Some of the most colorful suits I own are from Funky Trunks, a great company out of Australia (
www.funkytrunks.com). They make mostly square cuts with an interesting frontal sewing pattern hat creates a subtle pouch look without being obvious. They also offer a limited selection of briefs with about 2 inch sides. I own 10 or 12 square cuts and several briefs. Love the colors!
You might also look at Turbo suits. You can buy them at swim outlet. These are narrow sides, lower cut than a Speedo suit, and have really bold colors and patterns. They also hold up real well. Swimoutlet also has several other "lesser known" brands that offer some cool stuff.
Bold prints and patterns are back in for swim briefs. I love some of the new stuff Nike and Tyr are putting out. You might find Tyr to meet you smaller side desires. The Finals also has some cools stuff. Both swimoutlet and Metro Swim have great selections.
It's finally Summer in Maine... go get some hot stuff and give the Summer some awesome color.

PS: I continue to see the trend away from Jammers. The guys on our local swim team have all gone to briefs this year.
