It's a helluva look, we'll say that much.
John Wayne, Acapulco, Mexico, 1949
Wayne loved Mexico, location for many of his films. He bought an elegant resort hotel on the Acapulco coast and vacationed there often. The shorts, open shirt, leather bag, even the espadrilles were the he-man attire of the period. Many years later England's"Daily Mirror" ran this photo with the caption,"Is this the Duke? Or the Duchess?"
It's true that American men, and perhaps"he-men" in particular, tended to wear short, tight shorts as beachwear in those days, if photos like this shot from 1945 are any indication:Fashions do change, and it would appear that John Wayne's choice of beachwear was smack dab in the mainstream for its time.. https://www.britannica.com/biography/John-Wayne.
