Trunk call

If hitting the beach this summer evokes unpleasant memories of old men sporting Speedos, fear not. Swimwear-maker Vilebrequin is offering flattering and, more importantly, stylish swimming trunks ($980 to $1,350) for beach-loving men everywhere. For those wanting to hide a beer belly, try the mid-thigh length Malibu-style flat-front shorts in a range of colourful patterns (left). The quick-drying trunks come with a bag to store them in when wet, and a water-resistant pouch for holding cash and credit cards. Vilebrequin, Pacific Place, Admiralty, tel: 2918 0263.
