Okay so I can't afford to go to the beach this summer but I'm spending my birthday this February in Tulum, Mexico where summer never ends--in case anyone wanted to throw me a pity party, no need. The point is, no matter when your summer actually gets rolling or where you plan on spending it, everyone needs a sweet suit and when I saw this one in the latest issue of VMAN I about lost it. That's right, you are looking at a men's retro-inspired fucking onesie.
And again:
The best part is that this suit was designed by too-cool-for-school streetwear line WeSC, which means hipsters near you will likely soon be making the beach landscape both classier and prettier, like this awesome gentleman:
I'm pumped because I spent all last summer looking for this exact swimsuit situation and all I found was mothball-y vintage suits that skeeved me out. Whoever decided to finally update what was obviously the best men's swimwear design ever for skateboarders & their ilk is a genius.
Nothing says I'm-at-the-beach-in-this-crazy-swimsuit-and-I-feel-fine like a pair of Ray Bans. I know people wear them everywhere, but something feels classically California to me about Wayfarers, which is a big part of why I like them. LA means Beach Boys, long boards, the smell of sunscreen and these bad boys:
Or, for a more Riviera-ready look, these:
Do you have a grown up beach towel? I don't but I will soon, and it will likely be this one from Nautica:

Speaking of things I wish I owned, wouldn't this necklace from Giles & Brothers look excellent with a margarita?
Very tangentially, I think my San Francisco summer chill would best be solved with this incredible jacket by Rag & Bone. If anyone would like to be my benefactor, this would be an excellent way to start:
Until then, my glamorous beach fantasies continue.
I am very interested in the functionality of swimming in that bathing suit. That does not minimize my excitement however. Please let me know how it works out if in fact you acquire it.
