These Sexy Summer Prints Will Amp Up Your Beach Game

We've sung the praises of the scanty swim brief, and we've definitely had it with the dowdy board short. But this season isn't so much about the fit and length of your suit as it is its personality--by which we mean go big or go home. A funky printed trunk works for all body types and allows even the most bashful guy to show he's up for a good time. Styles range from the adorably kitsch (H&M's poppy watermelons) to retro chic (Ralph Lauren's meta beach scenes) to goth lite (Dior and Japanese artist Toru Kamei's skull-and-flowers combo). Grab whatever pair speaks to you, head for the sand, and never look back.
