Please help DH & I to resolve an argument...are these awful?

[AnotherFineMess]

what do you think?

[pointydog]

for a bloke - awful

For perfumed ponces only

[WarmFuzzy]

Why not get your DH one of these?

[mum2oandh]

Oh yes, don't mind the style of them, but they are cheap and nasty. Fat face do nice ones....

[NumberJill]

yes

[blowsy]

My gorgeous dh has some very similar. He looks fab in them!! (But is quite toned)

[AnAngelWithin]

i know!

[bellavita]

You lucky lucky thing AnAngel

[OverMyDeadBody]

Ewww my eyes AFM! Why of why did I click on that link? yuk yuk yuk

Yes the shorts are much much better.

[OverMyDeadBody]

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

Anything else a big no no.

[AnAngelWithin]

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

[AnAngelWithin]

my DH has got them

[Ewe]

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!

[whatchance]

Job done!

[bellavita]

Oh, those are so on trend

[AnotherFineMess]

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!

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

[NormaStanleyFletcher]

My son has some like that

He is 19

[ScummyMummy]

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]

better than these

[iBundle]

not nice

[Desiderata]

They are truly hideous.

[mumfor1standmaybe2ndtime]

Are they for men?

[flowerybeanbag]

Yes they are awful
