Miami Swim Week Cruise 2011: Swell Suits Miami at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim
The guys came out in full force for Swell Suits Miami, a group show featuring men’s swimwear from Naila, Parke & Ronen and Olasul. Prevailing trends on the runway included slim boardshorts, trim swim briefs, short shorts and even barely-there briefs. Naila showed linen shirts trimmed at the cuff and collar with prints to match its trunks and boardshorts. Parke & Ronen went for a retro, sporty Palm Springs, Calif., vibe packed with saturated plaids, animal prints and stripes. Olasul referenced the surf culture, with plenty of beachy, surf-dude prints and sun-washed brights.—Erin Barajas
