Summer is coming in hot, and you know what that means. The group chats are popping off with pool party invites, your favorite circuit DJ just announced their beachside set, and your thirstiest friend already has five new swim pics queued up for the feed.

So, here you are. Standing in front of the mirror with a pair of swim trunks in one hand and a skimpy little number in the other. One says, “I’m just here for the sun.” The other? “I am the sun.”

Let’s be real. You already know which one to wear. It's time to make a splash, boys.

This summer isn’t the time to hide. It’s the time to celebrate every inch of what makes you feel bold, sexy, and alive. And yes, that includes the bulge. You’ve worked hard (or at least remembered to moisturize), so why not show it off? (Trust me, the boys will thank you.)

There’s nothing more magnetic than a man who feels good in his skin, and the right swimwear turns that feeling into a whole mood. Maybe you go for a barely-there bikini cut that leaves very little to the imagination. Or maybe it’s something sporty with a high hem and a low rise that hugs you in all the right places. Whatever your vibe, the key is to stop covering up and start showing out.

You don’t have to wait until Pride to express yourself. You don’t have to be a model to feel like one. You just need a pool, a tan line, and the confidence to let a little fabric do a lot of talking.

And remember: the summer party doesn’t just happen at night. Those sun-drenched weekend days? That’s where the magic is. The glint of sunlight on water, the sound of ice clinking in a cocktail, the laughter of friends who are feeling themselves. You belong in that picture. And you belong in swimwear that makes you feel like your hottest, boldest self.

So go ahead. Bare it. Dare it. Show the bulge. Sun's out, bun's out. Own the look. Whether you’re poolside, beach-bound, or just strutting across your rooftop in a speed brief and a smile, this is your summer to shine.

We’ve got the swimwear to match. You just bring the heat.
