I think they are ok on holiday on a relatively buff/tanned body.

Fine for kids or men who like loudish patterns. They are a little bit meh though, I think. Too toned down for true cool brashness and too big flower dominated for the less is more look. Still, for a tenner if you've run out of trunks, who's complaining?

Bellavita!

And much better than these!! (nicked from Meghalegs on a previous thread).

DH came home with these to take on hol - my first thought was bleuggghhhh, but then I'm no style guru so I thought I would seek the wisdom of the MN style jury!

DH has read all of your replies, laughed in a rather endearing way, and said that he doesn't want to look like a fat, red, tatooed child so will take them back!

Oh I like them! Very surfer-y.

Although if your DH is over 25 and not uber fit he is probably making the right move taking them back!

Report
AnAngelWithin · 16/07/2008 16:59

but then my DH is pretty buff and gorgeous anyway, and pretty well toned so they look ok on him!!
