Men In Speedos

When a man uses a Speedo, he does not just "wear a swimsuit" or "be ready to swim". Take a Speedo. And even though, technically, Speedo is a brand, thanks to a wide range of swimwear and accessories based on performance, thank you, the brand is synonymous with sticky, revealing, liberating, in short. He is known for the brief because it is the exceptional swimsuit. There is no statement as a Speedo statement. When a man uses a Speedo, it's one thing. At least in America. European and South American men have worn the costume without stigma for years. The athletes use them too. So why is the simple swimsuit so shocking to see at a pool party or, say, your dad? And is it really acceptable to use one? That's what swimsuit experts had to say. In terms of maximum performance, there is no better option. "This has been an iconic silhouette in the world of fashion and sports," said Giorgi Duvall, vice president of marketing and design at Speedo Softgoods at PVH. "In the United States, you see it a lot in swimming, diving or water polo competition, it creates freedom of movement and support." The five-time gold medalist, Nathan Adrian, confirmed the practical use of Speedo for this sport. "A lot of water is a sensation, you feel how your body reacts to it," says Adrian. "I need my skin to touch the water, when you really swim, there is no doubt that Speedo is faster." There is another practical Speedo movement that unfolds a little out of sight: the boys put the Speedo panties under longer chests for more support or to cover themselves until they enter the 'water. "I often see him in places like the Hamptons," said George Sotelo, founder of the Thorsun swimsuit. "The boys are wearing shorts over their underpants because you are really exposed to a Speedo." It seems that the practical use of the support or the performance of the brief allows a Speedo to appear in a style statement. "I think it always starts in competitive swimming and it's becoming fashionable," says Duvall. Adrian seems to illustrate this idea exactly. "It started as something uniform for me," he says. "As a typical shy kid, I would wear a blue or black Speedo so nothing comes out, now it's a lot less something I want to hide or people do not notice, it's a bit more a statement . "
