Getting the right fit for your swim briefs is as essential as finding the right cut, style, and color that are most suited for you. Swim briefs that tend to sag won’t look good, especially when out on the beach and coming out of the water. The same goes for swim briefs that cling too tightly to the body.

Although wearing European-style swimwear is bringing out your daring side, a pair that is fitting too tight, might prove more tasteless than tasteful.

So it really pays to consider what fits your body best. The best fit will always be one that is snug and holds well to the hips and the crotch. At Espada, we have four sizes available for our swimwear: small, medium, large, and x-large. You can take a look through the shop for our size chart so you know the exact measurements for each one of them.

And, Espada swimsuits are made with only the very best Italian fabrics with 4-way stretch, ensuring a perfect fit and maximum comfort. The fabric makes a huge difference in how the swimsuit shapes and lifts the body in all the right places.

Now, it’s really simple to find the right size to fit your body. All it takes is a measuring tape and knowing where to measure. All our swimsuits are made to fit at the hips. It might be tricky to figure out exactly where to measure but it’s not difficult. It’s where you would think your swim briefs would fit most comfortably, and that would be right above the bones of your hips. That is where you measure.

By making sure that the tape is flat on your skin and isn’t twisted anywhere, you can easily measure yourself for the right swimwear size. To ensure a snug fit, remove any slack during measuring. After taking the measurement, compare it to our size chart to figure out the appropriate size. This way you can be sure that you’ll get the right size swim briefs to flatter your body while out on the beach.

When you’re ready for a great fitting pair of swim briefs and a great summer ahead filled with pools and beaches, come check us out.

Tanning seems to be making a return in Britain and everywhere else as Internet searches for ’speedo’-type swimwear increase.

While it is making a comeback, getting a tan at the beach is a simple way for anyone to add that healthy golden glow to their skin. You don’t need to be British to know that a nice tan actually does add some appeal points to a guy’s look. The art of tanning, though, takes some learning and expertise, especially when it comes to protecting your skin from the sun. You don’t want to overdo it and get burnt.

Learning the right way to tan at the beach ensures that your skin looks good and achieves that glowing look. First of all, it’s critical to know that there is a certain amount of time that’s optimal for staying out under the sun. Too much sun and you might get extremely sun burnt or even end up looking like a human lobster. Looking like a lobster isn’t a good thing, for your ego and for your skin. So, if you’re a beginner at tanning, it’s best to start off with 10-15 minutes first and then slowly add to it. No matter how experienced you are with tanning, don’t overdo it and stick to one or two hours every day.

Aside from learning how to time your tanning, there are a lot of other tips on the subject that can help. Staying hydrated is a must, too, so your skin keeps fresh while you tan. Do not forget sunscreen lotion as this is an essential ingredient in achieving a good tan. Apply sunscreen before sun exposure and after sun exposure to keep your skin protected and moisturized.

The last piece of course, is finding the right swimsuit. It would be impossible to get that nice, natural, all-around tan with the least amount of visible tan-lines unless you find the right swimming apparel. We recommend swim briefs to maximize tanning exposure and minimize tan lines. Our swim briefs will definitely help to keep you stylish while you achieve that perfect tan.

Temperatures are rising; a sure sign that summer is finally here. For many, summer isn’t complete without a trip to the beach, where the promise of sun, sand, and waves, make up a surefire formula for having a good time.

Over on the West Coast, the beaches are starting to fill with patrons from all over the world. While girls seem to be more than comfortable showing off a bit of skin at the beach, many American men opt to wear baggy board shorts that go down to their knees. Elsewhere in the world, on the beaches of southern France, Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo and Sydney, men are a lot less conservative, strutting around in tight-fitting swim wear in varying degrees of leg exposure.

With the gradual adaptation of board shorts as everyday attire and frequent media exposure of male celebrities unafraid to wear ’speedos’ and swim briefs, the States are starting to warm up toward European style swimwear. Its skin-hugging elasticity and streamlined form allow for great comfort, freedom of movement, and cosmopolitan style.

Whereas board shorts take a while to dry after plunging into the ocean waves or swimming pool, certain swim briefs made from chlorine-resistant Italian fabric dry faster, leaving no tell-tale watermarks or clamminess. Because European style swimwear exposes more skin, men can get nice, even tans.

Espada Men’s Swimwear provides high quality European style swimwear that promises great comfort and style. Those who still feel a little iffy about wearing swim briefs can opt for the square cut style. Men can choose between solid colors or a color contrast waistband design. Inside drawstrings and partial lining ensure everything stays in place, both in and above water.

This summer is sure to sizzle with more men deciding to take on skin-flaunting European-style swimwear.
