Yes, I feel like a bitch for saying this, but really Giorgio Armani? Seriously? One of the most famous, classiest, most elegant men in the world, responsible for making men and women beautiful, elegant and classy, and you end up in a BAGGY white bikini swimsuit that makes you look like you’re wearing a diaper?
Yes, I know Giorgio is an “Old”. He just turned 76 years old a few weeks ago – he has every right to go on holiday and enjoy himself in the sun (although he’s looking a little beef jerky-esque, but whatever). I’m not criticizing him for being on the beach, or for taking a vacation, or for wearing a swimsuit in general. It’s this swimsuit in particular – this baggy white diaper bikini. It’s stunningly horrible. Also: is this George Clooney’s future? Can’t you see it? One more decade, and Clooney is going to be vacationing with his latest cocktail waitress, wearing a white mankini and making the young’uns feel a little sick. Ah, Giorgio Clooney!
But of course he has more money than God and he could buy and sell me a million times over, so what does it matter. Oh, Giorgio. Buy some swim trunks. Or you could even design a pair!
Oh, and his body still looks pretty awesome for 76, doesn’t it?

Ewwwwww!
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That is just… BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
If you have any pics of Karl Lagerfeld in swimwear please keep them to yourself.
I don’t enjoy seeing him like this, HOWEVER, he looks very good for his age, and more importantly he was on his own time, private time, so why is he being photographed and judged?
I am always curious as to how the people who took the photos and the ones who will be critical would look if they were photographed in their private moments – or anytime for that matter.
Totally gross. This guy makes a living telling women how to look. He should take a little of that overpriced advice and paste it over his nipples. STAT.
Isn’t that how men wear swimwear in Europe? In Australia, they’re called budgie smugglers. In the US, isn’t it called a banana hammock?
I don’t know. I find his tan more over the top. Sometimes he looks like has reached tandoori proportions.
But physically, he looks good for his age and I say that after spending 4 years of my life working in nursing homes.
Since when do you have to cover up when you get old? He looks good, strangely no one commented on the the grandma wearing a Dental. where was this? Europe? Then, it’s normal.
His body is not bad for his age. But the whole speedo thing is why I prefer American men to European men.
Leave the guy alone! People have the right to wear what they want.
He’s Euro so he can wear it. I just would have preferred a different color and better fit. He’s actually in decent shape for a man his age. Go Giorgio!
My reaction when I scrolled down was “UGH!” Not so much because of the mankini in general, but because as you say it’s saggy and looks like a diaper.
He looks OK (all things considered) but still, ew. By the time you get to that age you should be able to do what you want (within reason) so good for him. No one told the photog to take pix of it.
Ugh. It’s called Nappy Chic.
Sure, I’d much rather see him in trunks, but you have to hand it to the guy… he looks great at 76.
meh, he’s european so he gets a pass. But still….ick
He does have a not-too-bad body for his age. Truly, I’ve seen much worse on younger men. However, dude needs to wear swim trunks in public.
At 76 I’d be afraid a white mankini would look too much like I’m wearing a pair of depends, but that’s just me.
well, he is in public!
i thought he was clint eastwood before i saw the headline…
What do I have to read? I’m also european and I don’t see any man his age wearing speedos at the beach. Don’t even young men wear them! (maybe in Russia and Italy, I don’t know)
However, I don’t think he’s wearing it like I plan to wear sandals with socks when I am old, he has this expression “look at my body”. This is what I dislike, his italian-macho attitude, his body is not bad for his age.
I’ve done my fair share of fitness swimming, so men in Speedos don’t scare or offend me in the least. But my man saves his Speedo for the pool. He does his surfing in trunks or a wetsuit like a good California boy. But he looks delish in his Speedo!
But Georgio’s swimsuit is a bit baggie IMO.
All kinds of Oh Hell No.
I don’t need to see an old man’s package.
That’s what men wear on the beach in Europe. Such provincials.
totally gross, but leave the old guy alone!
He looks good for 76 but the white baggy mankini was a bad idea. It does look like a diaper. He should have gone with another color like black. That would have been more flattering.
