their swimwear, often vibrant and unapologetically bold, screams confidence – or rather ‘look at my junk’ because with their patented ‘Wonderjock' technology, you'll be given a most welcome extra lift to your package. You know what I mean…that one time you woke up and said to yourself – “Now where can I get myself a cute pair of briefs with a print of a duck wearing a ball gag?” – now you know!

  Duck print with a ball gag too much?

  Organizing group trips to the beach or pool where everyone wears swim briefs can make the experience more fun and less intimidating.

The Swim Brief Challenge

One way to advance this movement is by reviving the Swim Brief Challenge, an initiative in which guys commit to wearing Speedos in public at least once a year.

Their pineapple logo is synonymous with fun, and their bright designs ensure you're the juiciest fruit in the bowl. Image obsessed? Not gonna lie, we are 100% guilty – but loving it. This is the safe go-to pair we opt for – ie when we don't want to be on show! The longer shorts are called “Board Shorts” and are particularly fashionable in the US surfer-dude crowd.

• Trunks: swim trunks are what we like to think of as the perfect midpoint between shorts and Speedo briefs.

  He donates generously to charities like the Trevor Project and ILGA Europe.

  Vain? They sell everything from singlets, trunks, briefs, thongs, and shorts with plenty of bright colors, and patterns.
