Can the males get swimsuits that are a little more...manly? [Not a hate thread]

Hey some men need support too.

This is Bob. Bob had bitch tits.

Seriously? Who knew the equivalent of a boxer brief was so effeminate. I mean, I could understand if these were you know, actual bikini style, or thongs. But these are no more than compression shorts. The tops don't seem so much as looking like bras, as grown men trying to fit into vests meant for toddlers. They just look a bit, iono, odd.

Akira, meet male elezen in underwear.

Yep, looks like nipples to me. Same with he highlander.

Perhaps OP prefers this form of "traditional Japanese swimwear".

I'd like an old one piece vintage chest covering striped swimsuit!

I was so expecting Lalafell to get black and pink versions of those for male and female.

The shorts are not what people are complaining about as being effeminate. It's the top that is definitely extremely effeminate and it is a bizarre choice, frankly.

The confusion I think is because there is no word for these things in western culture. People have been saying mankini as in a two piece men's swim suit where the top is a strange micro shirt instead of a shirt, but some people are thinking that refers to the shorts when they are obviously not bikini style shorts, thankfully.

There's nothing really effeminate about the shorts. Oddly enough the two people who come to mind for guys that would wear shorts like that at the beach were both James Bond...Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan. Most guys just don't wear shorts like that in real life because most guys aren't skinny and ripped.

I refuse to do the event since I dont support my character wearing womens clothing.

Trunks? Yes, please.

I think subligars would fit even better than the actual swimsuits_

I'm starting to think the western world is far too obsessed with what is feminine and masculine. Honestly, these swimwears are really neat! It adds a "flare" of a different culture. This is what Eorzean men wear when they swim. Sorry?

I really actually like it, and I don't understand how some of you say the poses are feminine either. The Elezen one makes them seem shy/bashful, not feminine. But to each their own.

I guess I really just don't understand the complaints. It's not like they make you wear a dress.
/shrug.

Edit: Personally, they remind me of the normal npc gear from Zanarkand.
