The trunks are the original costume, but I agree, that is the best costume for Namor.

That's the costume for Namor I liked best as a kid. I think the trunks work when drawn by someone with a more cartoony style, like Kirby drew him in the early Avengers issues, but the more realistic you go, the more awkward the trunks look.
Here you go
It is the last page of the issue
Atlanteans attacked a ship or something. People on trip kill them and hang them or something. The Avengers are on the way. Namor shows up to the ship pissed.
(on another note. THis will be the first T'challa/Namor interaction since Secret Wars. I'll be curious on the relationship. Water under the bridge or hostilities?)

I'm glad I've been building my statue collection over the last year. Namor figuring prominently in it.
I say give Greg Pak, Christopher Priest or Jeff Parker a Namor on going.

Nah, it depends on how you draw him. If you draw him with a regular guy's build then yes a regular guy walking around in speedos looks ridiculous. If you draw him like a heavyweight bodybuilder, then no he will look great and imposing. Look at Buscema and more recently Joe Jusko and Greg Land , there's nothing cartoony about their styles and he looks great. I think Ariel Olivetti is another one who could have drawn a great classical Namor but they missed the boat and used the leotard.
And then in reality Olympic swimmers needing all their speed don't wear wet suits. Wet suits are required by divers and surfers but that's because we are only humans ill equipped for the ocean's cold and environment. Doesn't makes any sense for Namor, only to correct the chemical imbalance when it debuted but that is a subplot long gone.
Some new Namor cosplays from 2018. this guy got the facial expression on point.
