Britain's largest seawater lido marks 90 years
Swimmers have dived in to mark the 90th anniversary of a "special" Cornish seaside lido. A celebration event was held on Saturday at Penzance's Jubilee Pool, which first opened its gates in May 1935 as part of King George V's Silver Jubilee. During the event, people were encouraged to wear vintage swimwear at the pool - which is Britain's largest seawater lido - and a group of 90 partygoers jumped into the water all at once to mark the occasion. Nicola Murdoch, the pool's chief executive, said it was an honour to be able to celebrate the milestone at the site on Battery Road. Ms Murdoch said it was a special day at the pool, with other activities at the party including surfing and water polo demonstrations and live music. She added she was glad the early morning rain had disappeared in time for the main event, but felt even a bit of wet weather would not have dampened the atmosphere. "It's just an honour to be here on a big day in the pool's history," Ms Murdoch said. Ms Murdoch said the pool had had to evolve throughout its existence in order to stay open and had been "extremely hard hit" by the weather and elements at various points.

"It's got so much history and so many stories woven into here," Ms Murdoch said. "It's beautiful and stunning." Two of the swimmers who took part in the festivities were mother and daughter duo Lesley and Tamsyn Nowman, who regularly use the lido. They said the pool was a significant place for their family as Lesley's mother had visited the site the day after it opened in 1935. Tamsyn added: "It's such a lovely event to bring all the community together and to celebrate such a special place that we're really lucky to have on our doorstep."

Thigh guy summer? Men's short shorts in high demand and steering swimwear
Recent victims of shrinkflation have included butter, mouthwash and teabags. The next casualty? Men's shorts. In-seams are rising with retailers reporting a surge in interest for short shorts featuring a 5in and even 3in inside leg measurement. Now the trend is having a knock-on effect on swimwear. This week, GQ magazine posed the question: 'Are Straight Guys Ready for Speedo Summer?' Google searches for Speedos are up 41% year on year in the UK, while the swim brief category is up 17% globally. The fashion stylist Luke Day, who owns more than 50 pairs of swimming briefs, isn't surprised. 'Shorts have become so short it's like: what is next? The answer has to be swimwear.' It's not even June but already a so-called thigh guy summer is well under way in Europe. Earlier this week, the actor Alexander Skarsgård appeared on the British breakfast TV show Lorraine in a pair of checked shorts with a 5in in-seam from the designer S.S. Daley. Curtseying before host Ranvir Singh, Skarsgard said: 'I wanted to be sexy today.' Elsewhere, the latest edition of the art and design magazine Cultured, stars the 53-year-old White Lotus star Walton Goggins on its cover, manspreading in a pair of canary yellow Speedos. Some are calling it the Mescal effect. Five years ago, the Irish actor Paul Mescal became a household name after his role in the TV drama series Normal People. But it was a photograph of Mescal wearing a pair of micro shorts, snapped when leaving a supermarket in east London, that really thrust him into the spotlight. Overnight, shorts were shortened. This season's catwalks were dominated by short shorts with versions appearing at Gucci, Hermès and Dior. Celebrities including Harry Styles, Pharrell Williams, Jeremy Allen White and Donald Glover have all channelled John Travolta in Pulp Fiction with maximum leg-bearing short shorts. Now the trend is going mainstream. On Thursday, Marks & Spencer launched its summer campaign, which positions a pair of banana-printed swim shorts with a 3in in-seam as a wardrobe staple. At John Lewis, bestsellers in its short category include 5in in-seams from Under Armour, while it is micro shorts from Paul Smith and Lacoste are trending in swimwear. Day's preference for short shorts predates Mescal and Gucci by a decade. 'As a gay man I feel we are often pioneers of trends. I've been wearing short shorts for 10 years. But now straight men are wearing them. They want to show off their thighs.' He credits the boom in popularity to a wider interest in health and wellbeing. 'The biggest flex at the moment isn't a designer item. It is your body. People want to show how hard they have been working out.' Orlebar Brown, a British resort wear brand whose swim shorts have been worn by everyone from Hugh Jackman to David Cameron, offers four different in-seam lengths ranging from 6in that hits just above the knee to 3in that grazes the upper quads. Its chief marketing officer, Trevor Hardy, says the shortest style, called the Springer, is 'already becoming more prevalent this year' among its customers. 'Men are becoming more adventurous. Even the most non-fashion conscious man is dressing with more confidence.' Sign up to Fashion Statement Style, with substance: what's really trending this week, a roundup of the best fashion journalism and your wardrobe dilemmas solved after newsletter promotion Brief styles are mandatory at French swimming pools and commonplace on Italian beaches but a rise in cold swimming and sauna culture is also fuelling interest in the UK. Traditional trunks cannot be worn under wetsuits. Briefs and tighter fitting swim shorts also absorb less water making them more suitable for moving between plunge pools. In Australia, yellow and pink styles from AussieBum are a go-to. Speedo's new Jetstream collection takes inspiration from the 1980s with drawcord briefs measuring 3.5in, compared with the 13.5in fit of its standard training briefs. For first-timers taking the plunge with briefs, Day recommends choosing a thicker fabric and sizing up. 'You want a bit of room. It's not about compression.' But his biggest tip is not to make a big deal about them. 'I hate when someone walks out and everyone is like 'Oh he's got budgie smugglers on.' It's like: what year are we living in?'
