Hot.

By Jill on 5.18.2006

The Times is right, guys — abandon the boardshorts after college. Mid-thigh trunks are hot. Drag shorts are hotter.

    Not exactly ON TOPIC, but I would PREFER it is everyone, everywhere, abandoned the Speedo “banana Hammock”. Even at competition. There are some thing even a hetero gal does NOT want to SEE !!

    I’m sorry, but this is hilarious. Birdwells are the most old school, janky, wear ‘em for ten years then pass them on to your son, sort of board shorts. They’re great for surfing – don’t get in the way of your knees, easy rash wise – but fashion?

    Dude. SO HOT.

    A boy who wears D&G drag shorts can be my boyfriend any day.

    A boy who wears D&G drag shorts can be my boyfriend any day.

    And just today I was debating whether my thigh-length shorts would make me look like a tool. Based on this, I definitely made the right choice.

    I have the requisite board shorts, but hate them. I also have a Speedo left over from when I was swimming more seriously. I do need something betwixt and between, and this seems like a good and sensible — and fashionable — choice.

    And here I thought I was a pervert for wishing that the NBA would reinstitute the short-short look. A girl can dream…

    One of my favorite things about high school was being the manager for the guys’ swim team. Most of them wore drag shorts over their speedos, and they were all lanky beautiful guys. God, those were the days.

    Good. Now maybe I can find a decent pair of swim trunks. I hate men’s long shorts (of any kind) with a passion totally out of proportion to their importance. For the last several years, I’ve worn running shorts instead. They have the built-undies like swim trunks and come in a thigh length, but are not really made to withstand bleach and/or salt.

    Slightly OT – when did men’s chests go bald? Those hunky guys in the ads make me swoon, but they’re as bare as five-year-old boys! A little chest hair is, you know, masculine. Manly. Mature. All those good m words.

    [...] sts, they would be turned on by the sight of guys in swimming trunks, and we all know that never happens. Probably Hugo is right that “Ultimately, I don’t think anyone i [...]
