Anyone else jealous of how many swimwear options women get? This isn’t a cross-dressing thing - I have zero interest in wearing women’s clothing. I just look at the sheer variety women get with swimwear and wonder why men’s options are so ridiculously limited. Women can choose different cuts, coverage levels, leg heights, colours, patterns, fabrics, sporty styles, minimal styles, etc, and it’s all just considered normal variation in swimwear. Men basically get boardshorts, swim shorts, briefs, or maybe square-cut trunks. And usually in black, navy or some other safe colour. What annoys me more is the social side of it. If a guy wants something a little more fitted, colourful, cheeky, or simply different from the standard options, suddenly people want to attach something to it - creepy, gay, weird, attention-seeking, whatever. Why can’t it just be I like that cut and I feel good wearing it? Women have spent decades getting to a point where there’s increasingly a wear whatever makes you comfortable/confident attitude around swimwear and body positivity. It would be nice if men had a bit more of that freedom too. I can’t be the only bloke who looks at the women’s swimwear section and thinks, not that I want women’s swimwear - I just want whoever designs men’s swimwear to have that many ideas.
