Brazilian Wallace Fortes is From the Temple of Swoon
Timothy Rawles READ TIME: 16 MIN.
From the “Land of the Body Beautiful,” Brazilian Wallace Fortes gives every inch of meaning to that moniker. He’s also giving Instagram that jeitinho brasileiro vibe.
For those who don’t know what jeitinho brasileiro means, it’s a cultural thing. Loosely, it’s defined as finding a creative, maybe flirtatious, solution to an everyday problem. For Wallace, that’s getting social media followers and creating thirst traps to get them.
It seems to be working because he’s already over 16,000 subscribers strong on Instagram. Like most Brazilians you can find Wallace at the beach, at least when he’s taking selfies.
The beaches in Brazil are considered sacred. They are like revered playgrounds where the less clothing the better. Did you know that tiny, skimpy bikini bottoms called “fio dental” were invented there? It literally means dental floss.
Wallace doesn’t have a pair of those, at least not that we can tell. But he does share plenty of sexy shots of him in nothing but swimming trunks and booty shorts.
This is the culture that celebrates skin after all and Wallace puts almost everything on display, nothing taboo about it. In fact, not wearing clothes equals freedom, something Brazilians celebrate whenever they can.
Never without a splash of bright color or a man by his side, Wallace is all about giving us a full view of his exquisite physique. Everything from his well-defined arms to his chiseled chest and abs are featured on Instagram. But, as they say in Brazil , “beauty isn’t what you have—it’s how you carry it.”
