Speedo options for pale skin?

Post by flaimboy » Sun Apr 03, 2011 11:10 pm

Hey guys,

sorry but i can't figure out how to post a pofilepic/avatar thing, it just keeps coming up with an error and something about an attack vector???

Anyway, just wondering on peoples thoughts on what colour/cut/brand speedo might be better for me than others. I have very pale skin (th photos have darkened me considerably!) and have been told darker colours but black seems like it would contrast so much against my skin that it doesnt make sense???

Any ideas anyone/everyone?

Dude, you're effing HOT. Wear whatever is the smallest you can get away with.

But yes, darker colors do tend to look best on pale skin (like I have). You can do red/blue but they need to be deep. I'm very jealous of really tan/dark guys who can wear pinks, though.

You have a great bod, honestly. So you can carry anything off if you'd rather lighter colors :)

Thanks but i think there was a bit of trick photography going on there, those pics even added a darker shade to me than what i've ever had!

My pale = white/transluscent! haha

& yes I am the same, very jealous of those who tan with little effort, even worse is how i don't reallyl ike ot be seen in just my pseedos cos of my skin but then I see so many overweight/unfir guys who are confident enough to just walk around, annoyng!! But hey, them's the breaks!

You look like you at least have an olive skin tone which helps - you look great!

If you have light/pale skin, you can't go wrong with light, bright colours...white, light blue, light green, yellows, greys etc. White, especially, will accentuate your skin and make it look darker. What's nice about a white speedo is that once you've got even a bit of a tan, it makes your tan appear far darker than it is due to the contrast it creates. Try to stay away from black, as (in my opinion) it creates too much of a contrast with pale skin.

I'm not very tanned but in the following photo the white makes it appear as if I have a nice tan going. Of course lighting did help too:

With that having been said, great photos! Your grey/white/red boxer briefs look good on you. A speedo with a colour combination of the sort would look ace.

Try a clay orange suit from aussibum.com
It is sort of flesh colored & makes you look naked from a distance!
I haven't been able to find tan color speedo style suits or sand color briefs
If you find one let me know.
Paleskin need American Indian style suit.
Yellow with thin verticle stripes might make you look taller.
monsterpolo.com has wild water polo designs so check it out.
Indoor water polo is a good sport for speedo dudes with pale skin into sports & body contact in the pool. Find a water polo team & join or just go to masters swimming USA & join an indoor team to be lean & fit & rock those speedo style water polo suits!
