The subject, identified as Albert Fox (born ~1896), appears to be in his late 50s to early 60s, placing the photo in the 1950s. The patterned swim trunks became highly popular for men's beachwear in the post-WWII era, specifically the 1950s. The amateur snapshot format with a light leak is characteristic of mid-century consumer photography.
