Remember when this was an acceptable pool float?
LOL
Showing up to a pool party with one of those busted yoga mats these days is like a dude breaking out a Samsung flip phone to get a girl’s number. Sure it can be endearing (ish?), but bottom line: NOPE.
Just like mobile phones, workout classes, and vibrators — pool floats have majorly evolved and upgraded. The type you choose for your pool daze is not only a status symbol, but a solid indicator of the type of person/fun level you are. And the best part: Dudes have totally owned this evolution.
Because I run @BrosBeingBasic on Instagram, I’m probably more privy to these trends than most. I noticed it gaining momentum last year, but this summer is on a whole. notha’. level. The truth is, I decided to write this blog because I couldn’t possibly post all the amazing #BroFloat submissions on the account and they all deserve praise. From unicorns to swans to pizza and donuts, brotation devices are the #1 accessory of the summer and if you’re not posting them on Instagram, you’re not doing it right.
