There comes a point every summer when your standard black shorts and favourite old vest just aren’t cutting it anymore.
Whether you’re heading to Pride, planning a European beach escape, boarding a gay cruise or dancing until sunrise at a festival, summer is the season when fashion becomes less about blending in and more about expressing yourself.
That’s exactly why VOCLA has become a favourite among style-conscious gay men across the UK.
Founded in 2012 and proudly gay-owned, VOCLA has grown from a specialist underwear retailer into one of the UK’s leading destinations for premium menswear with attitude. From underwear and swimwear to clubwear, fetishwear and holiday essentials, the Manchester-based retailer stocks more than 1,200 styles from some of the biggest names in gay fashion.
And right now, a few collections are standing out from the crowd.
CODE 22 Is Serving Summer Main Character Energy
If one collection captures the mood of Summer 2026, it’s the latest drop from CODE 22.
Designed in Spain and inspired by Mediterranean summers, the SS26 collection is packed with pieces made for beach clubs, rooftop cocktails, Pride weekends and nights that start with “just one drink” and end somewhere around breakfast.
The collection features super-short shorts, racerback vests, lightweight mesh fabrics and coordinated floral sets that feel playful, sexy and effortlessly wearable.
One standout piece is the Eclipse Jumpsuit. Jumpsuits are having a genuine moment right now, and this one feels bold without being intimidating. It’s fashion-forward, body-confident and guaranteed to attract attention for all the right reasons.
The floral shirt and matching shorts combination is another winner. Equal parts holiday romance and beach club chic, it’s the sort of outfit you’ll find yourself reaching for all summer long.
SUKREW’s Wet Look Collection Doesn’t Do Subtle
Some underwear is designed to disappear underneath your clothes.
SUKREW’s Wet Look collection has absolutely no interest in doing that.
Crafted from high-shine stretch fabric that hugs and highlights the body, the collection blends underwear, fetishwear and confidence into one unapologetically sexy package. Sculpted pouches, sleek silhouettes and second-skin styling make every piece feel designed to celebrate the body rather than conceal it.
It’s bold, provocative and impossible to ignore.
Whether you’re heading to a club night, fetish event or simply appreciate underwear that makes you feel good the moment you put it on, SUKREW delivers exactly what its reputation promises.
The Brands That Continue To Deliver
Alongside seasonal collections, VOCLA remains one of the UK’s largest stockists of some of the most recognisable names in gay menswear.
PUMP! continues to be a favourite thanks to its athletic styling, vibrant colours and body-enhancing fits.
MODUS VIVENDI brings a more luxurious Mediterranean aesthetic, combining premium underwear, resortwear and swimwear with sophisticated design.
CODE 22 continues to win fans with its confident Spanish styling and fashion-led collections, while Barcode Berlin delivers edgy clubwear and underwear with a distinctly European attitude.
CellBlock 13 blends sportswear, fetish influences and nightlife fashion into pieces designed to be seen, while AussieBum remains one of the most recognisable names in men’s underwear, thanks to its comfort, quality and iconic Australian confidence.
More Than Just Underwear
While VOCLA built its reputation on underwear, it’s the growing clubwear and partywear categories that are increasingly attracting attention.
From mesh tanks and statement shorts to festival-ready looks and nightlife essentials, the collection is packed with pieces designed for guys who want their wardrobe to work as hard as they do on a dancefloor.
With Pride season, festivals and summer travel in full swing, it’s easy to see why so many men are turning to VOCLA for complete outfits rather than simply what’s underneath them.
Because confidence isn’t just about what you’re wearing.
It’s about how you feel when you’re wearing it.
