This warm weather is getting me into the mood for swimwear. I mean here it is February, and it's in the high 50's and low 60's... yesterday was almost 70 degrees!!! I can't even enjoy my cashmere sweaters, and wool coats with fur lapels at this rate. So. yes swim wear. I admit to being a huge swimwear junkie. I'm completely hopeless when it comes to swimwear. I must have already upwards of 30 suits by now, most square cuts, a few speedo styles and about four, shorty short trunks. Here's the thing about swimwear: by the time you planned your first beach foray, or gotten that first pool party invite, all the best suits are already sold out. And unless we're invited to a nude pool day of luxury to Big Whack's, we need a suit most places we go, even though I've been known to lose mine and then get yelled at. So darlings, we must plan now for some newness. The last couple of years, I have gotten many suits from Aronik. They are very well made and hold up very nicely, and adore the little bumble bee logo. But I also don't want to spend $95 for each suit...but man do they show and tell the package nicely. Late last summer, I discovered Argyle Grant, founded in Hollywood in 2010. Aryle creates impressive summer pieces of swim and can also have you ready to hit the pool or beach and then carry you right into brunch or a beach bar for happy hour. Late last year I got into his swim shorts, but I wore them as regular street shorts. LOVE his patterns. Love his quality fabrics, colors and the eye-catching patterns, many of which embrace the 1960's colors and patterns that reflect the swinging heyday of the desert oasis. This year I want to get more of the swim shorts, and if they get wet, there still a swimsuit after all.
Gorgeous guys. Lovely swimwear. I'll have to check out those two brands you linked. Can't wait for the summer to wear my speedos on the beach. Which at these temps might be next week.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, I cannot believe this is February. Even at night it's only going down to the low 50s
DeleteUpwards of 30 bathing suits and you couldn't model a few for us?!?!?
ReplyDeleteI think the audience is just there to watch the HOT guys. And they were nice. I too agree...this IS February, isn't it?
I second that Tweety!!!!
DeleteIt just got hotter in here. And who knew there were runway shows for swim? I love the shorts too, nice patterns.
ReplyDeleteI admit, you do look very sexy in square cuts, and have the assets for them in all the right places. Speedos? Your junk barely stays in them.
Everybody remembers the beautiful guys and their packages -- and forgot about the swimwear.
ReplyDeleteI know I did, lol!!!!!
Love the swimwear.... but the models are smoking hot! I too cannot believe this weather. We usually have snow on the ground...deep!
ReplyDeleteBut with these models, who's looking at swimwears?
ReplyDeleteI saw was tits and ass, tits and ass..they won't get you jobs..unless there these guys,!!!!! Tits and ass!!!!
DeleteIsn't it wonderful how that entire audience was there just to see the swimwear!
ReplyDeleteI found that rather touching myself. Or was it I was touching myself.
DeleteI found it touching myself too.
DeleteGee, I saw Argyle and thought this post was going to be about sweaters.
ReplyDeleteI do love being a good Argyle Sweater!
DeleteYou slapped that boner right on the head: No need for swimwear at my house. In fact, I have threatened many a time to ban them from use. LOL. But, should you need a swim suit, I prefer the new type with the built in under short. The old mesh liners feel awful against such delicate skin.
ReplyDeleteThat was a lovely runway show. But I would've preferred to see you and the Houseboys do the parading.
If you ever hosted a blogger get together swimming party, that would definitely be something I would not miss!
DeleteYes,please!
ReplyDeleteI can’t wait for summer to get here. And they always have the most delectable models. Beefcake is always welcome. Especially with swimwear.
Now I want a square cut.

I probably wouldn't mind seeing you in a square cut
DeleteHuntleyBiGuy:
ReplyDeleteI’m sorry I didn’t see any swimwear. I was too busy with the eye candy.
I can't imagine why you would have missed the swimwear over those full baskets and beefy thighs?
DeleteI doubt they're wearing that in LA right now. I don't think it's been 60 degrees outside for a few days now.
ReplyDeleteDamn!!!!!!!! I will admit...you look great in square cuts!!! I have several Aronik suits but find they fit too tight on my frame. I prefer short trunk....but told I can pull off a Speedo. I myself like trunks better on me. I'll have to look into this collection.
ReplyDeleteTheir WHY overdressed! Love the patterns thought.
ReplyDeleteI’m gay now!
ReplyDeleteLove the swimsuits...the patterns are fun and bright. But did I have to really watch the fashion show of my Future Husbands???
ReplyDeleteIt's fairly mild here in London, too - highs of 58°C - but I rather think it's a bit too chilly for swimming trunks. Not that I'd even bother trying to wear "budgie smugglers" these days, as I'd probably pass more as a Sumo wrestler than an Olympic swimming champion...
ReplyDeleteSuch is life. Jx
Well I have three budgies Smugglers, but with way I'm built I just don't think they look right on me, so now I switched to square cuts, even though I some days think my back side looks like two pigs under a blanket.
DeleteThere ice on the ponds, and so it not swimsuit weather here in North Idaho.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Oh to be young and beautiful, and know what I know now.
ReplyDeleteLooking at those pictures, there's some Argyle wishes I'd like Granted.
ReplyDeleteI suspect you and I might have the same Argyle wishes.
DeleteI'll need to explore the two brands you shared. Eagerly anticipating summer to don my speedos at the beach, and with these temperatures, it might just be next week! Nellykini
