About how to choose the right men’s closet for the beach, we will tell in today’s article

 

Summer vacation is a time that many people look forward to. As a rule, even a few months before it begins to prepare – the choice of country, hotel reservations and related troubles. However, many men forget or do not give enough time to the beach closet.

 

 

In today’s article we will tell you how to pick up the right men’s closet for going to the beach.

 

Beach shoes

Shoes for the beach should be comfortable, non-slip material that dries quickly. The optimal option is the flip-flops, which look out of place in the city, but are perfect for the beach.

 

For beaches with stony surfaces, corals, or where stingrays and sea urchins live, it is advisable to take closed rubber shoes with clasps designed for swimming, which will not fall off in the water.

 

Since you will not be limited to staying on the beach, be sure to take a change of shoes on the trip. These can be espadrilles, slip-ons, topsiders or moccasins that fit under summer pants and shorts. They are a good choice for an evening stroll on the promenade or yacht. Such shoes usually have non-slip and embossed soles. 

 

Headwear

Headgear is chosen depending on the rest of the clothing and features of the design of swimwear. To protect the head from the sun’s rays on the beach three types of accessories are suitable:

 

– baseball cap;

– straw or kotonov hat;

– Panama.

 

Choose hats in light colors and natural, breathable materials.

 

Bags

If you are vacationing with your girlfriend, the phone, book, wallet, glasses can be placed in her bag for the beach. In this case, you will not be baffled by the choice and purchase of men’s beach bag. But there is another side to the coin – your beloved will have to wear things herself, and this does not make a man beautiful.

 

If you have decided to buy a bag, we recommend to pay attention to the following models:

 

– A tote bag. It is roomy, with long handles and often with one compartment. The assortment of colors and prints is very diverse. This is the best option for the beach.

 

– Backpack. It is not necessary to take a hiking variant. It will be enough to have a backpack of average size, which will fit all the necessary beach attributes.

 

– A traveling bag. It can be supplemented with a shoulder strap that increases the carrying comfort. 

 

Swimwear

Designs and colors come in a variety – from classic to exclusive. For light skin suit swimming trunks in dark tones, and for a tanned – warm and bright colors. Therefore you should take several pairs of swimming trunks on holiday.

 

The style also varies – from ultra-short swimming trunks to long swim shorts. Fashion experts consider both the first and the second option to be extremes. Short swim trunks look vulgar, and long – puritanically.

 

Short swim shorts are acceptable if used for their intended purpose. They can be supplemented with pockets, buttons and clasps. However, they do not go to a cafe and do not walk along the promenade.

 

Classic swim trunks are comfortable for swimming, as they do not constrain the movement and do not look flashy.

 

About men’s beach fashion in his time expressed the famous author Glenn O’Brien in his book “Being a Gentleman”: “I think that the men’s bathing suit should not be provocative, not depending on trends and even modest. It should not have any Hawaiian motifs, humor or showing off. The main rule is restraint and propriety.

 

It should be noted that this is only the author’s opinion. Therefore, the choice does not end with the discreet swim trunks, and it is acceptable to purchase a classic cut and bright colors.

 

There are still important details when choosing a bathing suit:

 

– The fast-drying material is polyester or nylon. A maximum of 25% cotton may be added.

 

– Inner mesh so that the material does not stick to the body.

 

– Swim shorts have pockets with snaps for small items.

 

– Comfortable fixation at the waist with an elastic band, drawstring, Velcro, buttons.

 

Despite the fact that the beachwear does not require strict rules for its combination, there are nuances that must be considered.

 

Useful tips

Do not wear a motley top and colorful swim trunks. Some piece of clothing should be monochrome, and some colorful.

 

On the peculiarities of the figure also depends a lot. Tall men fit swim shorts slightly above the knees, and those who have an average height, fit a shorter version. Large men suitable trunks with vertical stripes that slim figure. Horizontal strips will hide the thinness.

 

That’s basically all the basic features of men’s beach closet that you should know in order to look stylish and fashionable on vacation.
