Whether vacationing on the pleasure planet Risa, the holodeck, or a beach on Earth, these Star Trek TNG Swim Trunks are always in style. Dive into these trunks, then dive into the ocean.
ThinkGeek has offered Star Trek swimwear for the ladies for a while now, but now it’s the guys’ turn. They all have uniform designs and TNG uniform styling at the leg opening. There’s even a faux combadge on the left thigh. They may not be Starfleet regulation, but they sure look good. For those of you taking one of those Star Trek cruises, you can expect to see a lot of these this season.
They will make your away missions awesome. Which gets me thinking. If Baywatch had been about a bunch of Starfleet personnel being lifeguards on Risa (with David Hasselhoff as the Captain) I may have actually watched that show. Think of all the crazy sea-aliens they would feature every single week.
Grab a pair in blue, gold, or red over at ThinkGeek for $49.99.
Everybody loves Star Wars! It’s one of the biggest franchises in history and of course it’s spawned all kinds of merchandise, from spin-off movies and TV shows, to countless toys and action figures, books, household items, and my favorite, clothing! There’s so much great Star Wars clothing out there and I’m here to share some of my favorite Star Wars swim suits!
I hope you love my picks, and always remember, there’s plenty more to look at!
This stylish one-piece is subtle and subdued, not overly flashy, but it’s understated appearance looks good at any pool or beach. The black At-At designs against the white backdrop make for a geeky yet still fashionable piece.
The bright orange color is perfect for summer and it’s not too bright, as it contrasts with the dark blue background. BB-8 is a beloved, relative newcomer to the Star Wars series, at the cute little droid made his first appearance in Star Wars Episode 7. No wonder he’s already so popular, I mean, just look how adorable he is on these swim trunks!
I know these are the only swim trunks for adult men I’ve included, but they are the best I’ve found. The space ships are cool looking and any man wearing these will still feel fashionable without being too nerdy.
I love the print on this swimsuit! It looks like a scene straight out of the movies and it’s a beautiful image. Also, who can resist C-3PO and R2-D2? They are such a great duo!
Okay, I know this is the only bikini on the entire list. I love bikinis, don’t get me wrong, but when looking for something to show off my love of Star Wars, most bikinis don’t have enough fabric to properly show off the love. (They’re better for showing off skin.) Anyway, I thought this bikini, with its simple Star Wars logo definitely shows off a proper amount of geekery.
Blue is my favorite color, so of course I had to include these awesome swim trunks! The color is gorgeous and what little boy doesn’t want to wear a stormtrooper print? These trunks are seriously great!
Technically, these trunks aren’t retro, but I’ve called them that as the design just looks so 70s inspired. It looks like a pair of swim trunks that a boy would be wearing at the pool right after watching the original Star Wars movie in 1977; just look at the images of Chewbacca and Darth Vader and the rest of the gang. I’m a huge fan of retro designs, so these swim trunks are a huge winner.
Can you say cute? I know R2-D2 seems to be on almost all Star Wars merch, but he’s just such a lovable character, not to mention how great he looks as a clothing design. I love this one-piece swim suit. It’s sexy and adorable at the same time.
After so many boys swim trunks, it was about time to feature trunks meant for an even younger age. These cuties are for toddlers and your tiny tot will be sure to look like the coolest kid at the pool. Look at the cartoony versions of Darth and the stormtrooper, they just get my heart!
After featuring so many women’s suits, it was time to show a girl’s swim suit. This tankini is adorable and will show off your future Princess Leia’s love of Star Wars. She will be the coolest princess on the sands of Tatooine.
Star Wars Darth Vader One Piece Swim Suit
This might be my favorite swim suit on the entire list. It’s definitely something I could see myself wearing. Darth Vader may be evil, but while wearing this suit, you’ll look evilly sexy.
Long sleeve? Odd choice, you may be thinking, but if you’re planning to go surfing, this might be a good option. Or maybe you’re looking for something a bit more modest or something to help you cover up on an especially burning sunny day. Whatever the reason is, this swimsuit, once again featuring our friend R2-D2, is a great choice.
I hope you found something to wear for a great day at the beach or pool and to show off your love of the wonderful Star Wars!
Multipurpose stuff like the Titan Multi Tool Collar and LG Smart Scan Mouse make seemingly ordinary things seem much more useful. But then there are designs like the ThingThong that makes me think twice about cramming too many uses into a certain object. See for yourself and tell me you don’t agree with me.
Not a very pretty sight, is it? It’s a concept design (well, I hope it is) by designer Douglas Hamilton. It’s basically a pair of flipflops – and, if needed, it also converts into two pairs of swim trunks.
Each flipflop has a super elastic strap which stretches out and converts it into a thong strap. Just flip the ThingThong over, stretch it wide, step inside, and wear it. It doesn’t look comfortable, attractive, or appealing in any way, so I highly doubt it’ll make it’s way to any manufacturers, but you never know.
