ok for a 10yo boy

Kewcumber · 16/07/2008 15:31

they'd look lovely on my 2 yr old

cyanarasamba · 16/07/2008 15:31

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

Ecmo · 16/07/2008 15:33

yes

bellavita · 16/07/2008 15:33

Who thinks they are awful - you or him?

flowerybeanbag · 16/07/2008 15:34

Yes they are awful

mumfor1standmaybe2ndtime · 16/07/2008 15:34

Are they for men?

Desiderata · 16/07/2008 15:34

They are truly hideous.

better than these

ScummyMummy · 16/07/2008 15:38

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?

NormaStanleyFletcher · 16/07/2008 15:38

My son has some like that

He is 19

windygalestoday · 16/07/2008 15:40

My lovely ds whose 14 has a pair similar in blue hawiian print he loves them

AnotherFineMess · 16/07/2008 15:44

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!

AnAngelWithin · 16/07/2008 16:56

my DH has got them

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!!

OverMyDeadBody · 16/07/2008 17:01

Fine for a fit tanned lyhte man under the age of 20.

Anything else a big no no.

OverMyDeadBody · 16/07/2008 17:04

bellavita · 16/07/2008 17:05
