Quake For Men

Quake for Men has some really great suits for the summer. We are going to profile one very sexy suit and one very classic suit.  The sexy suit is the Pistol Pete Zipper Trunk and Diesl Nagano Bathing Suit.

The first pair is the Pistol Pete Zipper trunk. Not surprisingly the Zipper Trunk has continued to be our best seller throughout the year and we have had to re-stock these several times.  This fitted midcut trunk has it all; quality, style, reasonably priced and has the added fun factor – Working Zips! These trunks are available in Navy, Black and Red.
Zipper Trunk – £23.98 but on sale.

The second is the Diesel Nagano Bathing Suit. These new season swim shorts are a recent addition to our extensive swimwear range but have already proved to be a huge hit.  Diesel knows the market trends and introduced this shorter style swim short to this year’s collection.  These shorts not only look fantastic but have a super soft polyester material which means they feel great, are comfortable and quick drying.  Available colours are Red, Black and Sky Blue. This suit is £29.

Swimwear Trends
Here at Quake for Men we have noticed over the past years a definite UK trend for the more fitted swim trunks, it appears Men are moving away from the longer length shorts.  One of our most popular brands is Pistol Pete which has a great range of swim trunks from classic styles to the more adventurous.

These suits are available on the Quake for Men website.

International Jock is well known for it’s broad selection in undies and swimwear. This year is no exception they have one of the largest collections around. The pair we chose is the Diesel Thorpys Swim Brief Red.

These fully-lined swim briefs include an elastic waistband with contrast stitching and metal drawcord rivets up front.
