Brief Distraction

Swimwear SS13-2

This is one of my favorite pics from the UNB Swimwear shoot. Ignacio Rivera Jr. helped with our site and took this picture. He managed to get Kyle in mid-air doing a back flip. I wanted to use this for our Facebook cover pic but Facebook blew it up too bad! But it’s an awesome pic

Swimwear SS13-5We have a great candid shot from our UNB Swim Guide! Ignacio Rivera Jr. was on hand for our shoot and he snapped this pic during the shoot.

Brief Distraction

354Today’s Brief Distraction is from Vuthy. The new swim line is out and we want you to check out the great new styles. This years line is a lot of fun and has something you’ll like!

Brief Distraction

354Today’s Brief Distraction is from the new Vuthy Swim collection. It’s making me long for summer. The new line is one of the best swim lines of the season. It goes form classic to wild. So there is something you will love to wear at the beach/pool this year!

New Vuthy Swim for 2013

344

Swimwear is one of those things that is different for every person. Some like board shorts, other like shorter turnks, while others like to show a little more skin. Vuthy has all those styles and a lot more this summer. This collection has really come into it’s own and is one of the strongest they have done to date. When I first saw the line I knew they had some great pairs that you guys will love for summr. No matter what style you like, Vuthy will have it and they have reintroduced the swim thong. They haven’t been too prevalent in men’s swimwear for a while and now. Vuthy has released a new line for this year. When I first saw this line, I really liked it. The new line has a very summer feel to it.

Summer is right around the corner and here are a few pairs you may like. We are going to profile all the styles in each color here!

324(1) 321(1) 342(1)

The Turquoise/Black stripes show that they are doing a the same fabric in several styles. This one is in a longer board short, medium board short and a square cut. If you want to have a cover up and then wear the square cut, this line is perfect for that! The styles are 324 Medium Shorts, 321 Longer Board Short and 342 is the square cut

320(1)

Board shorts are big with the Vuthy Collection This one has a very much Hawaiian inspired print. This is remnant of the older surf shorts to me. If there is a par that says summer these are them! This is style 320

323(1) 319(1)

Floral and tropical prints really set this line apart. The Hawaiian influence is felt in these two suits as well. They have a floral print but not too loud or crazy. The styles are 323 and 319-longer.

331(3) 318(1) 329(1) 341(1)

Speaking of Bright floral print! These definitely say summer in either Hawaii, South Beach or any tropical island you can find. They are available in a few styles including the above mentioned swim thong. To me this is one of the best pairs in the collection, the colors just pop and will look great on the beach. Styles are 331 thong, 318 bikini, 329 swim brief and 342 trunk.

332(1) 333(1) 339(1) 338(1)

In previous collections the square cut’s have played a big role in previous collections. This year they have even more geographic patterns. This one has the solid color the waist band that goes down the leg on the right side (your right if wearing). This style comes in way more colors and you can find the one that fits your mood. You can do the black/grey or maybe you want to wear something brighter such as the yellow/navy. They are simple in design but make a great statement on the beach. Styles include 332, 333, 339, 337, 338 and 336. Make sure you check all colors!

330(1) 325(1)

Swimwear should be just as fun as underwear. At times I think this should be even more so, because the world is going to see your swimwear, whereas only a select few seen your undies. Vuthy has released the dots line, the turquoise dots on a black background will be fun to wear on the beach this year! Style 330 is the thong and 325 is the swim brief.

326(1) 335(1)

As I have said the Hawaiian influence is strong in this line. If you want a floral print but not one like the orange/yellow print above, but you may like one more subdued. This one is light blue flowers on a darker background. The swim brief and trunk have different color backgrounds. Styles are 326 for swim brief and 335 for the square cut

344(1) 355(3) 350(1)

Leopard can scare many guys off. Many don’t want to bring that attention on themselves or appear that they are a throw back to the ’70′s. Vuthy updates the leopard into a fun print that will get you really noticed on the beach. This is one pair that is not for the shy, but more for the bold who wants to get the attention at the beach or pool. Styles are 344 bikini, 355 swim thong and 350 for swim brief.

366(1) 356(1)

The last pair we are going to cover is the Camo line. Camo has been very big in the world of underwear and not many designers have carried it over to Swimwear. Vuthy is taking a risk with the camo. The square cut  has the same design as the previous design we profiled but the main color is camo. The Bikini is one with same print but no extra colors. Both of these are really fun. Styles are 366 Square Cut and 356 for the Bikini.

These are only a few of the lines. The line was completely relaunched this season with new pairs. There are plenty of more bikinis, thongs and colors to see! Make sure you check them out at your favorite retailer.

Review – Vuthy Houndstooth Swim Brief

I have a hard time finding a good swimsuit because I have a very large set of buttocks. It’s true. It’s part of the reason why I primarily wear thongs as underwear. A few summers ago I finally decided to switch from board shorts to swim briefs and bikinis. I have had a hard time finding a pair that would stay in place. Usually after a few minutes the swimsuit would start riding up. The last thing you want to do is pick a wedgie when you are trying to look cute on the beach. I even bought into the hype of a new brand last summer. On a trip to Miami last year I spent most of the time adjusting a swimsuit I spent way too much money on.

So imagine my skeptical attitude when I got to review a swimsuit from Vuthy. The pair was featured in UNB’s Guide to Swimwear this year. I loved the print. A fun houndstooth in black and white made of 80% Nylon, 20% Spandex. The fabric is super stretchy and light on the skin. The instant I tried them on I was pleasantly surprised by comfort level. This is really a great design. The back of the swimsuit was fully covering me. I decided to start testing it out and walked around a bit. The suit stayed in place and I loved it. The waist fit great as did the piping around the legs.

I have worn them a few times. There is a jacuzzi as my gym I have relaxed in wearing them. It’s great when a swimsuit is so comfortable that you feel naked when trying to relax. I have also wore this swimsuit to the beach a few times. I have gotten more compliments on this bathing suit then I ever remember getting at the beach. And the best part, I never had to adjust a wedgy. I did wish that there a bit more of a contoured shape to the front pouch. I found it to be a little bit flattening but not to the point I was uncomfortable.

I will definitely be adding more Vuthy swimwear to my collection next summer.

Pros –

  • Great fit in the rear.
  • Great fabric and bold print

Con’s –

  • A hand wash only swimsuit. I still threw it in the washing machine. ;)
  • Smooshing the bulge.

Ratings:

  • Fit 4.5
  • Materials 5
  • Construction 5
  • Look 5
  • Daily Wear 5
  • Overall 4.9

This pair was furnished by Vuthy.