I think he looks good. His skin is in good shape, he’s still got decent muscle tone and he carries himself with confidence..
He’s a sexy man, his age does not kill it for me.
It is totally Clooney’s future lol
he’s a pretty good looking ole dude but at some point you gotta put it away. He’s at that point.
Yesterday you subjected us to Jon Gosslin in swim wear. Now this. Come on show us girls something sexy, hot, fresh, etc. Must say though Giorgio has it all over Jon.
Where is Matthew M.? Please!!!!:)
His face reminds me of Voldemort.
Some of you need to travel and experience the world. This is how men dress for the beach in Europe. Armani looks pretty good and in great shape for a man his age. You should see what I’ve seen while on the beaches in Europe . . . grossly fat men and women in tiny bikinis/speedos who don’t care what anybody thinks because they are comfortable in their own skins. So stop body snarking and move on!!
You tell people what to wear and you go out in THAT!? That’s worse than Jose Eber and that stupid cowboy hat.
He’s European, has a damn good physique and is in the “I’m 76 years old and don’t give a fark” time of his life so I say go on with your bad self, Giorgio!
On anybody else, I would be pouring bleach into my eyes but Armani has a lifetime pass to wear whatever he wants. This isn’t the red carpet, folks.
Needless to say, yes, I would hit it. And not with a baseball bat, ifyouknowwhatimsayin…
I think he looks cool and in amazing shape
for his age- I mean look at his skin tone-
it’s better than alot of these anorexic
hags in Hollywood that are more than half his age!
He’s obviously still gettin’ it.
Leave the man alone, he’s a genius!
Ewww .. but I guess he has a bit of old timers thinking he’s a young stud muffin 🙂 But since he’s trying to impress Barbie, I’d say let him have his delusions.
Sometimes I envy the European sensibility about in this case swimwear. If his ‘budgie smugglers’ where any tighter the criticism would be even louder so I think he’s being quite considerate.
This is normal in Europe and he looks perfectly fine to me. Even if you’re not a puritan American, that’s the overwhelming view, that a man can only wear baggy shorts. Piss off.
this is how they do on the italian riviera.
give the guy a break. he’s not on the jersey shore for pete’s sake.
plus, at least his body isn’t doin’ a ‘nicholson’

yikes :-0
at 76 years old, he has an amazing physique and definitely has nothing to be ashamed of. this swimwear is what most european men wear and while it’s not my favorite type, he definitely does it justice. rock on, giorgio! good on ya
He has been quite ill this year as well, so it’s good to see him out, but he is thinner and perhaps that is why the suit isn;t the best. But as other posters have mentioned, this is europe and they love their skivvie suits!
It’s a diaperkini. Yea, I said it.
He looks fine in it and all but still. Ew. It looks like underpants. I do not want any kind of knowledge of what his penile area looks like.
no…just no.
When I’m his age-I’ll be naked on the beach and I really won’t care what anyone has to say about it either. I like mankinis-wish they were more popular in the U.S.
The way I see it is that you only have two points in your life when it is acceptable to get away with dressing how you want, when your a kid and when your old. He probably thinks no one cares so why should he!
He is a fabulous man enjoying the sea n sand in true Euro style, lol. Giorgio can wear whatever the hell he wants to 🙂 He’s an inspiration for 76, keeping healthy and in shape…He looks healthy and spritely, unlike poor, skeevy Hef who looks desperate and frail…Wonder if he’s got a hot boy toy somewhere around? Or is he more mature and age-appropriate with his loves?…Hmm…
Am I the only one that thinks that maybe he legit /is/ wearing a diaperkini? I mean, he’s old, right?
Hahaha! Diaperkini! Hilarious! Thats exactly what it looks like!
Well said Kaiser.
I think he’s friggin’ Giorgio Armani. He’s Italian. That’s what old Italian dudes wear on the beach. He can wear whatever the hell he wants. At least he’s tan, in good shape and the mankini isn’t super tight so it shows all his junk. Now THAT would be a bit much.
I’ve seen a lot worse from people far younger than him.
Leave the old guy alone. He is totally geriatric sexy.
😉
I miss Europe.
@ Audra… you took the words right out of my mouth!
