mankini

Revealing men's swimwear

A mankini is a one-piece men's swimsuit consisting of a sling of fabric that covers the groin and connects to shoulder straps, leaving the torso and buttocks largely exposed.

The garment gained notoriety from the 2006 film *Borat*, where Sacha Baron Cohen wore a lime-green version.

It's worn primarily as a joke or provocation: He showed up to the beach party in a mankini.
