Guys' Underwear Blog

The wait is over, guys! It’s finally here – our official guide to the hottest ES Collection swim wear of 2012.

We do this guide every year. And get this, it’s not something they ask us to. We are simply avid fans of the high-end Spanish brand. And while we LOVE their underwear, we are crazy fans of their huge and ever-growing swim wear collection.

The ES guys have got it all figured out – great cuts, smoking designs, and intelligent bulge-enhancing features.

This year’s introductions are no exception. ES Collection have so many thrilling news in the swim wear department that we had to split up our guide into two parts.

First up we have swim briefs and trunks for those of you who are into the sexy, tight, olympic-like look.

And who are we kidding – we’re all into the look.

So, we crawled through ES Collection’s ENTIRE collection of briefs and trunks and found our 3 favorite styles – and tried them out.

They didn’t disappoint.

So without further ado, here’s our 3 favorite briefs and trunks:

Swim brief #1: 1127 BARCELONA 2012 EDITION

Made from a standard 80% Nylon and 20% Spandex fabric blend, this brief is classic ES complete with their signature curves of the sides of the briefs and color contrasting. The fit is absolutely superb, and we adore the external drawstring. The drawstring detailing is very hot this season, and ES Collection does this feature better than most. We like the balanced, not-overly-wide waistband and the subtle ES logo – both giving this brief a mature and adult look.

The key feature, though, is the padded pouch. The swim brief comes with a foam mould that can be inserted into or removed from an inside pocket in the front pouch. This means that it’s up to you to decide which days you want the extra padding. And it’s very tastefully done, too. Not too-in-your-face obvious padding, but a slight, discrete enhancement.

The 1127 BARCELONA 2012 EDITION swim brief $81.25, and you can get it over at www.escollection.es.

Swim brief #2: 1218 QATAR I

The Qatar brief has not only an exotic name, but an exotic and exclusive look and feel. Like the previous swim brief, this, too, is made of 80% Nylon and 20% Spandex. It has less curves and more of a clean and classic, square box, 60′s look.

Defining details include a posh metal button and a twist with the the string positioned on the left side of the brief front, rather than in the middle. In short, it’s elegant and simple with a great fit and the same pouch enhancement features as the Barcelona brief.

And don’t just take our word for it – the Qatar swim brief has been the #1 selling swim brief for ES Collection!

By the way, it’s gorgeous in white. And don’t worry, it won’t turn see-through when you take it into the water.

Get it over at www.escollection.es. It’s $81.35 USD.

Swim trunk: 1210 UNITED STATES

Of course, sometimes you need to shake things up. Why not switch the brief look to a more mainstream, manly trunk look? A swim trunk can enable you to blend in more on beaches that may not be too speedo-friendly.

ES Collection has the perfect option for this scenario – the United States swim brief.

Same fabric as the two briefs above, but this trunk has an even cleaner look than the Qatar brief. No strings here, just a clever button solution as part of the waistband.

However, you don’t want a look that’s too clean or mainstream. So, take our advice and get the United States swim brief in a some bright contrasting colors, like in the pictures below (color code 320).

The United States swim trunk is $93.75 USD. Get it over at www.escollection.es.

That’s it for today guys!

Stay tuned! Because tomorrow we have 3 more hot ES Collection swim wear styles to present to you from the shorts category.
