This year the trend in men’s swimsuits is towards boxer-style trunks, says Kevin Cowan at scrippsnews.com. “We’re talking an inseam of no more than about 6 inches.
“Even more body-conscious is the square-cut suit. Thank the latest James Bond, Daniel Craig, for interest in this silhouette, which resembles trunk-style underwear. In the 2006 film ‘Casino Royale,’ the British heartthrob emerged from the ocean in tight blue trunks, which caused quite a buzz. Not for the faint of physique, they are more of a European favorite. In the States, you are more likely to see it at metropolitan locales, such as South Beach in Miami.”
