Style Advice

Hi all, after some help in the style department.
Huge fan of brief cut swimwear (aka speedos -the style, not specifically the brand) and I'm wanting to get a new suit for the lead up to Summer (hooray for the Southern Hemisphere!)

Can people with more fashion advice provide some suggestions on what style/colour/brand etc would suit me best.
NB: I have very pale skin & a bit skinny. Not muscley but sort of toned I guess (struggle to gain muscle, largely because I get distracted/bored too easily to workout)

Pics provided to give you an idea of my bodyshape.. (sorry about the quality, taken on phone camera or webcam..).
Would be very grateful for some honest, knowledgeable help from people, cheers.

In my 'umble opinion you look super especially in those briefs. Definitely not the photoshopped pics that you see in some - just a nice natural guy displaying a nice bulge and body. No complaints from my end.

Agreed - with a body like that, you can get away with anything you want. I'd maybe stay away from light yellows and pinks, but aside from that you look quite good. I expecially like that AussieBum suit on you :mrgreen:

You have a really handsome toned body. Lean but not skinny. As others have said you can wear anything you want and look good. heck you could wear a barrel and look good.

You have the body to wear narrower sided suits that are smaller in the butt. Try some of the those. Some
of the narrower sided Aussiebums might look good on you. The suit with the plaid front has narrower sides and you look good in that cut. Not many people can wear that cut well.

There's a book sold here in the U.S. by Jorge Cruise called "The 12 Second Sequence" that has a particular way of doing exercises with or without weights to build muscle if you want to add some. He uses a scientific approach. you can do these at home and they dont take long. Might be sold in Oz.

But you're really fine just as you are. More than fine. You have a naturally beautiful body.

Not many do.

Wow, well done on making the connection John. Yes the navy Nike suit in pic 35 is the suit I wore in Bali. Sorry the quality isn't very good.
