Like many guys of my age, wore 'speedos' when young, although they were just regarded as ' trunks' back in the day. My first pair were ones my older brother didn't use - really brief, quite thin material and almost camoflage colour contrasts!
Shorts for swimming were starting to come in, but I still wore trunks. Got a photo of me sitting ontop of a pedallo in Italy in the late eighties with a pair of le coq trunks ( I think!) Wore shorts later on but still a secret speedo 'lover' and then discovered square cuts in the noughties and wear them for swimming and sunbathing. However, for the first time this year, persuaded my better half to allow me to wear slazanger briefs at the pool and for swimming! Even went swimming in the Lake District with a mate with them on! He had his baggy shorts on and complained about the drag in the water and then sitting in the sun with them on.
Like probably everyone else here, probably, like the look and feel. Just need to lose a bit of my gut and tone up a bit more to be fiit for purpose!
