A friend of mine is having a birthday soon and, giggling madly, I lashed out and bought him a fantastic present: a lime green Borat mankini. No doubt he’ll look superb in the outfit… if he’s ever brave enough to try it on.
I found myself doing a Google images seach for the mankini and discovered a surprising number of good looking guys who do a damn fine job of wearing this difficult garment. So I thought I’d compile them into a single blog post for your questionable ogling pleasure.
The Original Mankini
Sacha Baren-Cohen’s Borat is often credited with inventing the mankini but in truth it’s been out there for a lot longer. Digging around in my old humour file I found these two images taken prior to 2003. I don’t know who the guy is or where it was taken but I think he was the original inspiration for Borat’s mankini exploits. My photo is labelled “Rico Suave.”
This is a backpacker in Cairns celebrating his 18th birthday – from this news item.

This is allegedly John Mayer wearing a mankini on a boat but I suspect it’s photoshopped. Source. There’s also images of John Mayer sniffing a mankini onstage so he’s obviously a fan.

“Mankini for lovers” – this image appears on various adult store sites.
As does this one.
It’s always good to wear protection. Source.
Who knew you could actually swim in it? Source.
Matter of fact I got it now… this guy is so laid back he deserves to be in this gallery. Source.
This is Mankini Malph. He travels the world and takes photos of himself wearing the mankini in front of famous landmarks. He’s obviously a Dead. Set. Legend. Here’s his Twitter stream and here’s his website. Source.
Now this is what I’m talking about. Sexy guy engaging in serious glamour posing in a waterfall clad in a mankini. Source.
The lime green mankini does fairly well but if you’re after something a little different there’s an entire online store dedicated to selling the mankini. Yes folks, you can even buy a tuxedo mankini for that special occasion. What better way to say “I love you” than with an upmarket 82% polyester black mankini.
Fellas – is anyone willing to show off their stuff in a mankini? Send in your pics! Msnaughty AT msnaughty.com
The Sun held its own competition in 2007 – here are the entrants.
Oh boy, that’s some funny stuff.
The guy mountain biking in his mankini takes the bravery award for me. Being a cyclist, I know how little protection Lycra offers, but at least it’s something between you, your arse cheeks and the gravel!
For style, I think that the guy in the waterfall pulls it off nicely and the “tux” mankini actually looks pretty good. Perhaps that fact that he wears it wide on the shoulders echoing the “V” shape of his body is what makes it work (as well as the bow-tie and perhaps the shoulders …).
Sadly, I don’t own a mankini, but if anyone wants to send me one and I’ll send you the photos!
John.
This is incredible. I happily stumbled across your blog and I keep coming back to this post – it makes me laugh every time! Especially Mankini Malph. I mean, what a champ.
Thanks for posting.
Thanks very much for the mention Ms Naughty and the kind words.
John – the cycling picture was taken in Bolivia at about 4000m on The World’s Most Dangerous Road.
Belle – Glad the mankini pics made you smile. That’s the idea.
Cheers all.
